List of ambassadors of Nazi Germany

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)
