TRIAL OF NAZI DIPLOMATS Ribbentrop And "Degenerate" Britain

Frenzy Of Blind Hatred

Hitler

Nuremburg, Jan. 12. Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister, tried to convince Hitler that Britain was an old and weak country, too degenerated to follow a strong policy and to oppose acts of aggression intended by Hitler.

A former German Ambassador to Britain said this in an affidavit presented today in the Wilhelm- strasse trial of 21 high German diplomats and government officials which continued here. The Ambassador, Herr Her- bert

Dirksen, who Ribbentrop's queɖɔnkor as bassador to Britain, added that Hitler's anti-British fealing was whipped into a frenzy of blind hatred by Ribbentrop.
