Hitler was an Anglophile. He really felt the two countries and peoples , Britain and Germany were alike.

von Ribbentrop was the one who hated Britain, mainly because he felt slighted when he was the German Ambassador to Britain.

I believe Goebbels said of von Ribbentrop something to the effect ‘’He married his money, borrowed his name and swindled his way into office’’. The ‘’von’’ in his name was something he more or less begged off of a distant relative. His real job in life before being the Nazi Foreign Minister was a liquor salesman. That was one of another of Goebbels digs , referring to him as ‘’That champagne salesman’’.
