In all capacities, Seyss-Inquart was an enthusiastic participant in anti-Semitic policies and furtherance of the Holocaust. Before he committed suicide, Adolf Hitler dictated his will, which appointed Seyss-Inquart to the office of foreign minister, not that it mattered at this stage. For his part, Seyss-Inquart led a tenacious defense of the Netherlands throughout 1944 and into 1945. He was captured on 7 May 1945. He was a defendant at the Nuremberg Trials where he was convicted, and executed by hanging in 1946.
