Yes. Albert Speer was probably the second most dedicated Nazi of the war, only behind Hitler. In his book, Inside the Third Reich he claims that he was just a nonpolitical miracle worker, that he didn’t know about the death camps, and that he hated Hitler and even plotted to kill him. None of these things was true. Like a lot of Germans, he was a meticulous record keeper. And after the war, they found Memoranda in his vast files that gave detailed accounts of the death camps, his massive use of slave labor, and even several letters expressing gushing admiration to Hitler. During Nuremberg, he went to great lengths to point out that he had fought for the Jews to provide them better food and shelter. But, once again, according to his own documents, he only did this so they would be more productive workers. Much has been written about how he weaseled out of the noose at Nuremberg. Basically, he was a cool and smart character under pressure, admitting his guilt and being the only one to show remorse.
