He was sentenced to death by hanging. He committed suicide with a smuggled cyanide capsule about two hours before his execution. He left a note saying he did not object to the death sentence, but felt he should be shot by firing squad, and that it was "undignified" for him to hang. Keitel and Jodl, the other two military generals condemned to death, also requested firing squad, which was denied.

What was Herman goering's weight?

Hermann Goering was 5'6'' tall and weighed 265 lbs. He was not 5'10 as previously stated. One of the supervisors of the prison guards is featured on a documentary and talks about Goering in detail. See 9:03 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-GwmU1OTLE> Goering was short and round. Goering's weight vacillated. He had a drug addiction and an eating disorder. When he was captured, he had a huge box of bottles of pills in his possession, perhaps 30,000 pills and was taking 40 per day. The Allies weaned him off his drugs in captivity during the Nuremberg Trials in 1945. He was also restricted to a low-calorie diet. Goering went from 265 pounds to perhaps 190 before he was set to be hung.
