# Kurt Detlev Möller

> Kurt Detlev Möller was a German archivist and historian. Towards the end of 1947 his reputation was retrieved from respectable obscurity when it became known that he had been a member of the National Socialist Party between 1937 and 1945. Records were unearthed of a lecture he had delivered in 1939 which had included toxic antisemitic remarks. Detlev Möller's problems were compounded when, following public disclosures about his politically tainted past, critics asserted that in his 1947 treatise "Das letzte Kapitel", which dealt with the history of Hamburg during the final months of the Second World War, he was insufficiently critical of the city's Nazi-era Gauleiter, Karl Kaufmann (1900-1969).
