In April 1936, Joachim von Ribbentrop, then serving as German Ambassador to Great Britain, delivered a speech presenting Nazi Germany as a supporter of peace in Europe. Only two years later, he would become Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany, playing a key role in the regime’s foreign policy and diplomatic manoeuvres that helped pave the way for the Second World War.
