Catalogue Note
Joachim von Ribbentrop (1893-1946) fut ambassadeur de l'Allemagne dans les années 1920 puis basé en Grande-Bretagne, où son nom fit les choux gras avec celui de Mrs Simpson. En 1938, il fut nommé Ministre des Affaires Etrangères de l'Allemagne, puis fut condamné à mort durant les procès de Nuremberge et exécuté en 1946.
Joachim von Ribbentrop (1893-1946) acted as German Ambassador at large during the mid nineteen-thirties and then as Ambassador to Great Britain where his name was linked, perhaps scurrilously, with that of Mrs Simpson. In 1938 he was appointed German Foreign Minister. He was condemned to death at the Nuremberg trials and executed in 1946.
