...pursuit of this policy, Stalin and Molotov welcomed Joachim von Ribbentrop to the Kremlin and launched out upon the Soviet Union's brief and fateful course of collaboration with Nazi Germany. Five weeks before Hitler attacked the U.S.S.R., Stalin took over the Premiership from Molotov, assigned him primarily to Foreign Affairs. In May 1942 Foreign Commissar Molotov climbed into a four-motored bomber, flew west to seek friends...
...Nazi Leaders, those indelibly stamped with the Party label-like Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Göring, Ribbentrop, Rosenberg and thousands of Nazis who hold cardinal state positions-these Germans know that perpetuation of the Nazi regime is, above all, a personal matter of life or death. They hope to consolidate their forces and successfully defend the Third Reich. They also hope, and they probably believe, that the Allies may weary, divide and make peace with a Nazi Germany...
...Bulgaria was slated for a bigger role. Hungarian sources reported that Premier Filoff had hurried to a Berchtesgaden session with Adolf Hitler; he may also have seen his old acquaintance, Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.

...Partisans had seized a stretch of the Dalmatian coast below Fiume. Hungarian sources reported that Adolf Hitler, apparently dissatisfied with the puppet Serb Government of General Milan Nedich, had also summoned to Berchtesgaden ex-Premier Dragisha Cvetkovich. Swarthy, ambitious Dragisha Cvetkovich had visited Adolf Hitler and Joachim von Ribbentrop in 1941, then had allied Yugoslavia with the Axis. A popular revolt had repudiated him. After his country's defeat, he had lived privately and well at a Czech spa. Now, perhaps, he would serve as the most likely Yugoslav quisling...
...Devil. Bern reported that German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop had slipped into Italy for crucial talks with Italian Foreign Minister Raffele Guarig-lia (see p. 23). In any haggling with Germany, the Badoglio Government stood at a disadvantage. The Nazis held as hostages for Italian conduct some 400,000 Italian workers in Germany, some 25 Italian divisions hemmed by the Wehrmacht in the Balkans. German troops had occupied the strategic sectors of northern Italy. The Nazi position seemed clear: if the Allies would not accept a neutral Italy, the Germans would accept nothing but Italy's continued alliance...
