The German pavilion was directly across from the Soviet pavilion. After the architect Albert Speer saw a model of the U.S.S.R. pavilion, he quickly changed his design. “The sculptural group rose up triumphantly on a plinth over the German pavilion. I quickly did a new sketch of our pavilion, making it a massive cube that would break to pieces any enemy advance, and from its perch on my tower, an eagle with a swastika in its claws looked down on the Russian pair.” Both pavilions were awarded grand prizes at the Fair.
