Actually, yes.

  • Joseph Goebbels and his wife were so shocked and saddened by Hitler's death that the next day they poisoned their six young children, he shot his wife, and then shot himself.
  • Hermann Goering tried to escape but was captured by the Allies and was put on trial at Nuremberg. He was found guilty and sentenced to be executed- however, he managed to poison himself before he was hanged.
  • Heinrich Himmler also tried to escape capture, but like Goering, was captured. He poisoned himself soon after he was arrested.

Many other mid-to-high level Nazis committed suicide by various means in order to escape justice at the hands of the Allied Powers. The above are a few of the most prominent leaders who committed suicide.
