Fate of propaganda minister in coup.

Yes, I posted a WI about a coup in 1938.What would happen to the Minister of Propaganda?Suppose he was found with a woman at his office during the Putsch.I'd think he'd be shot.I do not think he'd be allowed to remain in office.Comments?
 
You mean Goebbels? If he doesn't end up getting shot while trying to escape or kills himself, they'd charge him with something and disappear him, one way or another. Corruption, most likely, since screwing everything with a skirt on was technically not a crime.

Actually, he'd make a very convenient scapegoat. He caqn be arrested fairlyeasilybecausehehas nofighting force loyal to him, unlike Himler, who'd probably need to be accidentally killed, almost nobody actually liked him, so there's no danger of a trial turning into a sympathy show, and he was senior enough to represent the regime as a whole. And he's not Goering, which leaves Hermann to actually run the coup, I guess.
