Ulrich Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim von Ribbentrop(German Ulrich Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim von Ribbentrop , April 30 ( 18930430 ) , Wesel - October 16, Nuremberg) - German Foreign Minister (1938-1945), adviser to Adolf Hitler on foreign policy.

Biography

Born in the city of Wesel in Rhenish Prussia in the family of officer Richard Ulrich Friedrich Joachim Ribbentrop. In 1910 Ribbentrop moved to Canada where he set up a company to import wine from Germany.

In November 1939, Ribbentrop strongly opposed Heydrich's plan to steal two British intelligence officers from the Netherlands, but Hitler defended the SD so fiercely that Ribbentrop had to give in:

Yes, yes, my Führer, I immediately held the same opinion, but with these bureaucrats and lawyers in the Foreign Office, it’s just a disaster: they are too slow-witted.

It was only in January 1941 that the government managed to find Himmler, after the SD independently tried to overthrow the Romanian dictator Antonescu (the mutiny of the Iron Guard). On January 22, when the situation became critical, Antonescu sent an inquiry to the German embassy to find out if he still enjoyed Hitler's confidence. Ribbentrop replied immediately:

Yes, Antonescu must act as he sees fit and expedient. The Fuhrer advises him to deal with the legionnaires in the same way as he once treated the Ryom putschists.

Antonescu defeated the putschists and began to pursue them. But then the SD intervened, hiding the leadership of the Iron Guard and secretly taking it abroad.

Upon learning of this, Ribbentrop immediately reported to Hitler, presenting what had happened as a monstrous SD conspiracy against the official foreign policy of the Third Reich. After all, the representative of the SD in Romania was the instigator of the putsch, and the head of the Romanian group of Germans Andreas Schmidt, appointed to this position by the head of the center for work with the Volksdeutsche, SS Obergruppenführer Lorenz, sheltered the putschists. Ribbentrop also did not forget to mention that Schmidt is the son-in-law of Gottlob Berger, head of the SS Main Office. Thus, Hitler got the impression that the top leadership of the SS was involved in the conspiracy.

Taking advantage of the Fuhrer's anger, Ribbentrop began to act. He appointed a new envoy to Romania, who immediately sent a police attache to Germany, who spent several months in the dungeons of the Gestapo on his return. Ribbentrop also began to demand from Heydrich to stop interfering in the affairs of the foreign affairs department. On August 9, 1941, an agreement was reached that the official correspondence of the police attachés would go through the ambassador. And in the future, Ribbentrop tried to hurt Himmler for any reason. So, having learned about Himmler's intention to visit Italy, he said that the visits of the top leadership are carried out only in agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Representatives of the SA who survived the "Night of the Long Knives" were appointed ambassadors to the countries of South-Eastern Europe. And Ribbentrop told the SS Gruppenfuehrer Werner Best, who had transferred to the diplomatic service from the SD, that now Best obeys only him, and not Himmler.

By the spring of 1945, Ribbentrop had lost all confidence in Hitler. In accordance with the "Political testament of Adolf Hitler" in the new government of Germany, the post of Reich Minister of Foreign Affairs was to be taken by Arthur Seyss-Inquart, but he himself refused this position, which he announced at a personal meeting with the new Reich President of Germany, Karl Dönitz. The new Reich Chancellor Lütz Schwerin-Krosig became the new Reich Foreign Minister concurrently.
On June 14, 1945, he was arrested by American troops in Hamburg. Then he was handed over to the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, on October 1, 1946 he was sentenced to death and hanged on October 16, 1946 in the Nuremberg prison.

Death

Joachim von Ribbentrop was executed by hanging on October 16, 1946 by the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal.

Ribbentrop's last words on the scaffold were:

