Joachim von Ribbentrop

Joachim von Ribbentrop (1893-1946) was the German Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1938-1945. A devoted Nazi, Ribbontrop negotiationed with his Soviet counter-part, Vyacheslav Molotov, a non-agression pact between their respective countries in 1939, a pact Germany broke in 1941. After World War II, Ribbentrop was captured by the Allied Forces, tried, and exectuted for war crimes.

Joachim von Ribbentrop in The Man With the Iron Heart
Joachim von Ribbentrop was one of several German officials who was captured by the Allies at the end of World War II. The Allies sought to try Ribbentrop and the other men for war crimes. These plans were stopped twice by the German Freedom Front, first in November, 1945 when the GFF destroyed the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg and second in 1946, when the GFF destroyed the American residency zone with a radium bomb.

Joachim von Ribbentrop in Worldwar
Joachim von Ribbentrop represented Germany at the various Big Five meetings after the Race invaded in 1942. He also appeared on his country's behalf at the Peace of Cairo where he ensured the Race's respect for the German claim to territory it had conquered prior to 1942 and the newly annexed Italy, as well as the survival of Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland as independent not-empires. However, he also jeopardized not just Germany's but all the Big Five's gains by insisting that Poland be ceded to the Greater German Reich, at one point threatening to walk out of the conference and advise Adolf Hitler to resume hostilities if his ultimatum was rejected. He ultimately backed down from this claim when Atvar threatened a total atomic war against any Tosevite not-empire which resumed hostilities against the Race--foreshadowing the Race-German War of 1965. The failure of Otto Skorzeny to detonate an explosive-metal bomb in Lodz, Poland further pushed Hitler, and by extension Ribbentrop, to accept Atvar's terms.

Joachim von Ribbentrop in The War That Came Early
Joachim von Ribbentrop was the German Foreign Minister before and during the European war that began in 1938. As part of his duties, he negotiated an alliance between Germany and Poland against the Soviet Union early in the war, and had to placate the United States after the sinking the SS Athenia. However, all final decisions rested with Adolf Hitler
