The BRUTAL Execution Of Joachim von Ribbentrop - Hitler's Foreign Minister

Adolf Hitler as soon as he seized power in Germany wanted to take large amount of land across Europe to great a huge German empire, the Third Reich. One of the most important men within Hitler's early Nazi Party was Joachim von Ribbentrop, a man who once was a champagne salesman that became Hitler's Foreign Minister. It was his job to speak with different countries and negotiate alliances and also keep other countries sweet and not at war with Germany. However as the Second World War broke out he had an incredibly important job.

Ribbentrop and Hitler were close initially, and Hitler always had time for his foreign minister. One of the most famous things Ribbentrop did was sign the Nazi Soviet Pact/Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which an agreement was signed dividing Poland between the Germans and the Soviets. Also the agreement guaranteed 10 years of peace between the Nazis and Soviets, but this would not last as Hitler invaded Russia during Operation Barbarossa. As World War 2 continued, Ribbentrop was involved in the Holocaust organising mass-deportations to the concentration camps.

After the Second World War, Joachim von Ribbentrop was arrested and was placed on trial at the Nuremberg Trials. He was accused of all four crimes including waging a war of aggression and he was eventually sentenced to death. He faced the infamous executioner John C Woods first as the other condemned men waited for their executions, however Ribbentrop's execution did not go as planned.
