Regierung Dönitz
For a brief period after Hitler's suicide, Goebbels was Germany's "Reichskanzler". On 1 May, after Goebbels' own suicide, for an equally brief period, "Reichspräsident" Admiral Karl Dönitz appointed Ludwig von Krosigk as "Reichskanzler". The headquarters of the Dönitz government were located around Flensburg, along with Mürwik, near the Danish border. Accordingly, the Dönitz administration was referred to as the Flensburg Government.
