So I have to make this long enough to not get deleted, but I just came here to say: Who watches the watchmen?

Hello all, first time r/History poster, please be gentle.
First off, I'm a 100% Hitler was evil guy, this has nothing to do with liking Nazis or anything like this.
Growing up, I watched the History channel when it was still completely history shows. I loved history of all kinds, but I particularly enjoyed WWII docs. What caught my attention as a child wasn't the tanks or giant guns or anything like that - it was the architecture and the grand plans for Berlin and Germany as a whole. I remember they wanted to turn it into a "worthy" capital for their imagined global empire. I remember seeing many many blueprints, city designs, and even a massive mock up of Berlin after it was rebuilt.
I would really be interested in finding shows or books that discuss their plans for the future from an infrastructure point of view, and would appreciate any recommendations.
As an aside, I recommend reading Blitzed, I found it to be a fascinating insight on an aspect of WW2 I hadn't been aware of.
Thank you everyone
