Magda Goebbels (1901–1945). Beautiful and wise Magda with children. In the final days of WWII, of Europe's great struggle for life and freedom, Magda and Joseph Goebbels committed suicide in Adolf Hitler's bunker, taking their children with them, rather than face a fate of torture, humiliation and murder at the hands of the vengeful Allies. They each wrote a final letter to their son Harald, who was a prisoner in an Allied concentration camp at the time. Hanna Reitsch explains in her 1955 book 'The Sky My Kingdom' that Magda gave her letter to Hanna to be taken out of Adolf Hitler's bunker on the fiery night of April 28, 1945. In Hanna's book she describes Magda as having 'wonderful composure that had never left her' despite being brought to tears several times by the terrible situation at hand.
