Light of My Life, True Romance. Now, 13 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: when we talk about true romance, what about the romance 14 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: of a young German woman being ordered by her doctor 15 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: to take math amphetamine so that she can produce more 16 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: soldiers to go die on the Eastern Front.

Is that not the truest romance 18 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: in a way, So that's not really what we were 19 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: going for when we started our shows much more. You know, 20 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: this is not a city references. Okay, stuff like that. 21 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: So your podcast is not about fueling the aust fronts 22 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: inexorable need for human cattle. You know, we talked about 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: that and we're let's go in another direction. Actually it 24 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: would be a bit late for that at this point. 25 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: One way or the other, no matter which side you 26 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: came in on it. Really your show is doing that. 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: So we are we are We are always trying to 28 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: convince people to go die in Russia. That is, that 29 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: is our main sponsor is the bone feels of kursk Um. 30 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: Add your bones to them today, what do you what 31 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: are you going to do with them? You're not using 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: your bones? Give him to kursk anyway, Yeah, Carolina, I 33 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: want to talk about Hitler's parts a little bit. Yes, yes, yes, 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Hitler had a horrible part problem and this this is 35 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: ship problem. His enormous ships that couldn't be flushed. But 36 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: he told the entire world about and everyone was just like, yeah, 37 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: this is just a thing that's happening. God was so 38 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: good fishes and ship that was so funny pants all 39 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: the time. And if you look at close up allegedly, 40 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: i mean allegedly, what is easier to believe than the 41 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 1: fact that Trump ships his pants. I can't. I mean 42 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the diaper, but the diaper bottom. Lots of rad people 43 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: ship their pants and don't do the bad things that 44 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: just like just like the pants, baby ship their pants, 45 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: and most babies do not attempt to stop the immigration 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: visas of interpreters um and and ban immigration from Majordan Nation. 47 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: It would be very hard for a baby to do 48 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: either of those six. Even if you were to invest 49 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: a baby with the powers of the presidency and change 50 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: the constitution to allow a baby to serve, a baby 51 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: would would have a very difficult time pushing either of those. 52 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Even signing its name would be a tremendous effort. It 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: would be a whole thing. I kind of want to 54 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: see a TV show where you've got like a baby 55 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: and a bunch of fascists, and the babies the presidents. 56 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: They have to like connive ways to get the baby 57 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: to like do something recognizable as a signature. They're just 58 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: having to walk around and ink and stuff. That'd be 59 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: a fun show, giving the I think this is the 60 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: next installment of Boss Baby Boss Babies. He's the He's 61 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: unknowingly the figure ahead of a fascist movement. Damnity opened 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the border. He crawled over the wrong paper. Yeah uh, 63 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: boss baby. So let's talk about Hitler's farts. Um. This 64 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: is an important subject because Hitler was one of the 65 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: most important people who ever lived, right. That's that I'm 66 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: just kind of objectively. We don't have to think that's 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: a pleasant fact for it to be real. Um. And 68 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: as a result of the fact that he had a horrible, 69 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: horrible gastro intestinal problem had an influence on the course 70 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: of world history. UM. As we talked about last episode. 71 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Dr Morrell prescribed hitler Muda floor for his g I issues, 72 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: but he also gave him medication for his out of 73 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: control flatulence, which often led to unbearable gas pain in 74 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: some cases embarrassing farting during important meetings, sometimes with like 75 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: for like. This was a whole thing for Hitler all 76 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the way up through his early career. Now, the specific 77 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: medication that Dr Morrell picked was Dr Kester's anti gas pills. 78 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: Hitler's flash lens does seem to have had at least 79 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: some psycho somatic element. He had particularly bad attacks of 80 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: cramps and gas during times of stress, meetings with important 81 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: foreign dignitaries or the eve of major assaults. So as 82 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Hitler went from political brinksmanship to invading all of Europe, 83 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: his gas attacks grew more frequent and severe, and he 84 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: had to take more anti gas pills. Today there are 85 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: medications that help with gas, but Dr Kester's pills where 86 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: distinctively quack remedy. Most reputable doctors would not have prescribed 87 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: them because their active ingredient was atropa bella donna, which 88 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: included atropine and strict nine. So to stop as far 89 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: as he was taking strict nine pills every day, yeah, 90 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: it's softer way, Yeah, And there there's debate over there's 91 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: debate over whether or not it would have been possible 92 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: for him to take enough of a dose to have hurt, 93 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: because like the recommended dose of the pills, it was 94 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: too little Strict nine to have really done anything. But 95 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: he was also taking way more than the recommended dose. 96 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that we have a We also don't 97 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: have a clear understanding of like how good was that 98 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: company's the sketchy company's control process, how much? How do 99 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: we know that he was actually only getting this much 100 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: or whatever we did. These are questions that will never 101 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: be answered, but we do know that he was taking 102 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: a shipload of Strict nine pills for years, and that 103 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: that may have had an impact. Yes, Strict nine is 104 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: a poison. It's a deadly poison in high enough doses, 105 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: and it can cause severe discomfort and like a variety 106 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: of negative effects. It can also be kind of a 107 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: sedative and lower doses, although I wouldn't recommend it because 108 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: it's Strict nine. Um. But yeah, again, it's impossible to 109 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: like say exactly oh at this moment. The fact that 110 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: Hitler was taking strychnine all the time led to this decision. Um, 111 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: But it is hard to imagine someone taking strict nine 112 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: and increasing quantities every day for years without they're big, 113 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: some kind of impact on him. Something, in the words 114 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: of Nancy Meyers, something's got to give. Okay, it didn't 115 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: help it. And again, there is a lot of stuff 116 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: being shoved into Hitler's body by Morrel, these Strict nine pills, 117 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: these weird hormones, these injections, drugs, you know, amphetamines, and 118 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the other drugs later. We don't know 119 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: exactly what did what, but one thing everyone does agree on, 120 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: and this is universally agreed among scholars and physicians who 121 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: have reviewed Hitler's records is that his health declined rapidly 122 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: after and it all played a role in that, right, 123 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm not it's probably too much to pick one thing. 124 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: That stress is also like he's losing a war for 125 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: most of that time, so that as an impact too, 126 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: but I think probably just after you like, it can't 127 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: feel boy, it doesn't feel great. No. Um. Now, it 128 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: is widely agreed that all of Hitler's like as I said, 129 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: so again we can't say, like how much of this 130 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: is on the drugs, how much of this is on 131 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: aging and stress. But as the war kicked off, Dr 132 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: Morrell grew a lot more comfortable using Hitler as a 133 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: guinea pig. And you have to assume that has and 134 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: we'll talk specifically about that a bit. So in honest 135 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: of Hitler's operation, Barbarossa was well underway, conquering more and 136 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: more land more quickly, in capturing more enemy soldiers than 137 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: any other invasion force in history. The RMCHT had begun 138 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: to find find itself bogged down, though casualties were mounting, 139 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: and as the winter approached, the Red Army prepared its 140 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: first of many counterattacks. At this moment, Hitler got sick 141 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: for the first time in years. He was too ill 142 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 1: to properly work. Dr Morel was summoned to the German 143 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: leader's side. He found Hitler bedridden and suffering from diarrhea 144 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: and fever. The probable diagnosis with diagnosis was was dysenterry. 145 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: Hitler ordered his doctor to fix him immediately, and again 146 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: Morell's main selling point is like, you feel better right away, 147 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, because I'm shooting you full of caffeine or 148 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: maybe meth or whatever. You will help, you will. Yeah, 149 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: well that is the bit of a problem. But like 150 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: so dysenterry. I've had dysenter I've had dysentery that nearly 151 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: killed me in a village in the desert and rural India. Um, 152 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: there's no quick cure for dysenterry like yours, that is 153 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: to take something like cipro and just kind of like 154 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: not die. Yeah, but you're not. You're not getting better fast, 155 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't even think today we really can 156 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: not not once it gets going. Maybe if you're super 157 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: rich and you get immediately to I don't know, maybe 158 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: there's something like yeah, it's not immediately available, And especially 159 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: at this point, there's nothing morel can do for Hitler really, 160 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: um So he tries, though, um so, because his first 161 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: shot was like vitamins, He's basically give him a shitload 162 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: of vitamin C and other vitamins to try to like 163 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: perk of his immune system. And obviously this doesn't do anything, 164 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: and so Morrell decided next to mix his normal vitamin 165 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: shot with a steroid glycan noorm which he made with 166 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: extracts of the heart, adrenal glands, liver, and pancreas of 167 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: farm animals. Yeah, he's shooting Hitler up with a lot 168 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: of random animal hormones, Like there's a whole for for years. 169 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. I have like the ambition of Dr 170 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Frankenstein a little bit. Yeah, there's some again. Hormones are 171 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: also kind of new in terms of like our understanding 172 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: of them, like vitamins, So people are just like, yeah, 173 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: just filled people up with hormones seems like a good idea. 174 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: It's fun stuff. So while he was juicing Dear Fear up, 175 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Morrel bent his needle in Hitler's arm, and to deal 176 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: with the pain of that, he gave his boss to 177 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: Lantern an opioid. Despite all of this, Hitler was still 178 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: sick and now enraged that his personal physician had failed. 179 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: Morrell wrote in his notes, fear very irritable. Have never 180 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: experienced such hostility to myself. He might not be such 181 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: a cool guy. Well, and again, Hitler loves Merril up 182 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: to this point because Morrell stru his drug dealer. Whether 183 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: the shots just caffeine or if there's amphetamine or like 184 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: or hormones which are powerfully mentally active, he's he's he's 185 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: doctor feel good. Yeah, yeah, he's doctor feel good and 186 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: he and it always works because drugs do work. That 187 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: is the fun thing about drugs. If you take a drug, 188 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: you may have to take more and more, but you 189 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: will continue to get high. It's kind of a thing. 