Several key leaders of the Nazi regime committed suicide as the Third Reich collapsed. Adolf Hitler took his own life on April 30, 1945, in his bunker in Berlin. Other prominent figures, such as Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels, also chose suicide; Goebbels and his wife killed themselves on May 1, 1945, after poisoning their children. Additionally, Heinrich Himmler, while not in direct suicide but evading capture, took poison on May 23, 1945, after being apprehended by Allied forces.
