German infiltrated white supremacy groups, and was able to prevent a church bombing. If I recall this was in the 80s. The briefing and training materials he submitted to FBI supervisors was rejected. Basically, if they are not accepted as official documents, then they are not official "federal records".
One of German's observations was that as long as the various hate groups keep focusing on their difference, they are not a big threat. If they get over their difference and band together, then they are a very serious threat... this is where we are now.
You might also look at "Thinking Like a Terrorist: Insights of a Former FBI Undercover Agent" by Mike German.
That sounds like a very interesting read - thanks.

Is he still alive, and if so, would he be listened to now?
Too many typos: Just searched his name and Mother Jones did an interview about him a few weeks ago. Journalists are making their way to him.
Thanks for the info! I will go look for the article.
Whoa.
Oh!
