He was a well know anti-britisher, so he thought he didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of anything really, I think he was generally acting petulantly.
I recently read “Nuremberg interviews” and the guy interviewing v. Ribbentrop said he “spoke excellent English with a slight British accent, sometimes is stumped on vocabulary, but only when the German word he wishes to use is apparently more apropos for the idea than the English equivalent” this to me makes sense in the context of his testimony in German as he would not have to think about words and their context in English, and speaking German is natural and therefore more fluid and free flowing.
I mean... Ribbentrop was certainly no innocent or saint. There's a reason why he went into hiding instead of turning himself in like many of the others. But he's definitely one who should've gone to jail instead of being hung. I think it was because he was complicit in much of the art theft and knew about the conditions in concentration camps and did nothing that he got so screwed. Also the USSR wanted his blood. Guess that's why you don't put your name on a non-aggression treaty that then gets broken.
@@planescaped Adolf Eichmann (Who is a completely different character who had been involved in far more) had managed to escape all the way to Argentina for fear of an unjust trial. When the Israeli government abducted him he even requested many times for a fair trial in Germany, by the German court, which had declined the request because they didn't care. But that's an argument for a different time. Some can accuse Ribbentrop of some crimes, and some can call him an innocent man, but I don't think anybody truly knowns anymore.
@@dwayneobamna8785 According to the judgment, Ribbentrop was actively involved in planning the Anschluss(annexation of Austria), as well as the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland. He was also deeply involved in the "final solution"; as early as 1942 he had ordered German diplomats in Axis countries to hasten the process of sending Jews to death camps in the east. He supported the lynching of Allied airmen shot down over Germany, and helped to cover up the 1945 murder of Major-General Gustave Mesny, a French officer being held as a prisoner of war. He was held directly responsible for atrocities which took place in Denmark and Vichy France, since the top officials in those two occupied countries reported to him. Ribbentrop claimed Hitler solely made the important decisions, and he had been deceived by Hitler's repeated claims of only wanting peace. The Tribunal rejected this argument, saying that given how closely involved Ribbentrop was with the execution of the war, "he could not have remained unaware of the aggressive nature of Hitler's actions."[272] Even in prison, Ribbentrop remained loyal to Hitler: "Even with all I know, if in this cell Hitler should come to me and say 'do this!', I would still do it."[273]
@@bucklilli9832 As Germany's diplomacy with other nations ended due to war (which ribbentrop had a large part to play as he stirred up Hitler to wrongly think Britain would take no action against an invasion of Poland due to his desire for war- he wrote in his diary 'We want war!' This was used by the prosecution against him), Ribbentrop took on dirty work instead, such as pressurising Hungary, Romania and Italy to surrender their Jews for extermination. This got him conviced under counts 3 and 4. It WAS right he was convicted.

Hitler's little wine salesman. On a strictly interpersonal level, von Ribbentrop was one of the most widely hated individuals in Europe. More of an anti-diplomat than a real one, Hitler admired his bullying arrogance and total lack of diplomatic understanding or skill. Hitler had utter contempt for actual diplomats because he felt they were weak and pointless in the face of raw violence. He wanted his foreign minister to be the Mouth of Sauron, the guy who tells you you're about to die and suggests you beg for his master's mercy. We should all be grateful: there's considerable evidence that if Hitler had sent somebody with actual skill, they might have arranged a British-German non-aggression pact during the run up to the invasion of Poland, when the British were begging the Poles to just give the Germans Danzig so they wouldn't be forced to go to war. That was von Ribbentrop's original mission in England, but he was such a clod all he did was manage to strengthen British resolve.
