In July 1935, Brigadier Sir Francis Featherstone-Godley led the British Legion's delegation to Germany. [89] Of the two references, General Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg, the German military attach in London, commented that Ribbentrop had been a brave soldier in World War I, and the wife of the Italian Ambassador to Germany, Elisabetta Cerruti, called Ribbentrop "one of the most diverting of the Nazis". [151] The German embassy in Ankara had been vacant ever since the retirement of the previous ambassador Friedrich von Keller in November 1938, and Ribbentrop was able to get the Turks to accept Papen as ambassador only when Saracolu complained to Kroll in April 1939 about when the Germans were ever going to send a new ambassador. Six months later, however, Hitler and Papen accepted his help. Ulrich Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim von Ribbentrop [1] ( German: [joaxm fn rbntrp]; 30 April 1893 - 16 October 1946) was a German politician and diplomat who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nazi Germany from 1938 to 1945. [25], Ribbentrop was not popular with the Nazi Party's Alte Kmpfer (Old Fighters); they nearly all disliked him. [40], On 17 April 1934, French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou issued the so-called "Barthou note", which led to concerns on the part of Hitler that the French would ask for sanctions against Germany for violating Part V of the Versailles treaty. Mr. von Ribbentrop handed himself over to American troops south of the Danube River and was sent to a succession of prisons and camps for three years before being released from a French military prison in 1948. Joachim von Ribbentrop was a German diplomat, foreign minister under the Nazi regime, and chief negotiator of the treaties with which Germany entered World War II.

[237] Hitler did not wish for any information that might lead the Japanese into attacking the Soviet Union to reach their ears. [56] However, there was a difference between Ribbentrop and Hitler: Ribbentrop sincerely wished to recover the former German colonies, but for Hitler, colonial demands were just a negotiating tactic. He was also involved in Operation Willi, an attempt to convince the former King Edward VIII to lobby his brother, now the king, on behalf of Germany. Because most of the world was at war with Germany, the Foreign Ministry's importance diminished as the value of diplomacy became limited. [40] At the same time, the Germans always resisted making concrete arms-limitations proposals, and they went ahead with increased military spending on grounds that other powers would not take up German arms-limitation offers. [124] This was significant as there had been many fears in the Soviet Union in the 1930s that the Germans would use Ukrainian nationalism as a tool to break up the Soviet Union. [168] At the same time, British policymakers were afraid that if Hitler were "contained" and faced with a collapsing economy, he would commit a desperate "mad dog act" of aggression as a way of lashing out. [28] Ribbentrop was among the few who could meet with Hitler at any time without an appointment, however, unlike Goebbels or Gring. Ribbentrop first came to Adolf Hitler's notice as a well-travelled businessman with more knowledge of the outside world than most senior Nazis and as a perceived authority on foreign affairs. [12][13], When the First World War began later in 1914, Ribbentrop left Canada, which as part of the British Empire was at war with Germany, and found temporary sanctuary in neutral United States. Ambassador Henderson, who had long advocated concessions to Germany, recognized that here was a deliberately conceived alibi the German government had prepared for a war it was determined to start.

[172] The German refusal either to deliver the artillery pieces or refund the 125 million Reichsmarks that the Turks had paid for them was to be a major strain on German-Turkish relations in 1939 and had the effect of causing Turkey's politically powerful army to resist Ribbentrop's entreaties to join the Axis. [92] In the first report to Hitler, which was presented on 2 January 1938, Ribbentrop stated that "England is our most dangerous enemy".

He had called every two hours, but was told the Minister was away from the city. [37] In October 1933, German Foreign Minister Baron Konstantin von Neurath presented a note at the World Disarmament Conference announcing that it was unfair that Germany should remain disarmed by Part V of the Versailles treaty and demanded for the other powers to disarm to Germany's level or to rescind Part V and allow Germany Gleichberechtigung ("equality of armaments"). [59][60] Neurath very much believed in maintaining Germany's good relations with China and mistrusted the Empire of Japan.

During the course of all three periods, Ribbentrop met frequently with leaders and diplomats from Italy, Japan, Romania, Spain, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Shut your mouth!" [233] Ribbentrop's efforts to persuade Molotov to abandon his demands about Europe as the price of a Soviet alliance with Germany were entirely unsuccessful. Adolf von Ribbentrop is still alive.
