Diplomats and Career Officials [Diplomaten und Staatsbeamte]
    The German Foreign Office had its formation under Bismark during the First Reich. Hitler's successful overthrow of the Second Reich and the Nazi Party's rise to power necessitated numerous changes in the German Diplomatic Corps. After his appointment as Foreign Minister in 1938, Joachim von Ribbentrop established two distinct branches of personnel within the Foreign Office - diplomatic personnel who were diplomats per se and government officials who were associated with the other related functions of the Foreign Office and Ministry of the Interior. While the diplomats reported directly to Ribbentrop, the Government officials were concerned with internal government administration and were ultimately responsible to the Minister of the Interior, Himmler. For more information click here to see LTC (Ret.) Tom Johnson's 8 vol. set "Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich", or some of the other reference books that we offer.
