Actually there’s a historical parallel to this. When the German army pulled their coup against Hitler in 1944 and it failed, one of the ringleaders, General Beck, attempted to take “the Prussian officer’s way out” and commit suicide at Wehrmacht headquarters. His first shot just grazed his head. He tried again a couple of minutes later, and the second shot was also non-fatal. Supposedly at that point someone in the room turned to a junior officer and said, “help the poor gentleman.” He was eventually finished off by an SS sergeant.

Makes sense to me. I come from a long line of hard-headed Krauts...
