Eugen Budde was a German diplomat, publicist, author and essayist --(Wikipedia)

Enno Budde was a German judge who joined the Nazis in May 1933, and then quietly survived their demise. No one paid any attention to him after the war until he refused to prosecute a case against a man accused of distributing anti-Semitic propaganda. Then Hamburg's state Parliament realized he had published his own anti-Semitic articles prior to 1945. They quietly moved him to a civil chamber where he toiled in non-embarrassing obscurity until his retirement -- (German Studies in the Post-Holocaust Age: The Politics of Memory, Identity, and Ethnicity by Adrian Del Caro and Janet Ward Janet Ward, Univ Pr of Colorado, January 2003)
