The author, Joachim von Ribbentrop's eldest son, describes his father in this work of contemporary history from his own experience, particularly on the basis of domestic conversations during the 1930s. Why did he make himself available to Adolf Hitler first as a special foreign policy envoy, then as ambassador and finally as minister? Was the policy of the "Third Reich" really directed towards war from the very beginning? Were there differences of opinion between Hitler and his foreign minister?
Rudolf von Ribbentrop attempts to show, also taking into account current research findings, that his father's policy was originally aimed at achieving a balance with the Western powers, and elaborates the reasons that led to the Hitler-Stalin Pact and finally to the attack on Poland. The role of prominent representatives of the German resistance in the Foreign Ministry is also discussed.
