The German foreign office (Auswärtiges Amt (AA)) had a sizable network of diplomatic missions when Nazis came to power in 1933.
While it was a deeply traditional and elitist organisation within the German civil service, it enthusiastically helped the Nazis prosecute an ambitious foreign policy.
Listed here are the ambassadors and other senior diplomats of the AA during the Third Reich, including those with the ranks of envoy (Gesandter), ambassador (Botschafter) consul and consul general as well as chargé d'affaires (Geschäftsträger) Abyssinia Afghanistan Albania Argentina Austria Belgium Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (Envoy) Bolivia Brazil Bulgaria Chile China and the Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China[2] Consul General in Canton Consul General in Hankou Consul in Jinan Consul General in Nanjing Consul in Qingdao Consul General in Shanghai Consul General in Tienstin Colombia Croatia, Independent State of Cuba Czechoslovakia Danzig, Free City of Denmark Ecuador Egypt Estonia Finland France Consul General in Algiers Consul General in Damascus Consul in Hanoi Consul General in Marseille Greece Guatemala Holy See Hungary Iceland Iraq Ireland Italy and the Italian Social Republic Consul General in Genoa Consul General in Milan Consul General in Naples Consul General in Tripoli Japan Consul General in Kobe Consul General in Yokohama Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Manchukuo Consul General in Mukden Consul General in Dairen Mexico Monaco Netherlands Consul General in Batavia Nicaragua Norway Paraguay Persia/Iran Peru Poland Portugal Romania Saudi Arabia Slovak Republic Spain Consul General in Barcelona Consul in Vigo Sweden Switzerland Tangier International Zone Thailand Turkey Union of Socialist Soviet Republics Consul General in Batum United Kingdom Consul General in Calcutta Consul General in Hong Kong Consul General in Jerusalem Consul General in Montreal and Ottawa (relocated in 1937) Consul General in Pretoria Consul General in Singapore Consul General in Sydney Consul General in Wellington United States Consul in Boston Consul in Chicago Consul General in Cleveland Consul General in Los Angeles Consul General in New Orleans Consul General in New York Consul General in Philadelphia Consul General in San Francisco Consul General in San Juan Consul General in St. Louis Venezuela Yugoslavia From Tobias C.
