Hitler's original planned successor was Hermann Goering, leader of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force). But after a spat on April 28th, two days before Hitler shot himself, Goering was removed as successor and Karl Donitz was substituted. This was probably a poor decision on Hitler's part - Donitz capitulated with the Allies just 9 days later.
