The Goebbels cabinet was named by Adolf Hitler in his political testament of 30 April 1945.[1][2] To replace himself, Hitler named Admiral Karl Dönitz as Reichspräsident and Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels as Reichskanzler. The cabinet was short-lived as Goebbels killed himself along with his family on 1 May. His government was followed by the Flensburg Government under Dönitz.[3]
