Born in Leipzig, Germany of Peruvian-Jewish descent, he originally pursued an engineering career in Berlin, but in 1927 he joined the German-Jewish showband The Weintraub Syncopators as a musician.
He appeared with them supporting Marlene Dietrich in "The Blue Angel" (1930).
After the Nazi's came to power in 1933, the Syncopators went on a world tour, and were in Sydney when war was declared. 
In a number of entries, Kellner records atrocities being committed by the German soldiers.
On 29 July 1941 he recorded what he learned of the deliberate execution of captured Russian soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camps:The wounded soldiers in the field hospital in Giessen tell the story that Russian prisoners-of-war were also being murdered.
Gruesome bandits.
Are the German people a people of culture?
No!
A cultural people must be able to think as individuals and behave themselves properly.
But the German people have repeatedly allowed themselves to be dictated to by their "infallible" Führer without participating in the slightest degree in their own destiny.
The Führer is always right, the Führer never errs.
The German people have been taken in by this devil.

On 26 October 1941 he wrote: In France two German officers have been shot by unknown murderers, in Nantes and Bordeaux.
In retribution fifty citizens in each of these towns were apprehended and executed.
To let people who are completely innocent suffer for the deed of another reminds us of the terrific deeds of wild beasts in times long gone.
It was General von Stulpnagel's lot to revive one of the most gruesome deeds.
The world will rightfully be upset over so much inhumanity, and a hate will burn that can never be extinguished .

How long will this reign of terror continue?Perhaps the single most important entry in the diary is dated October 28, 1941.
After the war many Germans would insist they knew nothing at all about the Holocaust.
More recently, Holocaust deniers have questioned the extent, and even the existence of the Holocaust.

He watched as naked Jewish men and women were placed in front of a long deep ditch and upon the order of the SS were shot by Ukrainians in the back of their heads and they fell into the ditch.
Then the ditch was filled with dirt even as he could still hear screams coming from people still alive in the ditch.
These inhuman atrocities were so terrible that some of the Ukrainians, who were used as tools, suffered nervous breakdowns.
All the soldiers who had knowledge of these bestial actions of these Nazi sub-humans were of the opinion that the German people should be shaking in their shoes because of the coming retribution.
There is no punishment that would be hard enough to be applied to these Nazi beasts.
Of course, when the retribution comes, the innocent will have to suffer along with them.
But because ninety-nine percent of the German population is guilty, directly or indirectly, for the present situation, we can only say that those who travel together will hang together.

