==Chancellor and Death==
−
In April 1945 as the war in Europe drew to an end over the Ally victory, Goebbels spent his last days with Hitler in Berlin. Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Pursuant to Hitler's "Last will and testament", Goebbels was appointed the Chancellor of Germany. However, Goebbels decided that there would be no redemption for himself or his family after Hitler's death. On May 1, 1945 he and his wife, Magda had their six children poisoned. Late that afternoon in the Reich Chancellery garden, Goebbels shot himself and his wife took poison. Acting on Goebbels' prior order, an SS officer then "gave... the coup de grâce". The bodies were then burned, but not buried. On the afternoon of the following day, Soviet Army soldiers found the heavily charred remains of the couple.<ref>Hamilton, Charles.
