Actually it was turned over to Admiral Doenitz of the German navy. You see Hitler folund out that Goering was trying to pursue a separate peace treaty with the Americans and Hitler deemed him a traitor and the same could be said for Himmler. When Goering went to the Americans he was taken into custody for war crimes against humanity in which he would be eventally found guilty. Before he was executed he was found dead by suicide after taking a lethal dose of cyanide in his cell with the help of an American soldier,or at least that is what the rumors are. It was Admiral Doenitz who eventually surrendered to the Allies on May 8, 1945. For proof all you have to do is find the signature of the man at the bottom of the surrender papers.

Nope. Donitz was indeed put in charge after Hitler's death. Hitler at that time considered Goering to be a traitor.

Near the end of the war, as the Red Army closed in around the German capital on April 23, 1945, Göring sent a telegram from Berchtesgaden to Berlin in which he proposed to assume leadership of the Reich as Hitler's designated successor. Hitler considered this disloyalty and high treason, especially because Göring mentioned a time limit after which he would consider Hitler incapacitated. Hitler had Göring placed under arrest by Bernhard Frank on April 25 and in his political testament Hitler dismissed Göring from all his sundry offices and expelled him from the party. He was later tried as a war criminal, condemned to death, and committed suicide in his cell.

Goering was supposed to take power after Hitler's death, but he lost that right after so many mistakes on his part. He tried to take power from Hitler when he thought that Hitler was dead after the bombing in his wolf's lyre. The Commander of the German Navy Admiral Duinitz will take his place and was the one to surrender to the Allies at the end of the war. I'm not that great Spelling, I mean the commander of U-boats and then the Commader of the german navy.

Georing was on the run at the time of the suicide, was also trying to save his bacon along with Himlerr who was negotating a surrender on different terms. Admiral Doinitz was in charge of all Nazi forces and signed the surrender.

No. When the troops were closing in on Hitler, Goering suggested that he take the position of fuhrer immediately. Hitler got pissed and kicked him out of the Nazi Party.

Goerring tried to takeover before his boss's death and for that he was stipped of his power. The Grand Admiral was given command as stated above.
