In spite of what Nazi propaganda wanted people to believe, the suicide rate rose considerably during Hitler's regime. A state of war usually decreases the number suicides in a county (probably because of the feeling of national solidarity that war engenders), but even after World War II started the suicide rate didn't drop back down to pre-Hitler levels. As for the Nazi attitudes towards it, they saw suicide as a sign of racial weakness and believed it was better off if such people removed themselves from the gene pool -- although under certain circumstances, suicide in the SS could be seen as an honorable act.
