I was amazed myself to learn that the Wannsee Protokolls were 'found' by Kempner. Therefore it is worthwhile to digg a bit further on this gentleman:
http://www.fpp.co.uk/books/Nuremberg/NUREMBERG.pdf
Robert Max Wasili Kempner, born in Freiburg on October 17, 1899, was a thoroughly embittered and rather nasty piece of work.
Returning now to Nuremberg in 1945, Kempner swore revenge – revenge at any price. In doing so he put behind him the strict ethics by which he had been brought up in the law in Weimar, Germany. Preparing the prosecution case, he frequently resorted to threats and coercion to get witnesses to change or withdraw inconvenient evidence...
In the files there is also a memorandum from Colonel Telford Taylor warning Kempner that he was not to promise inmates early release as an inducement during interrogation.
Kempner’s behaviour with evidence was also highly questionable. He would later turn up in German foreign ministry files the original Copy No. 16 of the Wannsee Protocol, and bestow upon it a wholly undeserved reputation as a key document in the Final Solution of the Jewish problem – despite the aura which now surrounds it, the document contains no explicit reference to the killing of Jews. Mysteriously, a second ostensibly original ‘Copy No. 16’ of this document, complete with GEHEIME KOMMANDOSACHE rubber stamps, began to circulate, whose existence naturally cast doubt upon the authenticity of the first.
Not only did the R.H.S.A., the agency supposedly originating the document, use the civilian classification GEHEIME REICHSSACHE on its documents, but the statistics contained in the document bore little relation either to each other or to reality. Moreover one would assume that the R.S.H.A. would have possessed at least one typewriter furnished with the special SS-runes key used by all the other S.S. offices; yet the document manifested no such runes.*
There is further evidence of skulduggery in the documents collected by Kempner’s office on the Final Solution. The Nuremberg document experts routinely produced ‘staff evidence analysis sheets’ on the documents that came into their hands, indicating where they were found, and which individuals were mentioned or incriminated by them.
The sheet on document 4055–PS, a photostat of parts of the German ministry of the interior file on the Final Solution, shows that when first analysed by the experts it contained four important items relating to discussions on definitions of Jews; one of these four documents,
originating in the spring of 1942, showed Staatssekretär Franz Schlegelberger informing his staff at the justice ministry that Dr Hans Lammers, chief of the Reich chancellery, had phoned to inform him that the Führer, Adolf Hitler, had ‘repeatedly’ ordered the solution of
the Jewish problem ‘postponed until after the war was over.’ This did not suit Kempner at all, and when the file was returned to the document centre this particular photostat was missing.
Another high-ranking Nazi, Dr Wilhelm Stuckart, would later succeed in turning the tables on Kempner: hinting in 1947 that he had incriminating evidence against him, a pre-war document stored safely away, he would bring Kempner, who was by then prosecuting in his own right at the subsequent war crimes proceedings, to his knees.
Stuckart, it must be stated, had attended the Wannsee Conference in his capacity as Staatssekretär in the ministry of the interior. Nonetheless, when he was indicted in the ‘Wilhelmstrasse trial,’ Stuckart boasted to his fellow inmates at Nuremberg that he was going to walk – and
walk he did, sentenced to the time already served ‘in view of his failing health.’ Two years after the trial, Allen Dulles would reveal to the Jacksons that Kempner, by now working for some far-left group in Germany, was trying to extort information from various Germans in an attempt to blackmail both him and his brother John Foster Dulles,
the secretary of state; in exchange for such ‘testimony’ Kempner had released a certain war criminal suspect, said Dulles. Allen Dulles was by then chief of the new C.I.A.