190 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: The drugs do um. Whereas everyone else in Hitler's world 191 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: at some point fails, generally repeatedly fails, and so he 192 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: has all these rages at people who don't do good 193 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: enough for him. But Morrel always comes in and makes 194 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: him feel good. And when he doesn't, it's you know, 195 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: most people don't like their drug dealers at the best 196 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: of times. I don't know. Maybe it's different now for 197 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: you kids and your your pot shops and stuff. But 198 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: my day, if you wanted to buy drugs, you had 199 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: to hang out with a dude you probably wouldn't have 200 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: hung out with if you were not buying drugs from them. Um, 201 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: not all. I definitely had some coolst drug dealers too, 202 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: But like, yeah, videos, Yeah, you're gonna sit around talking 203 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: about Alex Jones with a guy before he sells you 204 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: a vagaweed and some opium. Um, and that's not going 205 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: to be the funnest experience of your entire life. Um. 206 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: Sorry to my cool drug dealers that I had. Yeah, 207 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: any of my old drug dealers are listening, it's not you, 208 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: It's it's the game. You know, it's the game. And 209 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: it's the fact that you made me listen to Alex 210 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Jones a bunch while you were measuring out. Anyway, whatever, um, 211 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: cute guy I saw in my drug dealer's house and 212 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine I thought we shared a moment. 213 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: If you're out there, maybe this is too late for 214 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: a misconnection on Craig's List, but thinking of you, I 215 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: did date a couple of my drug dealers, and I 216 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: do recommend that Yeah, okay, you get cheap drugs, Yeah, yeah, 217 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: sometimes you get very expensive drugs depending on how you 218 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: measure expense, Yeah, like an emotional level. They can be 219 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: very very pricey, most expensive weed you ever buy sometimes, 220 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: But anyway, money, I don't want to spend that much 221 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: time with um. People will laugh at anything. I don't 222 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: know drugs anyway. So Morrell, Hitler's drug dealer has just 223 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: like you know, failed to come up with the ship 224 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: for the first time. And Hitler doesn't want to hang 225 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: around and listen to Alex Jones if he's not going 226 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: to get a dime bag, you know, um, And Morrell's like, 227 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: don't text amount signal bro, you gotta hit me up 228 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: on signal um. So eventually Hitler did recover from the dysentery, 229 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: but the fact that his normally instant injections had not 230 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: provided quick relief rattle Dr Morrell. His ability to get 231 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: and stay rich was directly tied to Hitler's favor, and 232 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: hitler issue may not, as you may be surprised to learn, 233 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: kind of a fickle dude, kind of kind of easy 234 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: to fall out of Hitler's favor see The Night of 235 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: Long Knives and so, as Norman Older writes and blitzed 236 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: quote so that patient Aid didn't end up in the 237 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: sick bay again and fall behind. Morrel administered a harder 238 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: course of prophylactic injections and went on to prescribe more 239 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: and more remedies and every change in concentrations. He barely 240 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: made any diagnoses, but instead constantly added to his basic 241 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: medicinal treatment. This soon included such diverse substances as Tono 242 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: foss fan, a metabolic stimulant made by the company Hetched, 243 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: chiefly used nowadays in veterinary medicine, the hormone rich and 244 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: immune system boosting bodybuilding supplement most serin, a byproduct of 245 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: uterine blood, the sexual hormone testo vin to combat declining 246 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: libido in vitality, and orchacrin, a derivative of bulls testicles, 247 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be a cure for depression. Another 248 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: substance has happened to be our sponsors. Yeah, we are 249 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: heavily sponsored by orchacrin. You're feeling sad, don't go to therapy. 250 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: Get a bulls testicles injected into your blood stream, and 251 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: I've got some stuff from my uterine blood for anyone 252 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: who's interested. There you go, that'll be a cure for you. 253 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: What was that a cure? Um? Libido and virility. There 254 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: you go. Oh wait, no, sorry, that was a bodybuilding 255 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: it'll it'll get get your buff. Yeah, well it's been 256 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: working to help me pump iron. That's it is iron 257 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: rich um, which is why people, ladies often need to 258 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: take iron pills um. So. Another substance used was called 259 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: prostacrinum um, which was made by from seminal vesticles and 260 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: the prostates of young bull ales. Even though he didn't 261 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: eat meat, Hitler surely could no longer be considered vegetarian. 262 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: From autumn ninety one onward, more and more highly concentrated 263 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: animal substances began to circulate in his blood stream. The 264 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: purpose of these supplements was to compensate for states of 265 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: psychological and physical exhaustion, or to prevent them in advance 266 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: by reinforcing the body's defenses. However, as a result of 267 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: the constantly changing applications and the rising doses that followed, 268 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: Hitler's natural immune system was soon replaced by an artificial 269 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: protective shield. I don't know how scientifically accurate that last 270 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: bit is, but he's definitely on point about like what 271 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: Hitler was taking. And my god, it's again we don't know, 272 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: like what exact impact. But it can't have. It has 273 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: to have influenced. He's getting so much ship shot into 274 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: his bloodstream, ridiculous stuff. Two different kinds of bull testicle 275 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: shot into his blood, different kinds of animals, like a 276 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: lot of animals shot into him, a lot of animal 277 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: hormones like it's of course this has an influence on 278 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: the guys thinking like it would not yeah, to think 279 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: we've just outed him as not vegetarian. It feels like 280 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: now he could really get canceled, like these little cancel 281 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: culture finally comes for Hitler. We really just need to 282 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: get them this information and see how they really feel. 283 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: There's some guy with four eight eight tattooed on his 284 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: forehead hearing this and just starts weeping, sadly tears down 285 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: his Hitler poster. I'll never believe in anything again. So 286 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: one of the shortcomings of Blitz, and I don't even 287 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: know if this would have been possible, but it is. 288 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: It is a missing thing is that Older doesn't give 289 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: us a lot of scientific information about how all these 290 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: weird animal derivative substances would have impacted Hitler's body and mind. 291 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: And in fairness, there's probably not a lot of great 292 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: data on this stuff, because no one else would have 293 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: used it, or at least would have used it to 294 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: the extent that Morel did. So the guinea pig anymore, Yeah, 295 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: Hitler was the guinea pig. So it's like it is, 296 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: this is a missing aspect of the book. I don't 297 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: know that it's fair to critique Older for it, because like, yeah, 298 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how many other people got this much 299 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: bowl testicle ejected into their bodies, like or this much 300 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: like uterine blood extract. Friend you have, has he invaded 301 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: Russia recently, he's thinking about he's thinking of that. Well, 302 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: he says, it's just the bull testical talking. Well, we 303 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: get one more person and then then we have a 304 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: trend which we can Yeah. Yeah, Hitler loved all this 305 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: stuff though, like again, whatever we could say about the 306 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: absolute effects and we just don't have a lot of data, 307 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: Hitler seemed to feel like it had a big impact 308 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: on him. He was mentally dependent on this stuff, So again, 309 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: some of it's probably purely psychosomatic, right, Like, he has 310 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: a couple of good experiences early on with Morrel and 311 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: he becomes kind of it's almost like a good luck 312 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: charm before big meeting, I need to get shot up. 313 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: Maybe most of it's like the caffeine as opposed, but like, 314 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of it is is what. 315 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: But he's profoundly mentally dependent on this stuff, to the 316 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: point that you know, late in the war, when Hitler 317 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: is when von Staffenberg tries to blow him up with 318 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: the bomb. After that point, everyone who was close to 319 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: Hitler gets thoroughly searched by the s S. The only 320 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: person exempt was Dr Morrell in his medical back, which 321 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: is that gives you an idea of like how important 322 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: this guy was to Hitler. Later that year, Hitler and 323 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: Mussolini took a train ride together to the Eastern Front. 324 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: It was a te boys trip, right, You want to 325 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: be on that train, Hitler and Mussolini pounding shots, injecting 326 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: bull testicles into their thick, weird necks. Yeah. I feel 327 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: like in the early days, man, we would be like 328 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: hanging out, you know, annex and ship all the time. Like, 329 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: what's up, man, you evade Russian You don't have any 330 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: fucking time for me, you know. It's it's it's like 331 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: that for them. So it's a twenty four hour trip, 332 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: and obviously Hitler parts. Yeah, you do not want to 333 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: be in that train. Um. Mussolini probably too right. You 334 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: look at that guy's fucking face. That's a guy who's 335 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: you don't want to be in a train with. Um. 336 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: But also Hitler can't stand that long without getting shot up, right. 337 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: He's again he's very dependent on whatever the funk Morrel 338 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: is putting into his veins. Um. And so periodically the 339 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: s S would stop the train and set up anti 340 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: aircraft defenses so that Dr Morrell could shoot Adolf Hitler 341 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: up with veteran airy steroids in calcium. I can imagine 342 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Mussolin anything like the one time Muslin he was like 343 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't know about this guys amazing. 344 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: It's like Kundalina yoga, Like it really sets me right. 345 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: That is the story of Mussolini, because Mussolini is a 346 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: lot always a much more stable man than Hitler ever was, 347 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: and a lot less of a true believer. Mussolini's a 348 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: guy of flexible political idea. He really just kind of 349 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: wants power. Um. And there's part of the Mussolini story 350 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: is like kind of belatedly realizing like, oh shit, I 351 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: should not have gotten involved this allying with Germany seemed 352 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: like a good call at a certain point. I did 353 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: not want all the trouble this is bringing my way. 354 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: I did not want war with all of these other countries. 