Notes

Excerpt characterizing Ribbentrop, Joachim von

- Natasha, you are 16 years old, I was married at your age. You say that Borya is nice. He is very sweet and I love him like a son, but what do you want?… What do you think? You completely turned his head, I can see it ...
Saying this, the Countess looked back at her daughter. Natasha lay, looking straight ahead and motionless at one of the mahogany sphinxes carved on the corners of the bed, so that the countess could only see her daughter's face in profile. This face struck the countess with its peculiarity of a serious and concentrated expression.
Natasha listened and thought.
- Well, so what? - she said.
- You turned his head completely, why? What do you want from him? You know you can't marry him.
- From what? - without changing the position, said Natasha.
“Because he’s young, because he’s poor, because he’s kindred… because you don’t love him yourself.”
– Why do you know?
- I know. This is not good, my friend.
“And if I want ...” said Natasha.
“Stop talking nonsense,” said the Countess.
- And if I want ...
Natasha, I'm serious...
Natasha didn’t let her finish, pulled the countess’s big hand to her and kissed her from above, then on the palm, then turned again and began to kiss her on the bone of the upper joint of the finger, then in the gap, then again on the bone, saying in a whisper: “January, February , March April May".
- Speak, mother, why are you silent? Speak, - she said, looking back at her mother, who looked at her daughter with a tender look and because of this contemplation, it seemed that she forgot everything she wanted to say.
“That won’t do, my soul. Not everyone will understand your childhood connection, and seeing him so close to you can harm you in the eyes of other young people who travel to us, and, most importantly, torment him in vain. He may have found himself a party of his own, rich; and now he's going crazy.
- Coming down? Natasha repeated.
- I'll tell you about myself. I had one cousin...
- I know - Kirilla Matveich, but is he an old man?
“There was not always an old man. But here's the thing, Natasha, I'll talk to Borey. He doesn't have to travel so often...
“Why not, if he wants to?”
“Because I know it won’t end.”
- Why do you know? No, mom, you don't tell him. What nonsense! - Natasha said in the tone of a person from whom they want to take away his property.
- Well, I won’t get married, so let him go, if he’s having fun and I’m having fun. Natasha looked at her mother smiling.
“Not married, but like this,” she repeated.
- How is it, my friend?
- Yes, it is. Well, it’s very necessary that I won’t get married, but ... so.
“So, so,” repeated the countess, and, shaking with her whole body, she laughed a kind, unexpected old woman’s laugh.
- Stop laughing, stop it, - Natasha shouted, - you are shaking the whole bed. You look terribly like me, the same laughter ... Wait a minute ... - She grabbed both hands of the countess, kissed the bone of the little finger on one - June, and continued to kiss July, August on the other hand. - Mom, is he very in love? How about your eyes? Were you so in love? And very nice, very, very nice! Only not quite to my taste - it is narrow, like a dining room clock ... Don't you understand? ... Narrow, you know, gray, light ...
– What are you lying about! said the Countess.
Natasha continued:
- Do you really not understand? Nikolenka would understand... Earless - that blue, dark blue with red, and it is quadrangular.
“You flirt with him, too,” said the countess, laughing.
“No, he is a Freemason, I found out. He is nice, dark blue with red, how do you explain ...
“Countess,” came the voice of the count from behind the door. - Are you awake? - Natasha jumped up barefoot, grabbed her shoes in her hands and ran into her room.
She couldn't sleep for a long time. She kept thinking about the fact that no one can understand everything that she understands and what is in her.
"Sonya?" she thought, looking at the sleeping, curled-up kitty with her huge braid. “No, where is she! She is virtuous. She fell in love with Nikolenka and doesn't want to know anything else. Mom doesn't understand. It's amazing how smart I am and how ... she's sweet," she continued, speaking to herself in the third person and imagining that some very smart, smartest and best man was talking about her ... "Everything, everything is in her , - continued this man, - she is unusually smart, sweet and then good, unusually good, dexterous - she swims, she rides excellently, and her voice! You can say, an amazing voice! She sang her favorite musical phrase from the Kherubinian opera, threw herself on the bed, laughed at the joyful thought that she was about to fall asleep, shouted to Dunyasha to put out the candle, and before Dunyasha had time to leave the room, she had already passed into another, even happier world of dreams. , where everything was just as easy and beautiful as in reality, but it was only better because it was different.

The next day, the countess, having invited Boris to her place, had a talk with him, and from that day he stopped visiting the Rostovs.

