Joachim von Ribbentrop was the foreign minister of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
In 1936, he was secretly involved with Wallis Simpson, the mistress and potential bride of the future King Edward VIII. He was also working with the Players to help arrange events so that Edward would dismiss his existing government and form a new one more sympathetic to Hitler's policies. This plan was thwarted when the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown visited that time period to track the Players' interference in history, with Peri managing to steal a list of Nazi sympathisers in Britain when von Ribbentrop tried to interrogate her about her "real" history after the Players claimed that she was an American secret agent to try and get her out of the way. Hitler was left outraged at the failure of von Ribbentrop's plan and his inability to provide the real list of Nazi sympathisers, Peri having switched it for a laundry list before she escaped. (PROSE: Players)
In 1939, von Ribbentrop met Ace at a Nazi party rally in Nuremberg and struck up a conversation with her. He later informed Hitler that Great Britain had declared war on Germany for their invasion of Poland. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus)
