What sentence did Herman Goering get at Nuremberg?

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.
