He was the Reichskommissar for Norway and a thoroughly despiccable character in every conceivable sense of the word (he once tried to obtain permission to arbitrarily execute 10.000 randomly selected Norwegians as payback for a particularly effective piece of railroad sabotage committed by the Norwegian resistance).
When the war was finally lost, Terboven grabbed the corpse of his chief of police, a bottle of alcohol and a 50 kilo box of dynamite, and went to his tiny airraid shelter in the garden of his headquarters, where he sat down on the box, with the corpse at his feet, drinking the entire bottle of alcohol and then pressing the detonator.
Due to the compression of force within the bunker, he was struck not only by the initial explosion (which would certainly have killed him outright) but by every rebound from every wall, from the ceiling and the floor as the force of the blast ricocheted back and forth many times.
He was thusly one of only a handful of people who can truthfully be said to have been blown to pieces more than once.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy either.
I couldn't agree more. He should have stood trial and been convicted like the living refuse he was. But my whole point wasn't that it was good that he took his own life, only that since he did so, it was an extremely efficient way of doing it, and frankly, I can't think of anything more macho (a term I have a hard time associating with anything positive to begin with) than sitting on a crate of dynamite, with your dead mate at your feet, while getting drunk and pushing the detonator.
But yes, he should have stood trial, and yes, he got off -way- too easily.
