He refused to accept any payment for his activities because of his dislike for the Nazi regime. He was cold shouldered by successive post-war German governments as someone who had betrayed Germany until publication of the original documents by the CIA in 2000 forced a review and his eventual official recognition. On September 9th, 2004 a conference room in the German foreign ministry was named after him by German foreign minister Joschka Fischer.
