Olympic Trivia: The 2008 Olympics in Beijing were designed by Albert Speer.
Just by coincidence, or maybe not, Albert's father, also an Albert Speer, designed the 1936 Olympics for Adolph Hitler. The elder Speer server as Hitler's Minister of Armaments, and later spent 20 years in Spandau prison after his conviction at the Nuremburg war crimes trials.
It's almost enough to make me wished I had watched the opening ceremonies.
Almost.
