The Third Reich met its end in the spring of 1945 in an unparalleled wave of        suicides. Hitler, Goebbels, Bormann, Himmler and later Goering all killed        themselves. These deaths represent only the tip of an iceberg of a massive wave of        suicides that also touched upon ordinary lives. As this suicide epidemic has no        historical precedent or parallel, it can tell us much about the Third Reich's        peculiar self-destructiveness and the depths of Nazi fanaticism.Christian Goeschel        looks at the suicides of both Nazis and ordinary people in Germany between 1918 and        1945, from the end of World War I until the end of World War II, including the mass        suicides of German Jews during the Holocaust. He shows how suicides among different        population groups, including supporters, opponents, and victims of the regime,        responded to the social, cultural, economic and, political context of the time. He        also analyses changes and continuities in individual and societalresponses to        suicide over time, especially with regard to the Weimar Republic and the post-1945        era.Richly grounded in gripping and previously unpublished source material such as        suicide notes and police investigations, the book offers a new perspective on the        central social and political crises of the era, from revolution, economic collapse,        and the rise of the Nazis, to Germany's total defeat in 1945.
