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.
