The attached article is an eyewitness account of the suicide of Heinrich Himmler as told by Major John C. Schwarzwalder, a former member of the intelligence division of the U.S. Army Services Forces. He had been in the room at the time:
"...At the end of the search an army doctor told Himmler to open his mouth. The prisoner did so, but Himmler bit down. The doctor withdrew his finger hastily. Himmler then ground his teeth together and swallowed hard. Some say he smiled grimly. In another second he was on the floor writhing in agony. In just twelve minutes Himmler was dead." "The vial of potassium cyanide which killed him had been cleverly fitted around a sunken wisdom tooth. All Himmler needed to do at any moment was to shift his jaw and bite down."
