The claim departs from the passage only in its role description: the sources do not describe Rademacher as a Balkans liaison.
What was said
… categorically implicating the party apparatus and its security apparatus, while largely exonerating purely military change of command and the men who were so availed to those authorities. So it, on its face, it's, it's contradictory, um, you know, and, uh, Franz Rockemacher, who, again, he was the he was the Reich Foreign Ministry liaison in the Balkans, he was regularly subordinate to the chief diplomat in theater, Martin Luther, who, in turn, was really subordinate to Jachim von Ribbentrop, who was, you know, executed in Nuremberg, but he was a civilian, you know. …
The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Sources report that in 1941 Rademacher travelled to Belgrade/Serbia on Foreign Ministry business connected to the murder of Jews, showing a Balkans link to his work.[1][2][3][4]
Context. Multiple sources identify Franz Rademacher as a Foreign Ministry official and head of the Jewish desk (Judenreferat, D III) from 1940 to 1943, not as a Balkans liaison.[4][5][6]
Context. No source uses the words 'liaison' or describes a Balkans liaison post for Rademacher, so the specific title in the claim is not addressed by the evidence.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
