Goebbels did not "fall from power", but as it were, "removed himself" from the scene of action as it had become clear, after Hitler'suicide, that despite being named his successor, there clearly was no future for him. Literally, the Russians were at the door to the bunker. Also, he gave in his political testament, the fact he did not want to go on once National Socialism was destroyed. Too, he said he did not want his children to grow up to be pariahs in post war Germany.

One must also keep in mind that Goebbels was canny enough to realize that as one of the chief actors in the Nazi government, the Allied victors were sure to call him to account for the acts perpetrated during the Third Reich.He thus anticipated the act of ReichMarshall Goering after sentencing at Nuremberg in 1946, he too committed suicide

with cyanide smuggled in to him by a G.I. guard who fell in with a girl who was in on the plot.
