Von Ribbentrop's Secret British House

"Dear, I was just watching the YouTube and you'll never guess who used to live in our house."

My new favorite thing is to tell people about Dr. Felton and then get the text the next day about how amazing he is.

When Goering objected to Ribbentrop becoming the German Ambassador to Britain, Hitler told Goering "Ribbentrop knows a lot of important people in Britain". Goering responded with "Yes, but the problem is that they know him".

I grew up in Hatch End which adjoins Pinner. When I was about eight, I remember my mother pointing out the house and saying that that was where Ribbentrop used to live. The only trouble was, I had no idea who Ribbentrop was.

My Czech grandfather was placed as a railway staff at a station near Berlin in 1943 - 44, and the Ribbentrop's train has stopped there for the night. Mrs. Ribbentrop invited some of staff for a dinner in the dining carriage, my grandpa was one of them. We know this from his hand written diary that we have.

Unfortunately these days "renovated inside and out" most likely means "destroyed all of the interesting historical fefatures."

Clear and concise history--no baloney. Dr. Felton should be required viewing in all public-school venues.

Undeniably the best, most interesting mid 20th century/WWII history channel on the platform. Thanks for another great video Dr. Felton.

I already posted this on Dr. Feltons call for assistance concerning this video, but in case someone is interested in a tiny bit more background knowledge: Ribbentrops grandson was my doctor for the first fifteen years of my life. My grandmother actually knew his mother (ribbentrops daughter, dont know which one though) quite well. She still tells stories about her being proud of being one of Hitlers favorite childrens and with how much authority she delegated random people around. She must have been quite the character. Her son though (my ex doctor) was, and hopefully still is, a very warm, welcoming and friendly person

My ex wife and myself viewed the property late 80s when it was offered for sale. It was very reasonably priced as the economy was as today, in a slump and interest rates high. It did indeed have a swastika at the entrance. The eventual buyers when remodelling stripped back the false walls and staircase coverings (possibly added when the RAF used it) to find ornate swastika motif railings and other symbols and carvings. I seem to remember it was actually still owned by the Wesr German government? Who just wanted shot of the place. And if memory serves when they looked in the garage after buying the Property, Ribbontropps Maybach official car came with the property as no one had bothered to go in there before the sale? Now there's one that got away.

A relationship with Hitler that "Soured." "Died of a Heart Attack inside the German Embassy." Imagine that......

Mark Felton. The original and the best. Other history channels just don’t compare.

My Father was a fibrous plasterer and he did some refurbishment work at 9 Carlton House Terrace in the 80s. One of his jobs was to replace the cornice which had the Nazi swastika on it

I live in Przemysl... so yeah, this guy. My half of the city ended up in the USSR. But on the bright side, the mother-in-law's house would be in Germany. I'm a glass half-full kind of guy.

In the 1960’s when visiting my Uncle who lived in Pinner, Middlesex with my parents. He showed us Ribbentrop’s House. To me it didn’t really mean anything at the time. As a side note, my Uncle was in the SOE, but we didn’t know this till I believe the 1990’s, when he was asked to attend an award ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Dr. Felton has done it again. He has dug up a terrific story from the past that few people know about and brilliantly presented it here on this channel. Kudos!

A classic and well-known example ofJoachim von Ribbentrop's buffoonery took place in Durham Cathedral, in 1936. As the organist struck up the hymn 'Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken' in the version that is identical to the German national anthem. Thinking it was a nod to his visit, Ribbentrop stood up and gave the Nazi salute. His host, the 7th Marquess of Londonderry had to ask him to sit down (no doubt pulling on his right arm).

This is extremely interesting. Schloss Fuschl is now a Luxury Collection Hotel where I've stayed several times. Never once did it cross my mind that this property once belonged to Ribbentrop.

10:28 The irony of it is it’s still looking better than 99% of British houses and will outlive them by decades. Just an architect opinion after working 20 years in the U.K. Excellent content Mark.

Needs country house to escape relentless press attention in London. Flies the swastika flag in the front yard whenever he's at the country house.
