Joachim von Ribbentrop quotes
Joachim von Ribbentrop was a German diplomat and politician who served as Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany. As a close associate of Adolf Hitler, he played a key role in shaping German foreign policy before and during World War II. He was convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials and executed. Here are 12 of his quotes:
I think the only way one can arrive at an understanding of his anti-Semitism growing all the time is because in America your Mr. Roosevelt had his brain trust which was made up of so many Jews, Felix Frankfurter, Claude Pepper - was it Pepper? I can't recall the other names. Oh yes, Morgenthau. It made Hitler feel more and more that an international conspiracy had caused the war, with the Jews behind it.
Joachim von Ribbentrop
That man always made it a point to speak German, although he spoke English well enough. That was because he imitated Hitler to the last degree. He would say that his reason for speaking German instead of English during conferences with English-speaking representatives was that he wanted to concentrate on the subject in hand, and not on the language. Ribbentrop was a complete imitator of Hitler - even to the design of his cap. Originally he had a nice cap, but then he imitated the stationmaster type of cap preferred by Hitler.