355 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: Like why did I do this? And yeah, I'm sure 356 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: this train is. Hitler is getting shot up with veterinary 357 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: steroids and farting musil and he's like, God, damn it, 358 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: it's you know what this might be on me a 359 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: little bit, like you're my only friend, Like I chose you. 360 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: This is not an inspiring situation. I have a feeling 361 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to get hung upside down by my own people, 362 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: beaten as like a pin YadA um text Winston Church 363 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: and he's just like, hey, what's up. You know I've 364 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: been missing you lately. I know there's been like a 365 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of ship but maybe just talk. You want to talk? 366 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: Do you want to have like a no, Hitler, I'm 367 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna talking to anybody. Shut up, Like stop it, go 368 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: take more veterinary steroids, come on growing a tail. Yeah. 369 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: So the exact nature of what Hitler took did change 370 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: every day. MORELL kept a rotating stable. Eventually more than 371 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: a different hormone preparations mixed with steroids, nonsense medicine like 372 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: anti gas bills, traditional medicines and drugs and like amphetamines 373 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: and ship and we'll talk about other stuff that was 374 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: in there later. Older alleges that there was a psychological 375 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: importance behind the fact that Hitler's drug diet changed daily 376 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: and Menty avoided feeling dependent on any specific drug but 377 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: was instead dependent on Dr Morrel's overall care. This is 378 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: impossible to prove in like an objective way, but it 379 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: it makes sense. It's a logical leap, but it's one 380 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: that I don't think is an implausible one. It makes 381 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: like if I were doping Hitler, I would have done 382 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: the same thing, right, just knowing what I do about drugs, Like, yeah, 383 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: you don't want I'm to get too dependent on any 384 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: one thing. Also, it won't work as well if they 385 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: get too dependents. So like, okay, we'll do the opiates 386 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: and then we'll take a couple of days and we'll 387 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: give you some caffeine in the next day. We'll give 388 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: you a little bit of like speed the next day, 389 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: and then you know you kind of you cycle, right, 390 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: Like that's the that's that's that's the best way to 391 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: do this. If you're doing, and I think I think 392 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: Owlder's leap there is is a pretty intelligent one. Now, 393 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: while the Fear was growing ever more dependent on a 394 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: bizarre cocktail of steroids and hormone extractions, the ther Mocht 395 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: itself dealt with the whole sweep of drug addiction. If 396 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: you've never been a functional addict, by which I mean 397 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: someone who relies on a specific drug is a performance 398 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: enhancer to help them in a task. There's other things. 399 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: People call it a functional lack. In this stance, I'm saying, like, 400 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: you're somebody who does a thing and you rely on 401 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: a drug to help you do that thing. So like 402 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: Lance Armstrong is yes, like Lance Armstrong, or like a 403 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: certain podcaster who may or may not be talking right now. 404 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: Let me give you an overview of how it works. First, 405 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: you're introduced to a new drug that hits just right. 406 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: And my guy, it's like falling in love. When you 407 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: discover a new substance that tickles your brain specifically in 408 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: a perfect way, it's one of the best feelings in 409 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: the world. The problem is, like new relationship energy, it 410 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: does not last. Um. So, first thing you fall in love, 411 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: you discovered all these situations in which this drug helps 412 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: you and makes things better. It makes life easier. But 413 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: gradually your body he gets used to it, it stops 414 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: hitting us hard. Sometimes the way that it changes works, right, 415 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: Like I haven't smoked pot in the years. I used 416 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: to for smoke pot every waking hour of every day, 417 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: and I have not in years because at some point, 418 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: probably as a result of the PTSD, it stopped. Like 419 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: I smoked it to work. I worked. The whole early 420 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: part of my career was built on it. Um. Again, 421 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: It's been a long time, long, long, long time since 422 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: I've smoked pot. But like when I did, it was 423 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: it was necessary, and then at a certain point I 424 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: wasn't able to work on it. So like that, then 425 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: that happens with a lot of different substance. It can 426 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: happen with everything, which is why you shouldn't do anything 427 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: every single day. Um, But that is kind of the way. No, 428 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: you should do lots of stuff. No, I mean like 429 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: people should do us in general. Yeah, like work, yes, absolutely, 430 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: like like like do less is my advice, less work, 431 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: more drugs, but don't switch them up. You know, take 432 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: acid one day, you know, then you take a little 433 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: bit of oxy then maybe you get drunk the next night, 434 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: then you smoke a bone the next day, and you 435 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: kind of cycle through it like that, and then you're 436 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: basically sober because you don't get addicted to anyone drug. 437 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: Nothing touches you anymore. Perfectly medically sound advice right there 438 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: from feels like you're winding up to an ad brick, 439 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: which you should be speaking of doing a lot of drugs. 440 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: You know what drugs you should do, the ultimate high, 441 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: the only real high capitalism, because baby spending money on 442 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: products and services that's high. You never get over that 443 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: ship and more absolutely, and there's no consequences whatsoever. No 444 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: one would ever claim that. For example, our addiction to 445 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: consumption and endless growth is in a lot of ways 446 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: very similar to how an opiate addiction works, where you 447 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: require greater and greater doses to have the same effect, 448 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: and eventually that can lead you to making miscalculations that 449 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: kills you, or in the case of a society, making 450 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: miscalculations about what is actually necessary that leads to the 451 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: death of the entire planet. It's not like that at all. 452 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: Here's some ads. We're back. Oh, so we just talked 453 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: about Hitler A bunch. We're gonna talk about Hitler some more, 454 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: but let's talk about the ver mock. How do you 455 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: feel about the r Moched Carolina A big r mocked stand. Um. Yeah, 456 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: you know me and my family, that's not really like 457 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: our story. But I'm curious on like how you feel. 458 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm a I'm a German military 459 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: history nerd. I find it fascinating. And one of the 460 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: problems when you're a German military history nerd is that 461 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: half of German military history nerds are cool people who 462 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: are interested for very good reasons because like all modern 463 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: military tactics are based off of the ship that the 464 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: German Imperial military and then the r Moched pioneered. Um, 465 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: and then there's Nazis. That's the other half of people 466 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: that stuff. Yeah, it's like, um, when you see people 467 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: collect World War Two memorabilia, Yes, it gets there's a 468 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: real Yeah, there's there's a line there. It seems like 469 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: you're only collecting one side. Yeah. But again and obviously 470 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: I I study the remarking part of what I study 471 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: about the Vermocht is the the outrageous amount of war 472 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: crimes they committed that we're out of proportion to to 473 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: really any other actor in that war. Um, you can 474 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: make some out. I mean on a per capita basis, 475 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: certainly out of out because like the Red Army in 476 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: the U. S. Army have plenty of atrocities they care 477 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: out in World War Two, But on a in terms 478 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: of a the amount of soldiers directly involved in crimes 479 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: against humanity to the RMACHED stay well, not alone, because 480 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: the Japanese Army exists but stands in pretty rarefied air, 481 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: you know. Um, and a big part of rmoched culture 482 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: was taken a shipload of meth. So yeah, I just 483 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: walked through a little bit about like what it's like 484 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: to be kind of a functional user of a drug, right, Um, 485 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: And if you are kind of using a drug to function, 486 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: it will eventually stop hitting his hard and the best 487 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: way to handle that is to take a break from it. Right. 488 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: If you find yourself just for coffee, right, I want 489 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: to guess most people listening to this are kind of 490 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: a functional addict of coffee or at least of caffeine. 491 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: Most people in Americans, Yes, so do I If you 492 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: find yourself being like Jesus, I actually I'm not feeling good. 493 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm taking way too much of this stuff, like I'm 494 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: it's not making me feel good. One of the best 495 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: things you could do is take a few weeks off, 496 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: you know, let your tolerance reset so you don't need 497 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: as much UM, and then try to restart and get 498 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: by it a lower dose with a kind of a 499 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: more moderate use of You know, that's not easy, but 500 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: it's it is the good idea to do if you, like, 501 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: are concerned about your level of consumption of a substance. 502 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: So that's the way it works for everybody, and kind 503 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: of with every substance, any substance that you would be 504 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 1: using on a daily basis the only and that's a 505 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,239 Speaker 1: doable thing. It's not easy, but it's doable. Now. The 506 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: problem is, if you're saying using methamphetamine to help you 507 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: fight for days without sleeping in order to anchor Europe, 508 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: you might find the process of adaptation of taking a 509 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks off a lot more difficult because you're 510 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of a war zone. You know, it's 511 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: kind of a bad place to like deal with coming 512 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: off of a substance UM. And this is the situation 513 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: the Nazis eventually found themselves in um and I'm gonna 514 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: quote from time here. The invasion of Poland in September 515 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: n served as the first real military test of the 516 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: drug in the field. Germany overran its eastern neighbor by October, 517 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: with a hundred thousand Polish soldiers killed in the attack. 518 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: The invasion introduced a new form of industrialized warfare Blitzkrieg. 519 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: This lightning war emphasized speed and surprise, catching the enemy 520 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: off guard by the unprecedented quickness of the mechanized attack 521 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: in advance. The weak link in the blitz Creek strategy 522 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: was the soldiers, who were humans rather than of course, machines, 523 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: and as such suffered from fatigue. They required regular rest 524 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: in sleep, which of course slowed down the military progress. 525 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: That is where privitin came in. Part of the speed 526 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: of the Blitzkreeg literally came from speed. As medical historian 527 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: Peter Steinkamp put it, blitz Creek was guided by meth amphetamine. 528 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: If not to say that blitz Creeg was founded on methamphetamine. 529 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: Now meth being meth soldiers quickly began reporting side effects. 530 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: There were heart attacks and other problems in the field. 531 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: The consequences, though were not nearly severe enough to outweigh 532 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: the value meth provided, but Reich health fewer. Leo Conti 533 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: did grow worried about the long term impact of such 534 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: drug abuse upon the flower of german Man And he's like, 535 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: all of our young men are taking meth all of 536 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: the time. This might not be good for our He's 537 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: also like, listen, they're doing a lot of other stuff too, 538 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: But like, I don't want this to ruin their futures. 539 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't want this to ruin yea. As they're as 540 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: they're rounding up Jewish people and committing masters, like, well, 541 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't want this to hurt their ability to get 542 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: a job something. Okay, Yeah. So and at this point 543 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: in time, most of the atrocities the Nazis would commit 544 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: had not yet been committed. Um, but they're getting it started. 