Claims Hitler Under Ribbentrop’s Power
(11.30 a.m.) NUREMBERG. June 24. Denying before the War Crimes Tribunal that he was ever a member of Hitler’s inner circle, Baron von Neurath said difficulties arose through Ribbentrop's increasing influence. It became more difficult to dissuade Hitler from Ribbentrop's suggestions. Von Neurath said that when he heard Hitler was preparing to march into Sudetenland, he raced to Berlin and warned him of the consequences of this terrible step. He knew at the time that Mr Chamberlain was willing to fly to Germany and also willing to turn over the Sudetenland to Germany- if that was the price of peace. Mr Justice Lawrence: How did y-ou know? Von Neurath: The British Ambassador told me. He added that Mr Chamberlain had asked him to arrange a private interview with Hitler without the presence of Ribbentrop, who had been present at the first interview at Gcdesberg. "A result of tho talk was an AngloGerman tentative agreement to which France later adhered,” he said.
