Another reason I believe Hitler ordered the SS to kill him was that the Germany he envisioned, the Third Reich, was dead in ruins around him, Hitler himself having been locked in an underground bunker for weeks. For a fanatic like him, truly, what was there left to live for?
Hitler had also ordered his army and SS to hold out in Berlin until the last man, and most likely felt it was only right that he himself should sacrifice his life in the end, though one could say it was in a cowardly way.
