Himmler committed suicide as well, but only when captured soon after the war by the British. (He had earlier attempted to take control of the Nazi government and make peace with the Allies). Bormann disappeared with many trying to escape from Berlin in early May, and was probably killed. Ribbentrop was captured and tried by the International Military Tribunal in 1946 -- he was put to death.
