This could be a big deal... better yet this is a big deal from a historical point of view. If the story is correct and the papers have been authenticated then it is an important piece of history that can help to reveal the last days of the Nazis.
They weren't lost, they were carefully collected and documented by Russian Intelligence "SMERSH" (no not the James Bond version, but the real life Stalin intelligence service version) who accompanied the Red Army, including into Hitler's bunker, and went through everything with a fine tooth comb and then gets filed away and held in secret like everything from that generation.
Or it's so flippin' boring nobody would care. The US, UK, Sovs, and French, IIRC, rotated guarding Spandau. So each got a crack at him. They found nothing of interest. He was a straight-forward nutbar, and none too bright.

Yet they kept the entire prison open.... JUST FOR HIM....
Call me a skeptic.... but it seems they went to extraordinary measures that his story never gets told.
Consider, the only prisoner in an entire prison....
No one to speak share his story with.
Constant rotation of guards and the nations of the guards...
No one to develop a bond with.
Seems like a lot to time, effort and money to keep a "nutbar" confined.
If he were in fact nothing but a "nut"....
Let he walk about freely. let people see what the leadership was really like.
Consider... Hess was captured early in the war..... 1941 to be exact...
Many of his contemporaries were executed.
Some like Reich minister Albert Speer were imprisoned and later released.
Acting Fuhrer Karl Donitz was even released from prison.
Yet this individual was kept in virtual solitary confinement for nearly 46 years.
All I can do is suspect..... suspect he knew something the powers thought was rather important.
No spoilers, please. I'm still reading on WWII and I don't want to know how it ends until I get finished. T/Y
The Russians won.