545 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: They do a lot in Poland. They do a lot 546 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: of atrocities in Poland, and they're on meth for those atrocities. 547 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: Which is not to say that they're committing those atrocities 548 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: because of meth, but meth does make it a lot 549 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: easier to commit atrocities if you want, if you want 550 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: to get a lot of people to commit atrocities, without 551 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: sleeping for several days. Meta amphetaman is really your best bet, 552 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: you know. Or brown round. We could do some brown 553 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: round and record a podcast, Sophie, can we can? We 554 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: can we commit? Please listen. It's not going to help 555 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: you record a podcast, but it's gonna make it a 556 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: lot easier to record a podcast. Yeah, Sophie, I've got 557 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: all the gunpowder. All we need is the cocaine. You're 558 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: in l A. You can get it, okay, Well, alright, fine, 559 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: yeah they do. Saw it on average street corner here. Yeah. So. 560 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Leo Kanti grows concerned about the long term impact of 561 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: meth abuse on the health of German people. In late 562 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: nineteen and nineteen early inteen forties, Germany prepared to invade France, 563 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: he pushed for new regulations that insured prevented was only 564 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: available to citizens by prescription. So he makes it not 565 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: over the counter anymore for citizens not against Soldiers are 566 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: still getting issued this and of course the German people 567 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: largely ignored this dictate. You could find a doctor who 568 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: could get it to you. Factory workers, doctors, nurses, government beercrats, 569 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: everybody was on it like coma. Yeah, I have got comma, 570 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: give me my fucking meth. Uh. Timmler massively surged their production, 571 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: expanding to make more than eight hundred and thirty three 572 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: thousand tablets per day. Most soldiers received pills. During the 573 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: invasion of France, German servicemen to spense more than thirty 574 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: five million meth pills. That's some that's a good amount 575 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: of meth. That's like, that's like two and a half 576 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: Walter White's worth of methamphetas you know. Um. It was 577 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: also handed out in chocolate bars for pilots. Uh. And 578 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: for tank drivers you had, Yeah, you had Fliger chocolade 579 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: and Penzer Schokolade. So you had like tank chocolate and 580 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: fighter pilot chocolate. Um. And these were a little bit 581 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: more mellow. You didn't want to as kind of like 582 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: like hardcore a hit as you got with the pills 583 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: if you were like piloting a vehicle. Um. Oh that 584 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: makes sense. Cool cool, Yeah, I mean that's not that's 585 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: you know my motto, Sophie, only take half as much 586 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: meths if you're going to be pie letting an aircraft. Yeah, 587 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: you do that often. It's good advice. It's good advice. Um. 588 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: I like the idea of a pilot announcing himself to 589 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: all his passengers. I mean, like, and you guys, I 590 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: have some chocolate for this trip. I got I gotta 591 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: cho I got me a chocolate bar. Y'all pulled onto 592 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: your hats. Yeah, it's gonna be rad um. So that said. 593 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: So again, everyone was using it, but it's primary use. 594 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: And the people taking the most meth where the infantry, 595 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: the people marching. Most of the German military advanced on 596 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: foot for all the like, for all of the the 597 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: attention that blitz Creed gets. Most of their soldiers are 598 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: not in vehicles. Most of them don't even have horses. 599 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: Most of them are fucking walking um, and there's a 600 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: lot of walking to do, and so they take a 601 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: funkload of meth to allow them to walk for days. 602 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: And then after you've walked for two days straight, you 603 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: might need to get into a gunfight, so you want 604 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: to be alert, so you want to take a funkload 605 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: of meth. Historian Shelby Stanton writes, quote, they dispensed it 606 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: to the line. Troops of their army had to march 607 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: on foot day and night. It was more important for 608 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: them to keep punching during the blitz creeg than to 609 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep. The whole damn army was 610 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: hopped up. It was one of the secrets of blitz Creek. 611 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: When German tanks rolled around the magine O line and 612 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: began the mass encirclement of the French army, a few 613 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: key factors made their stunning victory possible. On an organizational level, 614 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 1: this was the concept of Alftrug's talk tak. This German 615 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: military concept vested an extreme degree of personal autonomy and 616 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: unit commanders. In other words, officers weren't expected to follow 617 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: orders and move them in into position. They were basically 618 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: instead of being said, okay, I want you to do this, 619 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: and I want you to move your men here and 620 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: take this objective, then move here and take this, they 621 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: were said, I need you to be in this location 622 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: honor before this time, and kind of up to you 623 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: to figure out like how to get your men there 624 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: and whatnot. So you have as like a company commander, 625 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: wa you have a lot of of discretion. And for 626 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: young tank officers like Erwin Rommel, this meant driving for 627 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: days ahead of the German art They were competing with 628 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: all the other units and so they weren't like they 629 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: weren't being told be here this point. They were told like, basically, 630 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: go as far as you fucking can. Yeah, and they were, 631 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: and they were trying to beat each other too, and 632 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: they were They were advancing with a greater speed than 633 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: any army had ever advanced, because number one, for the 634 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: first time, these small units are kind of empowered to like, 635 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: if you can go further, go further, don't wait for 636 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: approval to advance again, just fucking do it if you 637 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: think you can make it. And also they're on a 638 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 1: ship fload of meth amphetamine, and so it's this mix 639 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: of macho pride right there, competing with each other to 640 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: see who can go the furthest fastest um and also 641 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: fucking meth um, which synergized together really well. If you've 642 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: ever seen a bunch of real dudes hopped up on math, 643 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: dudes hopped up on meth, like, that's the r macht um. 644 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: And they advanced further and faster than any army ever 645 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: had in the history of warfare. And this attitude sees 646 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: the very mooch from the top down. General Hinz Guderian, 647 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: leader of the invasion, told his tank drivers, I demand 648 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: that you go sleepless for at least three nights if 649 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: that should be necessary. And again, there's no way to 650 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: do that functionally, that funkload of speed. You know you're 651 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: not You're not going to be able to functionally operate 652 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: armored vehicles for three straight nights in a row if 653 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: you're not taking something right us soldiers, it was a 654 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: fedron and uh and rip fuel and ship, but like 655 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: it was still something you need something. Um. There were, 656 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: of course, consequences to all this rampant meth abuse from 657 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: time Quote. Some users report negative side effects of the 658 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: drug during the French invasion. These included a lieutenant colonel 659 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: with the Panzer Air SATs Division one who experienced heart 660 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: pains after taking Prevented four times daily for as many weeks, 661 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: the commander of the twelfth Tank Division who rushed to 662 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: a military hospital due to the heart attack he suffered 663 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: an hour after taking one pill, and several officers who 664 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: suffered heart attacks will off duty after taking Prevented. A 665 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: decent number of officers died from this stuff, Conti continued. 666 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: The right Health Officer continued to warn other high ranking 667 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: Nazis that there was a serious danger to the Volkes 668 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: health in early German newspapers quoted the BBC, who credited 669 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: the blitz Creek success to meth pills. They'd captured Luftwaffe 670 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: pilots over Berlin with preventing in their emergency bags. Stories 671 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: spread from occupied France of German soldiers taking meth before 672 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 1: visiting brothels and handing out love pills to the girls 673 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: later that year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Nazis. I mean, Frances 674 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: famous for its brothels, and Nazis are famous for their 675 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: meth too. Great things that grow great together. It would 676 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: suck to get roofied, and it would suck to get 677 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: roofied with meth. Yeah, I don't know they're being ruthie 678 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: because meth is incredibly popular at this point. It's a 679 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: lot of them are probably just being like, hey, you 680 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: want to take some meth with me and fuck? And 681 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: that's I guess. If they're literally getting offered quote unquote 682 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: love pills, it's just um because they're not blacken out. Yeah, yeah, 683 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean they're being paid to. I don't know, it's 684 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a whole thing of all of the things 685 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: that Nazis do that are immoral. Paying sex workers doesn't 686 00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: really hit yeah, um, that's it. I mean, obviously, I'm 687 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: sure I don't know who knows how many times they 688 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: like trick people into eating pans or chocolate that don't 689 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: know that there's methane it right, because they want to 690 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: get the girl opted. I'm sure that happens. I'm sure 691 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: some of them get dosed without consenting because their Nazis 692 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: also they're men like they're they're young men in a 693 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: like for anyway, it's it's just ship that you know, 694 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: it's happen. It's common with every single military does versions 695 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: of this throughout history. The Nazis are just the first 696 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: ones who have access to meth. By the summer of 697 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: nineteen forty one, well the Virmacht prepared for Operation Barbarossa 698 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: County succeeded in pushing an amendment to the opium Law 699 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: that heavily restricted prevented from German citizens. The military was 700 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: exempted from this. Of course, the Vermocht had to blitz 701 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: another creek and they weren't going to do it sober. 702 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: The use of prevented during the Russian invasion is not 703 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: well documented. This is because the records the Nazis kept 704 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: up that period were largely lost or destroyed when the 705 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: war went pear shaped for them. The Official Journal of 706 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: German Military Physician to Publish Physicians published articles in nineteen 707 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: nineteen forty three that included letters from medical officers reporting 708 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: that they had been ordered to dose their soldiers with prebitin. 