He, and the Third Reich, were brought down by the failure of the German people and armed forces. Or so he thought, being a typical despot dictator who blames failure on anyone or any thing but himself. Remind you of someone?

As well I suppose, suicide would have been preferable to capture by the Russians (who were on the Fuhrerbunker doorstep).