On the 31st of December, on the eve of the new year 1810, le reveillon [night dinner], there was a ball at the Catherine's nobleman. The ball was supposed to be the diplomatic corps and the sovereign.
On the Promenade des Anglais, the famous house of a nobleman shone with countless lights of illumination. At the illuminated entrance with red cloth stood the police, and not only the gendarmes, but the police chief at the entrance and dozens of police officers. The carriages drove off, and new ones kept coming up with red footmen and with footmen in feathers on their hats. Men in uniforms, stars and ribbons came out of the carriages; ladies in satin and ermine carefully descended the noisily laid steps, and hurriedly and soundlessly passed along the cloth of the entrance.
Almost every time a new carriage drove up, a whisper ran through the crowd and hats were taken off.
- Sovereign? ... No, minister ... prince ... envoy ... Can't you see the feathers? ... - said from the crowd. One of the crowd, dressed better than the others, seemed to know everyone, and called by name the noblest nobles of that time.
One-third of the guests had already arrived at this ball, and the Rostovs, who were supposed to be at this ball, were still hastily preparing to dress.
There were many rumors and preparations for this ball in the Rostov family, many fears that the invitation would not be received, the dress would not be ready, and everything would not work out as it should.
Together with the Rostovs, Marya Ignatievna Peronskaya, a friend and relative of the countess, a thin and yellow maid of honor of the old court, who led the provincial Rostovs in the highest St. Petersburg society, went to the ball.
At 10 pm, the Rostovs were supposed to call for the maid of honor to the Tauride Garden; and meanwhile it was already five minutes to ten, and the young ladies were still not dressed.
Natasha was going to the first big ball in her life. She got up that day at 8 o'clock in the morning and was in feverish anxiety and activity all day long. All her strength, from the very morning, was focused on ensuring that they all: she, mother, Sonya were dressed in the best possible way. Sonya and the countess vouched for her completely. The countess was supposed to be wearing a masaka velvet dress, they were wearing two white smoky dresses on pink, silk covers with roses in the corsage. The hair had to be combed a la grecque [Greek].
Everything essential had already been done: the legs, arms, neck, ears were already especially carefully, according to the ballroom, washed, perfumed and powdered; shod already were silk, fishnet stockings and white satin shoes with bows; the hair was almost finished. Sonya finished dressing, the countess too; but Natasha, who worked for everyone, fell behind. She was still sitting in front of the mirror in a peignoir draped over her thin shoulders. Sonya, already dressed, stood in the middle of the room and, pressing painfully with her little finger, pinned the last ribbon that squealed under the pin.
“Not like that, not like that, Sonya,” said Natasha, turning her head from her hairdo and grabbing her hair with her hands, which the maid who held them did not have time to let go. - Not so bow, come here. Sonya sat down. Natasha cut the ribbon differently.
“Excuse me, young lady, you can’t do that,” said the maid holding Natasha’s hair.
- Oh, my God, well after! That's it, Sonya.
- Are you coming soon? - I heard the voice of the countess, - it's already ten now.
- Now. - Are you ready, mom?
- Just pin the current.
“Don’t do it without me,” Natasha shouted: “you won’t be able to!”
- Yeah, ten.
It was decided to be at the ball at half past ten, and Natasha still had to get dressed and stop by the Tauride Garden.
Having finished her hair, Natasha, in a short skirt, from under which ballroom shoes were visible, and in her mother's blouse, ran up to Sonya, examined her and then ran to her mother. Turning her head, she pinned the current, and, barely having time to kiss her gray hair, she again ran to the girls who were hemming her skirt.
The case was behind Natasha's skirt, which was too long; it was hemmed by two girls, hastily biting the threads. A third, with pins in her lips and teeth, ran from the countess to Sonya; the fourth held the entire smoky dress on a high hand.
- Mavrusha, rather, dove!
- Give me a thimble from there, young lady.
– Will it be soon? - said the count, entering from behind the door. “Here are the spirits. Peronskaya was already waiting.
“It’s ready, young lady,” said the maid, lifting a hemmed smoky dress with two fingers and blowing and shaking something, expressing with this gesture the awareness of the airiness and purity of what she was holding.
Natasha began to put on a dress.
“Now, now, don’t go, papa,” she shouted to her father, who opened the door, still from under the haze of a skirt that covered her entire face. Sonya closed the door. A minute later, the count was let in. He was in a blue tailcoat, stockings and shoes, perfumed and pomaded.
- Oh, dad, you're so good, lovely! - said Natasha, standing in the middle of the room and straightening the folds of smoke.
“Excuse me, young lady, excuse me,” the girl said, kneeling, pulling at her dress and turning the pins from one side of her mouth to the other.
- Your will! - Sonya cried out with despair in her voice, looking at Natasha's dress, - your will, again long!
Natasha stepped aside to look around in the dressing-glass. The dress was long.
“By God, madam, nothing is long,” said Mavrusha, who was crawling along the floor after the young lady.
“Well, it’s a long time, so we’ll sweep it, we’ll sweep it in a minute,” said the resolute Dunyasha, taking out a needle from a handkerchief on her chest and again set to work on the floor.
At that moment, shyly, with quiet steps, the countess entered in her toque and velvet dress.
- Wow! my beauty! shouted the Count, “better than all of you!” He wanted to hug her, but she pulled away, blushing, so as not to cringe.
“Mom, more on the side of the current,” Natasha said. - I'll cut it, and rushed forward, and the girls who were hemming, who did not have time to rush after her, tore off a piece of smoke.
- My God! What is it? I don't blame her...
“Nothing, I notice, you won’t see anything,” said Dunyasha.
- Beauty, my darling! - said the nanny who came in from behind the door. - And Sonyushka, well, beauties! ...
At a quarter past eleven we finally got into the carriages and drove off. But still it was necessary to stop by the Tauride Garden.
Peronskaya was already ready. Despite her old age and ugliness, she had exactly the same thing as the Rostovs, although not with such haste (for her it was a habitual thing), but her old, ugly body was also perfumed, washed, powdered, also carefully washed behind the ears , and even, and just like at the Rostovs, the old maid enthusiastically admired the outfit of her mistress when she went into the living room in a yellow dress with a cipher. Peronskaya praised the Rostovs' toilets.
The Rostovs praised her taste and dress, and, taking care of their hair and dresses, at eleven o'clock they got into the carriages and drove off.

