I think that it really depends on the state of mind in which one commits suicide. But even that, I don’t know.
There was a particular German general, General Erwin Rommel. He was a great man. He always saw himself to work for Germany but not the Third Reich. Anyway, after the failed Valkyrie assassination plot, Rommel was condemned as a traitor. He was given a choice by the higher ups because he was a well renowned and much loved general: either kill yourself or we imprison and torture your family. The Nazis persecuted the families of convicted or suspected traitors. He chose to kill himself in favor of any harm coming to his family. He sacrificed himself for others.
