JOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP
1893 - 1946

Joachim von Ribbentrop was a Nazi and Germany's foreign minister from 1933 until 1945. In this capacity, Ribbentrop was very effective. He became Nut Adolf's expert on foreign affairs.

Ribbentrop was a very busy and very important man until the Nazis were done talking with other nations and just shot at them. There was not much demand for Ribbentrop's diplomatic skills after the outbreak of World War II.

Ribbentrop was captured on June 14, 1945, and tried at the Nurnberg Trials. He was hanged on October 16, 1946.
