Products description
On October 16, 1946, the German Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, was sentenced to death by hanging in the Nuremberg trial of the main war criminals for "preparing for a war of aggression". To date, his role in the Third Reich is generally viewed negatively; Even as an ambassador in London, he is said to have advised Hitler that England would not fight in the event of a conflict.
The author, eldest son Joachim von Ribbentrops and employed himself as an officer on all fronts in the Second World War, describes his father from his own experience in this historical work, especially due to the domestic conversations during the 1930s. Why did this very successful merchant Adolf Hitler first make himself available as a special foreign policy representative, then as an ambassador and finally as a minister?
Taking current research results into account, Rudolf von Ribbentrop tries to show that his father's policy was originally aimed at reconciling with the Western powers, and emphatically works out the reasons that led to the Hitler-Stalin Pact and ultimately to the attack on Poland .
The role of prominent representatives of the "resistance" in the Foreign Office, such as the State Secretary von Weizsäcker in 1938/39, is also dealt with in detail.
It is not an uncritical book that the son Joachim von Ribbentrops presents here, and it is not a work that seeks to smooth or gloss over the history of the Third Reich.
You can see in the text that the author, who is now over 90 years old, worked on this work for years, in order to personalize his memories with those known from the files on hand
To put processes and backgrounds in a fruitful tension.