709 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: The best information we have suggests that it was just 710 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: as common as it had been in France. In fact, 711 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: military doctors found new uses for the drug. They mixed 712 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: it with morphine, creating crude speedballs in order to increase 713 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: the analgesic effect on wounded soldiers. You got shot, give 714 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: them some methanopium, like, give him a speedball. Like I'm 715 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: frat making jungle juice. It's like everything you have in 716 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: your pockets into this pale. Most of the vermk stuff 717 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: was transported on horseback, and the army found that giving 718 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: horses meth allowed them to work a lot harder and faster, 719 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: so their method up the horses. Why am I annoyed 720 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: by this so much? Like you said, they're doing like 721 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: so much worse ship, But I'm like, you just leave 722 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: the horses out of it. Why are you giving meth 723 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: to the horses? Guy, guys, guys, Nazis. You guys are 724 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: really really living up to the name right now, Yeah, 725 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: I feel like you all might not have everyone's best 726 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: interests at heart. Um so yeah, now again, so they 727 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: find a lot of new uses, and especially in the 728 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: early days because the German the advances in early Barbarosa 729 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: are just unprecedented, I think still unequaled in the history 730 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: of warfare in terms of like the length of time, 731 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: the number of there's there's single battles where they take 732 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand prisoners like in a day or like 733 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: or so a fighting like they they've got they've encircled 734 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: and just captured, like the population of Portland, Oregon. Like 735 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: it's this massive, massive And part of how it's possible 736 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: is they don't have to sleep for days because they're 737 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: on a funklet of mess. Now, if you've never taken 738 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: stimulants for days in order to drive or otherwise travel 739 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: long distances, I'll explain how it works. The first two 740 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: or three days are great. If you're young and healthy. 741 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: You can just take a nap after like forty seventy 742 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: two hours and then go hard for like another forty 743 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 1: eight hours, and you're gonna suffer minimal consequences. I say minimal, 744 00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: but what I mean is that the damage you're do 745 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,760 Speaker 1: into your body and mind won't be immediately obvious, especially 746 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: since listening to Alex Jones while pounding benz Adrien and 747 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: driving through the desert can be a lot of fun 748 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: when you're allegedly nineteen. Now after a few days less 749 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: if you're older, the speed stops working as well. You 750 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: may still be awake technically, but you won't be alert. 751 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: You'll be jittery, you'll start to hallucinate, you'll suffer heart palpitations. 752 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: You may not want to eat, which will will of 753 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: course make you crash even harder when the crash comes. 754 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: If you've been driving a bunch of mushrooms across the Southwest, 755 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: that's not such a big deal, because after you drive 756 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: a couple of days, you could stop and crash for 757 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: sixteen hours and your friends futon and you'll be fine. 758 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: German soldiers during Barbarossa didn't have a friend's futon to 759 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: crash on, and they weren't finishing up after a couple 760 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: of days. Again, they conquered Alex Jones, though they would have. 761 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: They would have liked Alex Jones. I mean not early 762 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: Alex Jones as much certainly today Alex Jones um so 763 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: German soldiers. During Barbarosa. Again, they had conquered more territory 764 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: more quickly than any army. At least tank units were 765 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: covering hundreds of miles in a space of days. The 766 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: problem with Russia, though, is that it's very big. There's 767 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: there's quite a lot of Russia, and the Russians just 768 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: kept retreating in France a few days of friends of 769 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: like they could they could go, let's let's none of 770 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: us sleep for like five days and we'll drive the 771 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: whole time, and we'll have conquered most of France and 772 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: like you know, we'll be well on our way to 773 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 1: winning this war. Um Russia didn't work that way because 774 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: there was so much of it left. So by the 775 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: time they reached the point where it's like, well, we 776 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: even on meth. We can't keep taking meth and not sleeping. 777 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: We're all crashing, We're not functional, we're hallucinating. We have 778 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: to stop and rest. Well, that point hit where they're 779 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: still in the fucking middle of Russian surrounded by enemies 780 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: who have not collapsed the way the French did, which 781 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,479 Speaker 1: is a bad situation to be in. Right, meth turns 782 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: out to maybe not be the best way to conquer Russia, um, 783 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: whereas it apparently it is pretty good if you're if 784 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: you're trying to conquer France. Historically meth could help. I 785 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: wouldn't recommend it if you're trying to conquer Russia and 786 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: a really bad hangover, as being in the middle of Russia, Yeah, 787 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: attacked by Red Army partisan, Yeah, you do not want 788 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: to be a coming down from three a three day 789 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: meth bender under heavy fire. It's very much like it 790 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: looks to camera. I wonder, like you want to know 791 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: how I ended up here? Bet you're wondering why I 792 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: ended up here. And it's just a montage of somebody 793 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: taking a bunch of meth pills driving a tank. Real 794 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: fest like World War two. Yeah. Yeah, So after the 795 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: first several weeks of Barbarosa, they had no time to recover, 796 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: and they hadn't won a victory. German soldiers at the 797 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: wrong end of a meth bender found themselves exhausted, sick, 798 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: and surrounded by an enemy just waiting to counteract a 799 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: bunch of racked ass infantry whose eyesight was probably eight 800 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: percent hallucinations. Norman Older quotes one German military doctor at 801 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: the time who wrote, I didn't take preventing myself, or 802 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: at least not often, just wants to try it to 803 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: know what I was prescribing. I can tell you it worked. 804 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: It kept you awake mercilessly. We knew it was addictive 805 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: and that it had health side effects psychosis, nervous excitement, 806 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: a loss of strength, and in Russia it was a 807 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: war of attrition. Positional warfare in such circumstances, prevented was 808 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: no use. It just exhausted you. You eventually had to 809 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: catch up on the rest you'd missed. Sleep deprivation simply 810 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: didn't bring any tactical advantages anymore. So they just reached 811 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: the point where this is again something that people who 812 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: get addicted always learned. The ship that used to work 813 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: don't work no more. That's how fucking meth works for 814 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: the Nazis in Russia, goes great in Poland and France, 815 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: and then suddenly the worm, you know, worms turned Now 816 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: in late nineteen forty one, the Russians counterattacked, the Wehrmacht held, 817 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: but they suffered severe casualties, and more importantly, the fact 818 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: that the Red Army had failed to collapse and in 819 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: fact been able to counter attack, punctured the myth of 820 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: German and vulnerability. Then came the Russian winter, which the 821 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: Germans were not prepared for. I'm not going to read 822 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:04,959 Speaker 1: like Merry Christmas married Chris, those motherfucker's this is our lives. Yeah, yeah, 823 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: I'm not going to relitigate the whole lost frontier, but 824 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: you know the gist of the story. The Russians used 825 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: their basically limited limitless manpower reserves to hurl attack after 826 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: attack against the Germans, eventually breaking through their lines and 827 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: encircling several armies. It was only when the tide turned 828 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: against Germany that prevented became useful again from blitzed. Often 829 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: the only thing that helped was prevented. One of many examples, 830 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: in the fishing village of the Zvod on the southern 831 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,760 Speaker 1: shore of Lake Limit between Moscow and Liningrad, the Germans 832 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: were encircled, their lodgings set on fire, rations arriving only 833 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: sporadically from the ice cold air. One last tiny window 834 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: of escape was open, and five d exhausted men loaded 835 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: with heavy bags and machine guns over their shoulders began 836 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: a fourteen hour night march through waist deep snow. Soon 837 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: many men were, as the official Wehrmacht report has it, 838 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 1: in a state of extreme exhaustion. The snowfall had stopped 839 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: from around midnight and the sky was filled with stars. 840 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: Innervated soldiers wanted to lie down in the snow. In 841 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: spite of energetic pep talks there power could not be revived. 842 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: Such men were each given to permit and tablets after one. 843 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: After half an hour, the firstman confirmed they felt better. 844 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 1: If you're trying to retreat across Russia and need to 845 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: be able to march after not sleeping through the snow 846 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,879 Speaker 1: in the dark. Math might help again. But by that 847 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: point you know the war had gone against them. But 848 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: you know what never goes against you. I'm trying to 849 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: think what you're coming up with here, because it can't 850 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: be capitalism. It's it's the products and services that support 851 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: this podcast. Always. They always have your back, always, always, 852 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: allegedly allegedly allegedly. All right, here's the ads. We're back. 853 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: All right, so we had some fun with the very 854 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: mocked Um. I want to I'll tell one last story 855 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: about this is about the German navy so very late 856 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: in the war, like I think the German you know, 857 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: their navy is not doing great. Nothing's really doing great 858 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: for the Germans, and they decide their best idea is 859 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: to create these suicide boats. They're basically torpedoes piloted by 860 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:12,720 Speaker 1: a man that he can suicide bomb a worship with um. 861 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: And the idea was you would just seal a man 862 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: in there and he would just like go for days 863 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: until he found something to hit. And the best way 864 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: to do that was they gave him speedballs, like this 865 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: mix of meth amphetamine and opium on like basically methan oxy. 866 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: He was just like taking methan oxy trapped inside a 867 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: metal coffin underwater, like trying to find something to blow 868 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: himself up into. Yeah, it's pretty good. So as the 869 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: war in Russia bogged down and turned into a nightmare, 870 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: Hitler's physical health began to degrade rapidly. This may have 871 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: had something to do with his living conditions. For most 872 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,280 Speaker 1: of the war, Hitler cloistered himself away in a dank, 873 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: mosquito filled complex in eastern Prussia known as the Wolf Slayer, 874 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: and basically everyone who isn't Hitler fucking hates it here 875 00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: Um like it's a it's a miserable place. Um, it's cramped, 876 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: it's it's basically these like tomb like bunkers because so 877 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: they can't get bombed. They're like windowless. The area around 878 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 1: it is like filled with mosquitoes. You're in the middle 879 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: of nowhere. Um. It's just like everyone but Hitler pretty 880 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 1: much hates it. Hitler, though, has grown increasingly paranoid in irrational, 881 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 1: and so he likes the isolation. He likes being surrounded 882 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: by these like thick walls of concrete and like um 883 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: and this really worries the people close to him. During 884 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: this time, Joseph Gebbels wrote tragic that the fur is 885 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: closing himself off from life like this and leading such 886 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: a disproportionately unhealthy existence. He no longer gets any fresh air. 887 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't take any kind of relaxation. He just sits 888 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 1: in his bunker the same music. It doesn't even like, 889 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: the same must hung out man wanted to watch. One 890 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 1: of the few people who had constant access to the 891 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: few was Theodore Morrell. Through the war, he would inject 892 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 1: more than eighty dif and substances mixed together and dozens 893 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: of different concoctions. Again, it's impossible to say how much 894 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 1: of Hitler's growing irrationality was due to the wild mix 895 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: of hormones and drugs Morrell pumped into him, but Hitler's 896 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: general's noticed a difference in his behavior. In mid nineteen 897 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: forty two, Field Marshal Eric von Manstein tried to convince 898 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: Hitler to alter his plans in the Southeastern Front, where 899 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 1: the dictator had diverted crucial forces from the main battlefield. 