Goebbels cabinet

The Josef Goebbels' Cabinet was named by Adolf Hitler in his political testament of 30 April 1945. To replace himself, Hitler named Admiral Karl Dönitz as Reichspräsident. The cabinet was shortlived, and was followed on 2 May 1945 by the Flensburg Government.[1] This was caused when Josef Goebbels took his own life on 1 May and Martin Bormann did likewise the following day.
