List


Name	Date of birth	Date of death	Suicide method	Known for
Adachi Hatazō	17 June 1890	10 September 1947	Adachi committed suicide with a paring knife two months after being sentenced to life imprisonment by an Australian military tribunal for war crimes.^[1] He had previously stated that "The thought of life imprisonment is unbearable. I would rather have been sentenced to death."^[2]	Japanese lieutenant general and war criminal who commanded the 18th Army during the New Guinea campaign
Adolf Hitler	20 April 1889	30 April 1945	Hitler and his newly-wed wife Eva Braun killed themselves in April 1945 during the Battle of Berlin in order to avoid capture by the Red Army. Hitler shot himself in the right temple with a 7.65 mm Walther PPK pistol while Braun ingested cyanide. Afterwards their bodies were doused in petrol and burnt by Otto Günsche and Heinz Linge, as per Hitler's wishes.	German politician and leader of the Nazi Party who ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945
Albert Deutscher	18 August 1920	18 December 1981	A few hours after the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Deutscher accusing him of lying about his past in order to gain entry into the country and seeking to strip him of his citizenship, Deutscher ran in front of an oncoming train. The train engineer spotted Deutscher and repeatedly whistled for him to move away from the tracks, but he stayed put. The engineer then hit the emergency brakes, but he couldn't stop the train in time to prevent a collision, resulting in Deutscher's death.^[3] The incident was later ruled a suicide.^[4]	Black Sea German from Worms, Ukraine who served in the Selbstschutz paramilitary organisation and allegedly participated in the murder of hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust
Aleksander Laak	24 August 1907	6 September 1960	A week after being outed as a Nazi collaborator by the Tass news agency, Laak was found dead in his garage, hanging from a rafter by a rope around his neck. His death was ruled a suicide, but his wife and others suspected foul play.^[5] Laak had previously gone on record stating that he was worried for himself and his family, fearing reprisals against them.^[6] Zionist journalist Michael Elkins claimed in his 1971 book Forged in Fury that Nakam agent Arnie Berg (pseudonym) tracked Laak down to his home in Winnipeg and explained in great detail how he planned to kill him and his wife. Laak begged for mercy, so Berg gave him a rope and allowed Laak to hang himself, according to Elkins.^[7]	Estonian Canadian Nazi collaborator and commandant of the Jägala concentration camp
