What if Albert Speer had studied physics?

Albert Speer was undoubtedly the sanest, and probably the most intelligent of all the senior members of the Nazi party. True, he was tried and convicted of war crimes at Nuremberg, but, his position as Minister of Armaments and Munitions was forced on him by Hitler himself. He couldn't possibly have refused. If Hitler had simply left him as his chief architect -- which would certainly have been Speer's preference -- Speer would never have been considered a war criminal. Even in the position of Minister of Munitions, which inevitably convicted him of war crimes, Speer managed to do some good. He saved perhaps hundreds of thousands of Jews by insisting on decent food, housing and treatment for his forced Jewish laborers. His rationale was that they worked better that way, no doubt true enough, but Speer remains a rather enigmatic and mysterious figure in terms of his actual motivations. Speer was an architect, and an excellent one, by training, but his talents were numerous. He probably could have studied physics successfully. Let's suppose that he did study physics, as well as architecture. I would suggest that this could conceivably have changed history a great deal. As one of the very few people Hitler actually liked and trusted, Speer could probably have convinced Hitler of the potential power of nuclear weapons, and, of their feasibility. Speer would also have been detached enough to see through the superficiality of much of theoretical physics. Speer would have perceived, correctly, that Einstein was possibly more of an artist than a scientist, and that Relativity theory was simply excellent science fiction. And Speer, even without physics training, was dubious about Werner Heisenberg, and his role in the Nazi A-bomb project. And Werner Heisenberg was critical in the development of Quantum Mechanics, which tells us that it is impossible to fully understand the energy emissions of atoms, thus discouraging the investigation of complex interactions between multiple radioactive isotopes, as impossible to fully understand. So, Speer steers Hitler away from the pursuit of conventional munitions, and conventional war, towards nuclear weapons, and the development of peaceful nuclear power. But, Speer goes farther. Speer studies the interactions of multiple complex radioactive isotopes in combination, something that nuclear physicists never do, because quantum mechanics tells us this is impossible to do. But, it isn't. And Speer discovers new sources of energy that are even now, currently unknown. Speer's influence with Hitler becomes ever greater, as his discoveries increase the power and prestige of Nazi Germany. Speer convinces Hitler that Jews are critical to the further development of nuclear power, so Hitler essentially drops his antisemitic policies. Albert Einstein comes back to Germany to work closely with Albert Speer. Together, Einstein and Speer develop controlled nuclear fusion reactors, providing limitless free and clean nuclear power. Einstein, Speer and Werner von Braun build spaceships powered by nuclear powered reactors that travel at speeds far greater than that of light. Einstein says, regarding his Theory of Relativity, "Well, I always said I wished someone could prove me wrong. It was never more than an idea, anyway, you know." Mankind travels peacefully to other earthlike planets, in other solar systems, colonizing them, and living peacefully together in universal brotherhood, under that beautiful, ancient Shinto symbol, the Swastika. It's a wonderful image, isn't it?
