It should be noted that the professional diplomats, and not just Ribbentrop's cronies from the Dienststelle, were highly involved in the “ Final Solution ”.
Typical among them was the fiercely anti-Semitic Curt Prufer, who joined the Foreign Office in 1907, served as the German Ambassador to Brazil in 1938 – 1942, and then worked closely with the exiled Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husayni in recruiting Balkan Muslims to kill Jews in 1943.
As an Orientalist who spoke fluent Arabic, Prufer was especially concerned with relations with the Arabs.
Through Prufer loathed the Nazis and Ribbentrop, whom he viewed as an inept bully who was trashing his beloved agency, Prufer's hatred for the Jews was even greater.
But after the war, Prufer rewrote his entire diaries in order to remake himself from an anti-Semitic German ultra-nationalist into a Nazi opponent who was utterly disgusted by Nazi anti-Semitism ; his deception was not exposed until the 1980s by American historian Donald McKale.
