Autographed Portrait of Joachim von Ribbentrop
Large autographed portrait of German diplomat Joachim von Ribbentrop, encased in a dedicated silver frame adorned by a Reichsadler. Ribbentrop was a high-ranking German official who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nazi Germany from 1938 to 1945. He is credited for several significant diplomatic breakthroughs that shaped the course of the Second World War, including the formation of the Pact of Steel with Italy, Tripartite Pact with Japan and the eponymous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with the Soviet Union.
Despite his storied career as the Third Reich’s foremost diplomat, Ribbentrop was perceived by many foreign dignitaries as untactful, untrustworthy and arrogant, lacking in the diplomatic finesse expected of his post. Ribbentrop’s influence diminished as the war progressed, with diplomatic overtures rendered obsolete given most of the world war at war with Germany. His foreign ministry insisted on securing peace with some Germany’s enemies, much to Hitler’s dismay, leading him to be further sidelined.
On June 14th, 1945, Ribbentrop was apprehended by Allied troops in Hamburg. During his captivity, he was recorded to have an IQ of 129 by American Army psychologist Gustave Gilbert.