900 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: As the Russians threatened to break through, critical decisions needed 901 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: to be made, and Hitler was the guy to make 902 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: them because he made himself commander in chief of the military. 903 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 1: Manstein wrote quote as before no full decisions are being made. 904 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: It is as if the fewer is not capable of it. 905 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 1: Norman Ohler suspects that Hitler's issue here stemmed apart from 906 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: the wild change in his life the war brought. Prior 907 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: to the invasions, Hitler addressed his people constantly he was 908 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,720 Speaker 1: in some ways a drug for the German people because 909 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: being in a crowd like that, being hyped up. Look 910 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: at the Trump rallies, right, it is a drug going 911 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,879 Speaker 1: to that. Having that kind of experience with the people 912 00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: who do it, they get addicted to it, and the 913 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: person the demagogue gets addicted to it. Hitler was very 914 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: much addicted to the adulation of crowds. It affects your 915 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: brain in a way that's is psychochemically powerful. But when 916 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: the word and the bombing started, Hitler had to stop 917 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: putting himself in front of his people, and so he 918 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,280 Speaker 1: suddenly loses access to this thing that he's really psychologically 919 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: addicted to. From blitzed, Hitler now missed those ecstasies that 920 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,760 Speaker 1: his appearances had previously prompted, and which had always amounted 921 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: to a new injection of the pepped up feeling that 922 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: was so important to his self esteem. In his isolation, 923 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: all pleasure and energy previously received from the attention of 924 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,280 Speaker 1: a cheering crowd had to be replaced by chemicals, further 925 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: cocooning the dictator. He was the person who eventually needed 926 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: artificial charging. In a sense Morel's drugs and medicines replaced 927 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: the old stimulus of mass ovations. The sounds like one 928 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: like a child actor doesn't become an actor, and then 929 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: it's yeah, yeah, Hitler. Hitler's having what we might call 930 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: them a coldie Culkin effect. There's a lot of similarities 931 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: between them. I'm joking, I'm being mean to McCauley Culkin, 932 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 1: who gave my friend a lap dance once. Um yeah, 933 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: on his birthday. It was very nice. Um yeah, I've 934 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 1: actually he seems to be a very nice guy. Very 935 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 1: little in common with Hitler other than that they were 936 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: both child stars, you know. And in fact, Hitler's original 937 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 1: version of Home Alone, some would say is even superior, 938 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: but heavily debated um. In late nineteen forty two, the 939 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: Russians broke through around Stalingrad, encircling the German sixth Army. 940 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,760 Speaker 1: Hitler refused to allow them to break out and retreat, 941 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: as that would mean ending the siege of the city. Um. 942 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 1: He basically was like, if you guys really were not 943 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: really like me, you'll you'll, you'll find a way to 944 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: win somehow. Gering promised him that the Luftwaffe could would 945 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,720 Speaker 1: be able to keep hundreds of thousands of been supplied 946 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 1: by the air which was a ridiculous promise. The US 947 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: does manage something like this in Berlin after the war, 948 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: the Berlin Airlift were like, there's this kind of conflict 949 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: with USSR and so like the chunk of Berlin we 950 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 1: have is kind of cut off. We can't refuel it 951 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 1: by car and they have to like drop in supplies. Um. 952 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 1: But it's just with with kind of the planes that 953 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,399 Speaker 1: the Leftwaffe has UM, with the technology they have, there's 954 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: just no way to do it. Um. But Hitler believed 955 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: Garing um and wound up learning that Garing was just 956 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 1: a piece of ship and the liar um which surprise 957 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: they all were UM. So by December nine that had 958 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: become clear that Gering had no ability to keep the 959 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: sixth Army supplied. Hitler was very angry at this um 960 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: and Morrell noted that day that has suffered his patient 961 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 1: suffered from intestinal gases, halitosis, and discomfort by the ne 962 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: The war was decidedly not fun anymore, and the bad 963 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: news increasingly outnumbered the good. Hitler asked his physician if 964 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: he might try a new medication, cardia is all, which 965 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: Garring had advised him to try for anxiety, since Hitler 966 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: had heart problems. Morrell thought this was a bad idea. 967 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: It was a blood thinner, I think, but older rights 968 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: he understood this as a call to action Hitler, and 969 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: he did something stronger to call him his nerves. The 970 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: eventual drug he picked was an opiate called Yuka do All, 971 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: which is basically oxy right like you all is kind 972 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: of the same thing as oxy, close enough for government work. 973 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 1: He first dozed Hitler with it on July eighteenth. Germany 974 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: had just sent the best of its elite troops and 975 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: tank forces into a massive battle with the Russians at 976 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: a place called Kursk. The battle ended with Russian victory 977 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: and over a million estimated casualties. It marked the last 978 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,280 Speaker 1: significant defense of the Germans would make in the East. Like, yeah, 979 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,359 Speaker 1: a single battle, um where there are more casualties than 980 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: in the US Civil War, Like curse is a nightmare. 981 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, eight hundred thousand Russian, two hundred 982 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,880 Speaker 1: thousand or so German and this is the last. This 983 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 1: is kind of like when the German armies stops being 984 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: capable of offensives in the East, is cursed. So obviously 985 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: not a good day for Hitler. He's kind of bummed 986 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: out about this, right, His favorite toy is broken. He's 987 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to shoot himself in a bunker. You know, 988 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,760 Speaker 1: we've all been there in our own ways. I wonder 989 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: what Gerbel's diary, and it was that day. Hitler sad. Yeah, 990 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 1: Hitler really right now, Yeah, he's oh, he has so 991 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: bombed out. He's kind of bringing us all down just 992 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: because he got a million men killed for nothing, well, 993 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: killed and wounded. Hitler was devastated by the defeat, and 994 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: his normal mix of hormones, steroid speed and vitamins was 995 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: not enough. From blitzed. Hitler saw all his hopes going 996 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: up in smoke, and because of the imminent betrayal of 997 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 1: the Italian army, we were about to surrender. He had 998 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 1: not slept a wink. As Morrell wrote, body tensed hard 999 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: as a board full of gases, very pale appearance, extremely 1000 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: nervous tomorrow, very important discussion with I Duce that's Mussolini. 1001 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: In the middle of the night, Morrell was dragged from 1002 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,800 Speaker 1: his bed by heinz Ling Hitler's valet. The Fewer was 1003 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: bent double with pain and an immediate cure was required. 1004 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: The white cheese he had had for dinner, as well 1005 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: as the roulade with spinach and peas, had disagreed with him. 1006 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: Morrell gave him an injection, but the basic medical treatment 1007 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 1: didn't work. The doctor wondered feverishly what needed to be 1008 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: done to combat the great attack in this precarious situation. 1009 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 1: He knew it's something that worked, something that would numb 1010 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: Hitler severe pain and keep him functioning. He needed an 1011 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,280 Speaker 1: ace up his sleeve, and in fact he did have something, 1012 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: but its use was risky. For the second quarter of 1013 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 1: nineteen forty three. In the bottom right corner of the 1014 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: file card Patient A A Substances listed an underline several times, 1015 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 1: you could all this is the point at which he 1016 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: starts giving Hitler oxy. Hitler gets. Hitler gets like, you know, 1017 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: small town America addicted at this point. Um, And as 1018 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: you might guess from what happened to small town America 1019 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 1: when oxy went rampant, it does not have a positive 1020 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: impact on Hitler. It's not really good for anyone. Avoid 1021 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: being addicted to oxy content would be my advice if 1022 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 1: you're considering it. If you're on the line right now 1023 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,439 Speaker 1: being like, should I get addicted to oxy? No? We say, 1024 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: we have a small opinion, but ours is now is no. 1025 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 1: No as well, no oxy? Yeah, stick with meth healthy 1026 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 1: meth amphetamine. Okay, So you could all had a massive 1027 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 1: and immediate positive impact on Hitler. His mood improved, He 1028 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 1: grew up to miss stick elated even, and he became 1029 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: much easier to work with. People around him were like, Wow, 1030 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: Hitler is a lot more pleasant when he's doped up. 1031 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, if I had to hang out 1032 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 1: with Hitler every day, you would want him to be high, right. 1033 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: You don't want to deal with sober Hitler or Hitler 1034 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: coming down like Jesus. Anything to the literally, give him 1035 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,280 Speaker 1: any of yeah, shoot him with grab some from a pig, 1036 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: put it in him. Let's try it. Yeah, what other 1037 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,280 Speaker 1: animals we got? Find a monkey, see if monkey stuff 1038 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: works in him. Um So, Morrell kept injecting the leader. 1039 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes he would mix stimulants earlier in the day with 1040 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: opiates later in the day to calm him down. And 1041 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 1: from this point forward, Hitler was more or less constantly 1042 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: on something generally you could all every other day and 1043 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,720 Speaker 1: particularly during key moments of decision. In his last meeting 1044 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: with Mussolini, a U S. Secret Service report noted that 1045 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: Hitler spoke for three hours without a break. Um so, 1046 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: Ohler writes quote. Mussolini had actually planned to convince Hitler 1047 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 1: that it would be better for everyone if Italy came 1048 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 1: out of the war, but all he did was need 1049 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 1: his painful back from time to time dab his forehead 1050 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 1: with a handkerchief or side deeply. The door kept opening 1051 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: to pass on new reports about the bombing of Rome, 1052 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,359 Speaker 1: which was happening at that very moment. Mussolini couldn't even 1053 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 1: comment on this because Hitler was talking NonStop to a 1054 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: room full of painfully embarrassed people about how no one 1055 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: should doubt the imminent victory of the access powers. The 1056 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 1: dejected duche was effectively talked into the ground by the 1057 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,240 Speaker 1: artificially pept up Fewer the result of the meeting Italy 1058 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: would stick at it for the time being. Morrell felt vindicated. 