Nuremberg Trials
Göring Imprisoned At Nuremberg
Ended 1946-10-15
Göring lived out the remainder of his life in a prison cell at a Nuremberg prison. His stay ended after he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death by hanging. He objected to the hanging requesting to be executed by firing squad - a request that was denied. Just a couple of hours before he was to be hanged he somehow managed to get a cyanide capsule which he bit into and died.
