Neither Hitler, nor his top generals, nor even his doctor really knew what the cocktail of pills and injections he was getting to cure him of his flatulence were doing to him.
He was a severe addict towards the end of the war, and that doctor might have singlehandedly been responsible for all the stupid strategic decisions that Hitler took towards the end
He had Parkinsons like symptoms, was on a methamphetemine to combat fatigue, a barbiturate to combat insomnia with some opioids on the side.
There’s no way he wasn’t high 24x7.
Which is why we shouldn’t get too caught up on individuals. There will always be tweakers. The amazing thing is people rallied around a genocidal demagogue on drugs and said that’s our guy.
Damn, as someone with ADHD, that’s pretty similar to my usual routine. Adderall, PEA, or benzedrine to focus and get shit done (so I’m not a useless blob), kratom to boost my mood and keep the demons quiet, cannabis so I can sleep and enjoy mundane tasks, and the occasional drink or benzo to take the edge off.
Hang on, did Hitler actually fart a medically significant amount or is “cure him of his flatulence” a somewhat disrespectful way to say killed someone?

I mean… I feel like Hitler might have borne some of the responsibility as well.

he was a fartboy
Gassy fella
Well… The string of stupid strategic decisions didn’t start near the end. But ok, maybe he got some help on the final ones.