1059 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 1: He seemed to have maneuvered at high level politics with 1060 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,040 Speaker 1: his injections, and he noted self importantly fewer fitting well, 1061 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: no complaints whatsoever. On the return flight, fearer declared in 1062 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,719 Speaker 1: the ober Salzburg in the evening that the success of 1063 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 1: the day was to my credit. So Hitler's just fucking 1064 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 1: racked and spun and talks for three out, won't even 1065 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: let Mussolini say anything, and essentially like Mussolini's too like 1066 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: awfully awkward yeah to just to try to pull out 1067 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: of the war at this juncture. So that's cool, fun stuff. 1068 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we've all hung out with the guy who 1069 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 1: was that kind of high at a party, right, Yeah, 1070 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 1: and we've always we've all stayed in a world war 1071 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: at one point benefit and we're like, I just didn't 1072 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 1: know what to say. Yeah, I wanted to pull my 1073 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 1: forces out of the war before the Allies invaded. But 1074 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: like it's the tale as oldest time party. You're like, 1075 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't want you to see me leave. You feel 1076 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: like I left too early. Hard to irish goodbye from 1077 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 1: a war exactly exactly good ship um so well, he 1078 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 1: was shooting a constant stream of narcotics and animal extracts 1079 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 1: into the veins of the mightiest warlord in history. Theodore 1080 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: Morrell was also running an increasingly elaborate side hustle. Hitler 1081 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 1: needed him so constantly that he could not run his 1082 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: own private practice, but his connection to the leader allowed 1083 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: him to steal a shipload of stuff. He was given 1084 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 1: one of the largest cooking oil manufacturers in Czechoslovakia, which 1085 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: had been stolen from its Jewish owners. He used the 1086 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: factory to produce an anti louse powder of his own invention, 1087 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 1: which did not work, but was mandatory for the Wehrmacht 1088 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 1: because again dudes connected his big setter sell. His big 1089 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: seller was Vita molten bars. These were an edible version 1090 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 1: of the vitamin shots he distributed so freely. Morrel also 1091 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 1: increasingly experimented with hormones derived from animal organs. When Ukraine 1092 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 1: was conquered by the Nazis, he used his connections to 1093 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: take possession of several slaughterhouses worth of fresh animal organs 1094 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: and diverted scant Vermocht resources to ferrying these organs to 1095 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: his factories so they could be turned into experimental hormone medications. 1096 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: Now by three, the Reich Health Office had instituted a 1097 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: ban on introducing new medicine into the German market. This 1098 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 1: threatened Morrell's business, but he found a way to get 1099 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: around it. Since Hitler was at this point deeply reliant 1100 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: on the doctor, Morrell was allowed to experiment on Hitler 1101 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: with different extractions and injections. He argued successfully that if 1102 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 1: his drugs were safe for Hitler, they must be safe 1103 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: for the German people. Morrell wrote this to the right 1104 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: health office. The fewer has authorized me to do the 1105 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: following if I bring out in TESTI remedy and then 1106 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: apply it in the fewer's headquarters and apply it successfully, 1107 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: then it can be applied elsewhere in Germany and no 1108 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: longer needs authorization. It's a good add slogan. M Yeah, 1109 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 1: if it's good for the fear, why can't you date it? Yeah? Yeah. Um. 1110 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,720 Speaker 1: As the war turned, other Nazis dealt with more anxiety 1111 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: over their imminent doom, Morrell began handing out his medications 1112 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 1: to the people closest to Hitler, including Ava Brown. She 1113 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: noticed the impact Merrell's drugs had on her partner's mood, 1114 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: and she wanted the same stuff. And Older suggests this 1115 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: is because like she wanted to she wanted to function, 1116 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 1: want to be intimate with her with her romantic partner, 1117 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: and he was racked as hell all the time. She 1118 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 1: was like, well, if we're going to be intimate, I 1119 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: need to be on whatever he's on, right, Like, we 1120 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 1: need to be on the same thing, otherwise it's going 1121 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 1: to be impossible to connect, which I guess is understandable. Um, 1122 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: and yeah, not ecstasy. It's like, yeah, it's it's it's well, 1123 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about what it is. So Hitler was injected 1124 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 1: with testosterone for his libido, and Brown was given medication 1125 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 1: to suppress her menstruation. They were both given regular injected 1126 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: speedballs mixes of uppers and downers by Morrel so that 1127 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: they would be in the same headspace and stuff just 1128 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: given the best chance of being able to bone. Now, 1129 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,959 Speaker 1: from his first you Could All injection in nineteen forty 1130 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 1: three to the end of nineteen forty four, Morrel it 1131 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: noted administering you Could All at least twenty four times. 1132 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 1: Older suggests the real number was much higher. And just 1133 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 1: as with his meth, Morrell didn't always write out what 1134 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: he was giving the fury. Sometimes, just like an injection 1135 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: that included some of that, you know, you wouldn't know 1136 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 1: exactly what was in it. It would be fair to 1137 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 1: critique Older for speculation here, But when you take in 1138 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: the sheer quantity of injections Morrell gave Hitler, and the 1139 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: variety of substances that flowed through his brain, and the 1140 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: reports of people around him, I don't think he's unreasonable 1141 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: and suggesting Hitler was taking and and you know there's 1142 01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,880 Speaker 1: other evidence to the just he was taking a lot 1143 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,919 Speaker 1: of uk at all um So he makes his case, 1144 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: in part by noting reports from those close to Hitler 1145 01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,919 Speaker 1: about the severity of his mood swings on critical days, 1146 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: and this is probably most notable with D Day, which 1147 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:15,480 Speaker 1: is obviously pretty important day for a Hitler quote. Hitler's 1148 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 1: mood on D Day, another nail in the coffin for 1149 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 1: the Nazi state, was subject to severe fluctuations. At nine 1150 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 1: in the morning, he is said to have bellowed across 1151 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 1: the breakfast room. Is this the invasion or isn't it? 1152 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: When Morrell hurried over and gave him an injection of X, 1153 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 1: he calmed down, suddenly appeared affable and lighthearted, enjoyed the 1154 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,440 Speaker 1: day and the fine weather, and clapped everyone he met 1155 01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 1: jovially on the shoulder. At the mid day, it's D Day, 1156 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 1: It's d D Yeah. At the midday briefing, in spite 1157 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 1: of the looming military disaster, to everyone's astonishment, he revealed 1158 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: a beaming face, and at the lunch that followed siminola 1159 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: dumpling soup, mushrooms in a ring of rice, apt ful strudle, 1160 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 1: he fell into one of his endless distracted monologues. This 1161 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: time it was about elephants, which were the strongest animals 1162 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 1: in existence and which, like him, abhorred meat. Next, Hitler 1163 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 1: described in detail the horrors of a slaughter house he 1164 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,440 Speaker 1: visited an occupied Poland. Girls in rubber boots had weighted 1165 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: in blood up to their ankles. Meanwhile, Morel was preparing 1166 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: his next injection, made from the glands of slaughtered animals. 1167 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe that Hitler is literally like reciting from 1168 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Saffron Fower's eating animals, and like, at the same time, dude, 1169 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,320 Speaker 1: you know how strong elephants are. They don't eat meant, 1170 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 1: they're just like me. I'm like an elephant. It is 1171 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 1: a great co rant or I guess, yeah, oxy and 1172 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,360 Speaker 1: probably meth amphetamine. Like he's getting a bit of a 1173 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 1: bit of a bit of b um. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Um, 1174 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. And also that he's ranting about how 1175 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,600 Speaker 1: horrible the meat industry is well being shot up with 1176 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 1: animal hormones that had been Yeah, the product of that industry. Um, 1177 01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 1: it's good stuff. It's good stuff. Of Course, Hitler had 1178 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 1: always suffered from bizarre mood swings and from delusions, but 1179 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: Ohler is right that people close fewer noted his mental degradation, 1180 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: and again I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that 1181 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,080 Speaker 1: the constant doses of hormones and narcotics shot into a 1182 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: fifty something year old man sped up this process. Late 1183 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: in the war, a Nazi named Klaus von Staffenberg tried 1184 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 1: to kill Hitler with a briefcase bomb. It didn't take, 1185 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 1: but it did blow out both of Hitler's ear drums. 1186 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 1: An ear, nose and throat specialist was brought in, Dr 1187 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Irvin Geissing, and he was immediately horrified at the fewer's health. 1188 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 1: And from geising we get our really interesting descriptions of 1189 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,560 Speaker 1: Hitler in this period of time. Quote. The face was pale, 1190 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 1: slightly swollen, and there were large bags under both bloodshot eyes. 1191 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: The eyes did not make the fascinating impressions so often 1192 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 1: ascribed to them in the press. I was particularly struck 1193 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 1: by the wrinkles from either side of the nose to 1194 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: the outer corner of the mouth, and by the dry, 1195 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,920 Speaker 1: slightly cracked lips. His hair was already clearly mixed with 1196 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 1: gray and rather unkimped. The face was well shaven, but 1197 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: with but with somewhat withered skin, which I attribute to fatigue. 1198 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 1: The speech was a naturally loud and tended towards a 1199 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: shout and later became somewhat hoarse and aged, almost depleted, 1200 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 1: an exhausted man who had to make do with what 1201 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: was left of his strength. Hitler, it's like crying, yeah, 1202 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: listening to the cure. Yeah. Hitler was clearly an ill man, 1203 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: and when he met Morrell. When Dr Geesing met Morrell 1204 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: and started to learn what was being given to the leader, 1205 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 1: he was furious. And it's also from Geeszing that we 1206 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: get some of our best information on how the doctor 1207 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: conducted himself during this time. So this is Geesing writing 1208 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 1: about Morrell giving Hitler his treatment. Quote. Morrell comes in distinctly, 1209 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: short of breath and panting. He shakes only Hitler's hand 1210 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,919 Speaker 1: and asks asks agitatedly whether anything in particular happened during 1211 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,919 Speaker 1: the night. Hitler says no, he slept well and even 1212 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 1: adjested the previous night's salad without any difficulty. Then, with 1213 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 1: the help of Ling, he takes off his coat, sits 1214 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: back in his armchair, and pulls up his left sleeve. 1215 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 1: Morrell gives Hitler the injections. He pulls the needle out 1216 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 1: again and wipes the punk true site with a handkerchief. 1217 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: Then he leaves the room and goes into the office, 1218 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 1: holding in his right hand that you syringed and in 1219 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: the left empty am puels, one large and too small. 1220 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 1: He goes with the ham pules into syringe into the 1221 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: adjacent orderly's bathroom, rinses the syringe out himself, and destroys 1222 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the empty ampules by throwing them in the toilet. Then 1223 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: he washes his hands, comes back into the office and 1224 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 1: says goodbye to everyone present. That's Hitler Steeler right there, 1225 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 1: just heading out, just heading out, and also like flushing 1226 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: everything to make sure people can't like check it out, 1227 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 1: analyze it, see what's in it. You know. Some of 1228 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: that's probably because this is how he makes his money, 1229 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, keeping like you know, he's running a business. 