On 5 July 1941 he wrote this:In Giessen, Forester Ritter was arrested because he said the war would last another three years.
Two years ago R. was assassinated because he maintained that the war would last two years.
The truth may not be said. 
After the United States declared war on Germany, the Federal Bureau of Investigation drafted a list of Germans in fifteen Latin American countries it suspected of subversive activities and demanded their eviction to the U.S. for detention.
In response, several countries expelled a total of 4,058 Germans to the U.S.
Some 10% to 15% of them were Nazi party members, including some dozen recruiters for the Nazi's overseas arm and eight people suspected of espionage.
Also among them were 81 Jewish Germans who had only recently fled persecution in Nazi Germany.
The bulk were ordinary Germans, who were residents in these states for years or decades.
Some were expelled because corrupt Latin American officials took the opportunity to seize their property, or ordinary Latin Americans were after the financial reward that U.S. intelligence paid informants.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico did not participate in the U.S. expulsion program. 
The radical Christian pacifist John Middleton Murry, changed his opinions on Christian pacifism in light of the Holocaust.
In his early years as a writer of "The Necessity of Pacifism" (1937) and as editor of the weekly London newspaper, "Peace News", he argued that Nazi Germany, should be allowed retain control of mainland Europe, arguing Nazism was a lesser evil compared to the horrors of a total war.
Later, he recanted his pacifism in 1948 and promoted a preventative war against the Soviet Union.
Vera Brittain was another British Christian pacifist.
She worked as a fire warden and by travelling around the country raising funds for the Peace Pledge Union's food relief campaign.
She was vilified for speaking out against the saturation bombing of German cities through her 1944 booklet "Massacre by Bombing".
Her principled pacifist position was vindicated somewhat when, in 1945, the Nazi's Black Book of 2000 people to be immediately arrested in Britain after a German invasion was shown to include her name.
After the war, Brittain worked for "Peace News" magazine, "writing articles against apartheid and colonialism and in favour of nuclear disarmament" from a Christian perspective. 
The tasks for the Ulbricht Group and the other communist cadre who were to return to Germany were defined at a meeting between Wilhelm Pieck and Georgi Dimitrov held in Moscow on April 25, 1945.
Dimitrov was then a high-level functionary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, working as the assistant division leader of the International Information Division.
They were to prepare the region to accept and follow the instructions of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany so the Nazi government could be dismantled.
The de-nazification process was to convince the people to turn over Nazi war criminals.
The Group was to calm people and assure them that the Red Army would neither destroy nor enslave them, but that the German people had to understand that they bore the responsibility for the Nazi's rise to power, giving force to Hitler's policies and causing the catastrophe.
The communists had tried to warn them of the coming catastrophe and they were now there to help them out of their distress and at the same time, establish a basis for the future of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD).
They were also to seek out anti-fascist individuals who would be willing to work with the new organizations.
The youngest member of the group was 24-year old Wolfgang Leonhard.
The Ulbricht Group left from the Hotel Lux, where they had been living in exile, some for years, and flew from Moscow to Minsk, then to Calau, near Międzyrzecz.
Not all members of the group knew what their assignment was or how long it would last until after they landed.
They landed in an airfield and were met by a Soviet officer, who drove away with Ulbricht.
The rest left by truck for Bruchmühle, about east of Berlin and the offices Marshall Georgy Zhukov, the first commander of the Soviet occupation zone.
The Ulbricht Group began working from there on May 2, 1945, though not much could be done with the city in flames after the Battle of Berlin.
In the evening, Ulbricht met with the group and explained their assignment.
They were to cover all 20 districts in Berlin and begin building local administrations.
In each, they were to seek out as many social democrats as possible, also a civil servant with a Ph.D from each local administration who was willing to work with the Soviets and a cleric to lead a religious advisory council.
Communists were to be installed in each district as assistant administrator, and to head up the departments for personnel and development.
The group worked from Bruchmühle till May 8, after which they moved to the Friedrichsfelde area of Berlin.
On May 6, 1945, Ulbricht gave the Soviet commander of Berlin, Nikolai Berzarin, the first list of suggested names to fill important administrative posts in Berlin.
On May 12, 1945, the district administrators and city councils were appointed from Ulbricht's list without exception.
Paul Markgraf, one of the ten anti-fascist prisoners of war, was appointed the "Berlin Police President", also on Ulbricht's initiative.
In the beginning of June 1945, Ulbricht, Ackerman and Sobottka traveled back to Moscow to give the first reports and get their further instructions.
On June 4, 1945, they met with Pieck, Joseph Stalin and Andrei Zhdanov.
Stalin urged them to found a nation-wide working class party that would remain open for the proletariat, farmers and intellectuals.
He wanted the party to work for a unified Germany and said in his opinion, the West wanted to split the country into partitions, so, according to Pieck, their goal was to " the civil-democratic revolution through a civil-democratic government."
The founding manifesto of the KPD was written by Ackermann.
In it, the new party spoke openly against a sovietization of Germany.
It said the goal was to "continue to its conclusion the civil-democratic transformation begun with the revolutions of 1848" and through land reform, to eliminate the "remnants of feudalism".
The goal the Party named was as the "establishment of an anti-fascist, democratic republic with all democratic rights and freedoms for the people".
With the re-establishment of the KPD on June 11, 1945, the Ulbricht Group reached its first goal.
On July 10, 1945, it moved into the KPD's Central Committee building.
