That was Goebbels.
Himmler tried to negotiate with the British, but after escaping to the west and while in British custody, he found there would be no negotiations. He then crunched a cyanide capsule he had smuggled in (in his mouth, as I recall, disguised as dental work).
Thanks. This isn't this first time I've mixed up my henchmen.

It was Hess who defected to Britain in an Me 110 early in the war. He died in Spandau about a decade or so ago of old age.