1230 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 1: He's selling versions of this stuff. Some of it's probably 1231 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: because he doesn't want Hitler's other doctors to know what 1232 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the funk Hitler's being given, like the fact that he's, yeah, 1233 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the stuff that I've been doping up our leader, you know. Yeah. 1234 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: And the two doctors quickly came to hate each other. 1235 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 1: Obviously one of them, I mean there, we'll talk about it. 1236 01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: They're both a little bit sketchy, but morrel is obviously 1237 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: much sketch year um. Dr Geesing, though was not straight 1238 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: edge either. His preferred treatment for ear, nose and throat 1239 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 1: medical stuff was cocaine. And so after this point he 1240 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,280 Speaker 1: administered coke to Hitler in the form of nose and 1241 01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: throat dabs more than yuh, this is what you've been missing. 1242 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 1: You just needed a little bit of coke. That'll get 1243 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: your Hitler going. That'll Hitler. You're right on up, buddy, um. 1244 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: And so after this point he administered cocaine to Hitler 1245 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 1: more than fifty times over the next seventy five days. 1246 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: He used an extremely strong ten percent solution and absolutely 1247 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 1: got the German leader high as fuck. In fact, Hitler 1248 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,440 Speaker 1: was noted by his doctors having quote slight cocaine sniffed 1249 01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 1: during this period. So he's got the drip, He's like, 1250 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: he's he's he's got the coke sniff going on. Yeah. 1251 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: He quickly took it for more than just ear problems, 1252 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 1: telling Geesing after one dose, my mind is freed again 1253 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: and I feel very well. Then, adding please don't turn 1254 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,480 Speaker 1: me into a cocaine addict, Geeseing assured him that realitics 1255 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,800 Speaker 1: snorted cocaine can't be an addict if you're dropping it 1256 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: into your fucking eye. Bro, That's what I say. That's 1257 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: how that's so. It keeps you from being addicted. You 1258 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: just drop it into your fucking eye. You don't be 1259 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 1: snarting it like an addict. That's gross. Like you, guys, 1260 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 1: please don't if if you think this is a problem 1261 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 1: of I'm like being an asshole, just tell me. Yeah, 1262 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 1: just be honest. If you think I'm out of do 1263 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: you think I'm out of control and you think I'm 1264 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 1: doing too much coke, my coke dealer? No, bro, You're good, 1265 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 1: You're beautiful bro um. Yeah. Now, Geeson was though a 1266 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 1: better doctor than Morrel, and he eventually grew unsettled by 1267 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he was essentially now the coke dealer, 1268 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 1: if the absolute ruler of his country. He tried to 1269 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: cut off Hitler's supply, and this did not go over well. 1270 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: Hitler was like, I've got an important meeting. I can't 1271 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: function because my ears hurt so bad. You have to 1272 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 1: give me a shipload of cocaine. Um, And he was like, no, 1273 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give any more coke. Hitler said, 1274 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 1: quote no doctor continuous before this morning. I have a 1275 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 1: terrible robbing head that probably comes from the sniffing. Concerned 1276 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: for the future and the continued existence of Germany are 1277 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 1: consuming me more and more with each passing day. I 1278 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,200 Speaker 1: need the coke, man. I'm just so worried about Germany 1279 01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 1: doing because I love I'm doing coke for my love 1280 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,680 Speaker 1: of the fatherland. Like it's just about the fatherland, you know, 1281 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 1: classic coke had excuse um soe Geesing refused though, like said, like, no, 1282 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you any more fucking cocaine 1283 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,480 Speaker 1: and petulant Hitler refused to show up to his military 1284 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,479 Speaker 1: briefings that day and deal with the fact that his 1285 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,720 Speaker 1: army was collapsing. You don't give me coke. I'm not 1286 01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 1: going to make sure that I'm not gonna give the 1287 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 1: army orders like fucking Hitler. I'm not gonna put on 1288 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: pants if I don't have coke. Yeah, so Geesing eventually 1289 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 1: was convinced to relent. I think the generals were like, dude, 1290 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 1: we can't give orders without him, Like we're not allowed to. 1291 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 1: You have to you have to do something, or you 1292 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 1: have to give him his fucking coke. Um and so 1293 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: uh He relented and he gave Hitler's some cocaine to 1294 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,600 Speaker 1: save the German Army, but he demanded that if he 1295 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: was going to give Hitler the coke he had to 1296 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,679 Speaker 1: give Hitler had to allow him to give the fewer 1297 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 1: a full medical checkout check up, which Geeseing did and 1298 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: eventually came to suspect that the anti farting pills Morrell 1299 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 1: had prescribed Hitler were causing some of the Feurer's health problems. 1300 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: He attempted to use this to force the physician out 1301 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 1: of Hitler's inner circle and perhaps even have him prosecuted. 1302 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 1: And there were a lot of folks close to Hitler 1303 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 1: who were worried about Morrell, who were like, this guy 1304 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,719 Speaker 1: is doping the leader up. It's not good for Hitler, 1305 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 1: Like we gotta get this guy out of here, but 1306 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,640 Speaker 1: Hitler likes him too much um And they kind of 1307 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,760 Speaker 1: tried to back this effort to force Morrell out, but 1308 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 1: it just didn't work, as Hitler's first and best drug dealer, 1309 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: Morrell was just dug in too tight. As the Red 1310 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 1: Army closed in at the end of nineteen forty four, 1311 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,360 Speaker 1: Hitler and Morrell had both retreated into a bunker under Berlin. 1312 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 1: Hitler by this point was jaundiced, as his liver had 1313 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 1: started to fail and his Parkinson's was advanced enough that 1314 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,920 Speaker 1: he shook constantly. Morrell had to cancel several injections because 1315 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: the fewer's veins had collapsed. Right, that's like advanced smack 1316 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 1: addict stuff that like your veins aren't working anymore. It 1317 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 1: was reported that like when he when he would get 1318 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: an injection, it would crunch, like his veins were crunchy. 1319 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:20,640 Speaker 1: He was a advanced addict um at this stage. Um 1320 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 1: so yeah. Still, though Morrell continued to shoot Hitler full 1321 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 1: of opium and hormones as often as possible, it is 1322 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 1: probable that these opiates contributed quite a lot to Hitler's 1323 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: g I issues. They can cause constipation, and there was 1324 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 1: using so frequently that he had significant issues with this. 1325 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,800 Speaker 1: Morrel's notes state that the German leader had regular painful 1326 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 1: wind as his body fell apart. His guards in the 1327 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 1: bunker wrote entries like this about Hitler's bodily functions. Quote 1328 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 1: from four to from four until six four evacuations, two 1329 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 1: of which were weaker and two very strong. At the 1330 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,560 Speaker 1: second after the passage of an obstruction explosive water evacuation. 1331 01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,640 Speaker 1: The third and fourth were very foul smelling, and particularly 1332 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 1: the four probably a decomposing agglomeration that had previously been 1333 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 1: left behind and had become a cause of gases in 1334 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 1: the formation of toxic substances, regularly improved condition and change 1335 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 1: of facial expression. He only card called me to impart 1336 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: the happy news of this effect, which is one of 1337 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 1: the undertold stories of the last Nazis around. Hitler is 1338 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 1: the third, right collapsed. We're just like standing there, like 1339 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,240 Speaker 1: listening to him ship his guts out, like recording how 1340 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,719 Speaker 1: bad it smelled. Which is I love that for Nazis. 1341 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 1: Actually it's yeah, yeah, I love that for them. As 1342 01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,080 Speaker 1: the Red Army closed in, Morrell finally lost his ability 1343 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 1: to provide his boss with the drugs he by this 1344 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,679 Speaker 1: point badly needed again. Like there just was no ability 1345 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,080 Speaker 1: to get more of them, right, Germany's industrial base had 1346 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: fucking collapsed, um And when Morrell ran out of drugs, 1347 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,400 Speaker 1: he and Hitler had a falling out. Hitler suddenly like 1348 01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 1: starts threatening to have him executed, and like it's like again, 1349 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,640 Speaker 1: as soon as he can't get the dope, Morrell is 1350 01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 1: out on his ass and yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's 1351 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: forced out of the bunker and he's successfully is like 1352 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 1: one of the last people to flee Berlin. He does 1353 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 1: get captured by the Allies, He's questioned turned for more 1354 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: than a year, and he dies soon after the war, 1355 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 1: impoverished and miserable. And of course we all know how 1356 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Hitler died. So how I'm just kidding. Good story, having 1357 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 1: a good time. It's good stuff. It kind of is 1358 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 1: like a Marvel movie. I would in a Marvel movie. 1359 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 1: I would indie movie that came out where Paul Daniel 1360 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: Daniel Radcliffe are dealing with a farting corpse on a beach. 1361 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 1: It's like the marriage of those two. Yeah, I mean 1362 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 1: that would be uh, that'd be a great Daniel Radcliffe 1363 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,839 Speaker 1: could be Hitler. Um, Paul Rudd could be Theodore Morrell. 1364 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: James Gunn could direct. Um. Yeah, let's do it. Throw 1365 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 1: iron Man in there too, for some reason? Why not? 1366 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? All right? Well, Carolina, how you feeling. 1367 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,960 Speaker 1: I am feeling like the public and private school system 1368 01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 1: failed me by not addressing these issues, um and not 1369 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 1: telling me these corners of history. And also I am 1370 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 1: feeling drug free. I'm feeling inspired to stay drug free 1371 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,439 Speaker 1: for a while. And when I say drug free and 1372 01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: not just the normy stuff, but I feel like not 1373 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:29,599 Speaker 1: smoking meth is at this point an accomplishment. Yes, and 1374 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: don't don't don't do meth. We were just I don't 1375 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: think it would make me into a nath but you 1376 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: know it doesn't. Know. You don't want to get too 1377 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 1: much in the vent diagram with their behavior and just 1378 01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 1: meth being one thing that they did and makes it 1379 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,799 Speaker 1: all the less appealing. You will not become a Nazi 1380 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 1: because you smoke meth. But if you're a Nazi and 1381 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: you smoke meth, you'll become more of a Nazi. Yeah, 1382 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,879 Speaker 1: it's a general rule. If you start taking a shipload 1383 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,880 Speaker 1: of meth, the things about you that are already not great, 1384 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Like everybody has things about them that suck. And one 1385 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 1: of the downsides of a drug like meth is that 1386 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,519 Speaker 1: it it makes everything about you bigger and more so. 1387 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,839 Speaker 1: And so the meth will whatever you don't like about yourself, 1388 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: the meth will make me more of a thing about yourself, 1389 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,640 Speaker 1: and perhaps that's not something you want. And this was 1390 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 1: brought to you by Nancy Reagan's Drug for America. Yes, 1391 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,559 Speaker 1: and the council for maybe tryoxy instead the drug with 1392 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: no consequences oxy content. Don't look at the Midwest also 1393 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:32,799 Speaker 1: also no good stuff. Well, Carolina, you get any flogables 1394 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: to plug?
