    Interesting, didn´t know that Ribbentrop was SS, I always thought he was foreign ministry (Aussenminister).

    That Daily Mail paper seems to be obsessed with Nazi stories lol

    He was made an SS-Standartenführer in, IIRC, 1933. I believe it was more or less an honorary position.

    Also interesting that he was the first to hang at Nuremberg.

    Göring was meant to be the first but killed himself instead.
