Ribbentrop married Anneliesefor money, and nursed his elderly aunt with the desire for the title of aristocracy ... is the words of the propaganda minister Goebbels but to some extent it may have been true. It is also true that Ribbentrop was somewhat ambitious, but Ribbentrop succeeded in the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, concluded a German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, and succeeded in taking pro-Japanese policy against traditional pro-Chinese policy by conservative career diplomats of Germany and using Japan for the Soviet-British policy to some extent even though pro-China was commonplace. These accomplishments of Ribbentrop’s have to be evaluated separately from that. It must have been an encounter with Hitler that Ribbentlop and his wife Anneliese took such an irreversible step as deportations of Jews. Why was Hitler so attracted to people? Among this work, I mentioned this with the words of Henderson, the British ambassador to Germany, but no one seems to give a clear answer.