Natasha had not had a moment of freedom since the morning of that day, and had never had time to think about what lay ahead of her.

(Ribbentrop), (1893-1946), Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany, Hitler's foreign policy adviser. Born April 30, 1893 in Wessel in the family of an officer. He studied in Kassel and Metz, then worked in England, the USA and Canada as a commercial representative of a small export-import wine trade enterprise. This gave him a certain outlook, life experience and excellent knowledge of French and English, which the Fuhrer later highly appreciated in him. With the outbreak of World War I, Ribbentrop returned to Germany and volunteered for a hussar regiment. He participated in the battles on the Eastern Front, was wounded, was awarded the Iron Cross of the 1st degree and rose to the rank of Oberleutnant. In 1915, Ribbentrop was sent to work in the German military mission in Turkey. After the end of the 1st World War, he engaged in commercial activities. Marriage with the daughter of the largest German champagne producer Otto Henkel opened up wide prospects for him. By 1925 Ribbentrop was already a successful businessman. Industrialists, politicians, journalists and cultural figures willingly visited his luxurious Berlin mansion. Since 1930, Hitler, Goering, Himmler and other Nazi leaders have become frequent guests in the Ribbentrop house. Ribbentrop played an extremely important role in bringing the Nazis to power. Negotiations were held in his house on the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor between the leaders of the NSDAP on the one hand and representatives of President Hindenburg and the right-wing bourgeois parties on the other.

Joachim von Ribbentrop
May 1, 1932 Ribbentrop joined the NSDAP and received the title of SS Standartenführer. Although the vain and arrogant Ribbentrop irritated many Nazi leaders, Hitler, who favored him, put him at the head of a specially created foreign policy body of the NSDAP - the so-called. "Ribbentrop, Bureau", designed to operate in parallel with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The bureau was gradually filled with people from the SS, and Ribbentrop himself, who was close friends with Himmler, soon received the high rank of SS Obergruppenführer (general). In the autumn of 1934, the Fuhrer instructed Ribbentrop to pave the way for close German-Japanese cooperation, conferring on him the rank of "plenipotentiary for foreign affairs at the headquarters of Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess" and "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Third Reich." He was instructed to negotiate and sign the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935. On August 11, 1936, Ribbentrop was appointed German Ambassador to Great Britain, and on February 4, 1938, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich. Since that time, he played an important role in the implementation of Hitler's aggressive plans. On August 23, 1939, Ribbentrop went to Moscow, where he signed the 1939 Non-Aggression Treaty between Germany and the USSR with Soviet Foreign Minister V. Molotov, which essentially predetermined the start of World War II. There was not a single action in the preparation and promotion of which, by means of diplomacy, Ribbentrop would not take part. The Anschluss of Austria, the occupation of Czechoslovakia, the attack on Poland, the occupation of Denmark and Norway, Belgium and Holland, the defeat of France, the attack on Yugoslavia and Greece, the forging of aggressive blocs, the economic robbery of the occupied countries - the measure of Ribbentrop's personal responsibility for all these crimes was enormous. A gloomy role was played by the department headed by him in the extermination of Jews in the territories of the countries occupied by Germany. In particular, in the spring of 1943, Ribbentrop insistently demanded that the Hungarian regent Horthy "complete" the anti-Jewish measures in Hungary. "The Jews must be exterminated or sent to concentration camps - there is no other option," Ribbentrop emphasized. Concerning the fate of the British and American pilots shot down in the skies of Germany, Ribbentrop categorically insisted that all of them be lynched on the spot.

