Ribbentrop Takes Blame at Nuremberg Trial
In Nuernberg on March 26 Joachim von Ribbentrop admitted full responsibility for his acts as Foreign Minister of Germany but pleaded innocence on all counts of the war crimes indictment. He followed the example of Goering and Hess in his personal defense. The court rejected defense evidence claiming the Versailles treaty was unjust and signed under duress. British prosecutor Sir David Maxwell Fyfe said the defense claim was remote and irrelevant to the tribunal charter. Defense lawyers attacked the treaty and the accusation that Nazis conspired to violate it to wage aggressive war.
