Martin Franz Julius Luther (German: [ˈmaʁtiːn ˈlʊtɐ] ⓘ, 16 December 1895 – 13 May 1945) was a German diplomat. An early member of the Nazi Party, he served as an advisor to Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, first in the Dienststelle Ribbentrop ('Ribbentrop Bureau'), and later in the Auswärtiges Amt ('Foreign Office') as a diplomat when von Ribbentrop replaced Konstantin von Neurath. He participated in the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the genocidal Final Solution to the Jewish Question was planned; it was the 1947 discovery of his copy of the minutes that first made the Allied powers aware that the conference had taken place and what its purpose was.
