Fairly delusional kleptocrats and murderers. Still they might have kept the Islamics out and improved British Rail.
And Obama probably has big vacation plans for his 2nd term in office.
Ribbentrop was an Anglophile and had spent a lot of time in Britain. He served there as ambassador and tried to convince Hitler that Britain could be converted into an ally if allowed to keep their colonies. If Churchill had not been convinced that Roosevelt would rush to his aid, who knows what kind of “deal” they might have made.
After hearing some of von Ribbentrop’s testimony at the Nuremberg Trials, Göring remarked that von Ribbentrop deserved to be hung for stupidity.
More evidence that the Nazis were, in addition to ideological monsters, a group of pretty banal thugs and criminals. Even the allegedly aristocratic von Ribbentrop was fairly crass—planning out which British estate to steal. Whether it was art or land or business opportunities, they spent a huge amount of time doing things like this.
Hard to fault his taste, unless he had Speer redisign the castle and Goering select the artwork.
And, rename it "Michelle's Garden Plot."
Maybe the worst that Molotov got was a tongue-lashing from Harry S. Truman (over the Soviets' failure to keep the commitments they made at Yalta).
Apparently Rudolf Hess flew to Scotland in 1941 to finalize a peace deal with certain British aristocrats so that the Germans could concentrate on the Russians. The Germans planned for the ex-king, the Duke of Windsor to take over the throne.
Unfortunately for Hess, MI-5 and Churchill knew about the whole affair and collared Hess when he crash-landed.
Certain British lords (such as the king’s cousin the Duke of Kent) died under mysterious circumstances not too long afterwards.
