"Ribbentrop married his wife (Anneriese) for money, nursed his aunt for the title of aristocrat (Von), and approached Hitler for the position of foreign minister" is the words of Propaganda Minister Goebbels. You have to take into account that he was also Ribbentrop’s rival,but to a certain extent, it will be a proper depiction of the ambitious or carrier-oriented Ribbentrop. Regardless of the former two, other Nazis executives such as field marshal,minister ,governor-general,or something, are just employed or utilized by Hitler in order to promote respective policies.In Nazi Germany, ministers, generals, ministers, and governors are only Hitler's subordinates, so if Hitler doesn't like them, they will be abandoned immediately. In order to be liked, they will have to contribute to Hitler's conquest of Europe or realization of Europe without Jews. The former became impossible due to the failure of the occupation of Moscow and the entry of the United States in the war, so they were complicit in the genocide of Jews. Ribbentrop’s performance as a foreign minister comes to an end with the entry of the United States toward the end of 1941, but it was the Japan-Germany-Italy Tripartite Alliance that led to it. The failure to secure air superiority in the war against the United Kingdom until the conclusion of the treaty on this day, the postponement of landing on the British mainland, and the 6,000-kilometer diplomatical trip with Hitler after the conclusion of the pact were all intended to make Britain somehow give in. On the other hand, Japan wanted to use this treaty against the United States, but here it was also assumed that Britain surrendered. In addition, both Ribbentrop and Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka wanted the pact to be a deterrent to the U.S. participation in the war by adding the Soviet Union to the Japan-German-Italy Tripartite Alliance. In order to surrender Britain, Hitler decided in November 1940 to attack the Soviet Union. This is similar to Napoleon's abandonment of landing on the British mainland due to the Battle of Trafalgar and tried to tighten up Britain with the continental blockade policy, but on the contrary, France and continental countries suffered much more, so it resulted in the expedition to Russia, which led to the fall of Napoleon. It was ironic that Japan's military or cultural exchange between Japan and Germany was the most prosperous partly because of the extension of the festive mood of the 2600th year of the Imperial era in Japan until the outbreak of the German-Soviet war.
