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.
In 1933, at Roper's suggestion, Roosevelt asked William Sr. to become the United States' Ambassador to Berlin. He accepted, and was quickly confirmed. The entire Dodd family, including William Jr. and his sister, relocated to Berlin. [2] In 1935, William Jr. completed his Ph.D. in History at the University of Berlin.
Prior to that, the only German states holding diplomatic relations with the U.S. were the Kingdom of Prussia, since 1835, and the three Hanseatic cities of Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck, since 1853. [1] Relations were broken twice (1917 to 1921, 1941 to 1955) while Germany and the United States were at war.