Von Ribbentrop, Chamberlain and Hitler during the Munich Conference
In April 1945, Ribbentrop managed to escape. He went to Hamburg, where, under the noses of the British military commandant's office, he rented a room in an unremarkable house. However, on June 14, 1945, he was arrested by the British occupation authorities and brought before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. While in prison, Ribbentrop declared: "If Hitler appeared in this cell and told me" act! ", I, like everyone I know, would still act." The court found Ribbentrop guilty on all 4 counts, including conspiracy to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity, and sentenced him to death. He was hanged on the morning of October 16, 1946.

Joachim von Ribbentrop (German Ulrich Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim von Ribbentrop, April 30, 1893, Wesel - October 16, 1946, Nuremberg) - German Foreign Minister (1938-1945), adviser to Adolf Hitler on foreign policy.

Born in the city of Wesel in Rhenish Prussia in the family of officer Richard Ulrich Friedrich Joachim Ribbentrop. In 1910, Ribbentrop moved to Canada, where he set up a company to import wine from Germany.

During the First World War, he returned to Germany to take part in the hostilities: in the fall of 1914 he joined the 125th Hussars.

In the war, Ribbentrop rose to the rank of senior lieutenant and was awarded the Iron Cross. He served on the Eastern and then on the Western Front. In 1918 Ribbentrop was sent to Constantinople (modern Istanbul, Turkey) as an officer of the General Staff.

He met Hitler and Himmler at the end of 1932, when he provided him with his villa for secret negotiations with von Papen.

Himmler impressed Ribbentrop with his refined manners at the table so much that he soon joined the NSDAP, and later the SS. On May 30, 1933, Ribbentrop was awarded the title of SS Standartenführer, and Himmler became a frequent visitor to his villa.

On the instructions of Hitler, with the active assistance of Himmler, who helped with funds and personnel, he created a bureau called the Ribbentrop Service, whose task was to spy on unreliable diplomats.

In February 1938 he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. On this occasion, as an exception, he received the Order of the German Eagle.

Immediately after the appointment, he achieved the admission of all employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the SS. He himself often appeared at work in the uniform of an SS Gruppenfuehrer. Ribbentrop took only SS men as adjutants, and sent his son to serve in the SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler.

But after a while, relations between Ribbentrop and Himmler deteriorated. The reason for this was the gross interference of Himmler and his subordinates (primarily Heydrich) in the affairs of the foreign affairs department, and they acted very amateurishly. And Ribbentrop was already furious when he noticed one of his subordinates in SS uniform.

The strife intensified even more after Ribbentrop caught the SD officers, who worked in the embassies as police attachés, of using diplomatic mail channels to send denunciations against embassy employees.

In November 1939, Ribbentrop strongly opposed Heydrich's plan to steal two British intelligence officers from the Netherlands, but Hitler defended the SD so fiercely that Ribbentrop had to give in.

It was only in January 1941, after the SD attempted to overthrow the Romanian dictator Antonescu, that they managed to find a government against Himmler. On January 22, when the situation became critical, Antonescu sent an inquiry to the German embassy to find out if he still enjoyed Hitler's confidence.

Antonescu defeated the putschists and began to pursue them. But then the SD intervened, hiding the leadership of the Iron Guard and secretly taking it abroad.

Upon learning of this, Ribbentrop immediately reported to Hitler, presenting what had happened as a monstrous conspiracy by the SD against the official foreign policy of the Third Reich.

After all, the representative of the SD in Romania was the instigator of the putsch, and the head of the Romanian group of Germans, Andreas Schmidt, appointed to this position by the head of the center for work with the Volksdeutsche, SS Obergruppenführer Lorenz, sheltered the putschists.

Ribbentrop also did not forget to mention that Schmidt is the son-in-law of Gottlob Berger, head of the SS Main Office. Thus, Hitler got the impression that the top leadership of the SS was involved in the conspiracy.

Taking advantage of the Fuhrer's anger, Ribbentrop began to act. He appointed a new envoy to Romania, who immediately sent a police attache to Germany, who spent several months on his return in the dungeons of the Gestapo.

Ribbentrop also began to demand from Heydrich to stop interfering in the affairs of the foreign affairs department. On August 9, 1941, an agreement was reached that the official correspondence of the police attaches went through the ambassador.

And in the future, Ribbentrop tried to hurt Himmler for any reason. So, having learned about Himmler's intention to visit Italy, he said that the visits of the top leadership are carried out only in agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Representatives of the SA who survived the Night of the Long Knives were appointed ambassadors in the countries of South-Eastern Europe. And Ribbentrop told SS Gruppenfuehrer Werner Best, who had transferred to the diplomatic service from the SD, that now Best obeys only him, and not Himmler.

Joachim von Ribbentrop was executed by hanging on October 16, 1946 by the Nuremberg Tribunal.
