Agree, many wish to deny the idea the evil exists, and that people can be evil, and/or do evil things. If evil does not exist, then governments ruled by "the wise" can do many things without consideration of morality or human or consitutional rights. That is the agenda behind denying the existence of evil. We have the ability, as humans, to do terrible things to each other, and to be able to live with it. Evil people can still have loving relationships, enjoy the opera, and have a nice meal for dinner. With humans, evil is an everyday thing, it is part of the human condition.
People have this caricature version of Nazis in their mind, ranting madmen foaming at mouth, spewing hatred and nonsense. Nobody is actually taught how mistaken principles can lead people into a form of reasoning that logically leads them to evil. More than tens years ago, I was in college, and took a course on the Holocaust. It was for higher level history students who, presumably, knew a bit more about history than the average student. But when it came to primary source readings, they'd see something like Alfred Rosenberg or Gottfried Feder, and they could not believe those men were Nazis. Their arguments were entirely too rational. These people were too intelligent and educated to be Nazis. They believed Nazis were only the unwashed, stupid, and hateful masses. That's the problem with dehumanizing evil people in history. They become other-ed so much that people can't ever recognize similarities they might themselves bear to those people.
He was not evil,he had an ideology that included doing horrible things but in his mind was for the good of the german people,so, anyone can do the worst of things with good intentions in their head. The lesson to learn is that there are no cartoonish villains,only humans.
@@sujeto16a People who are willing to do horrible things at great cost, "for the greater good," are not exempted from being evil. It's even worse when they actually aren't serving the greater good because their base assumptions are wrong.
@@TheImperatorKnight I have a question regarding your video TIK. I remember that a while ago the World War 2 day by day channel from indy neidell made a video claiming Hitler was injected a literal hardcore drug-cocktail regularly from 1936 on by Morrel. They really went into detail and even mentionend an account that Hummler allegedly stole one of the injections and had it analyzed in a lab, revealing its content, but he didnt tell Hitler. Where do these claims come from?

I hate when people just boils the eastern front to: Lol, hitler attacked in the winter. Just show's how ignorant humans can be and are happy to be fed with lies.
Buuuut - being a devil's advocate here, or offering an additional argument - you need to simplify things for the general public, because one simply doesn't have the time and mental capacity to take in all of this. That is the historians' job: To take all available facts, analyse them as best as they can and then tell a truthful narrative - "truth" being a simplified interpretation of reality which helps with understanding the reality. And sometimes...you need to oversimplify. To tell a world war in one sentence. Not always, but sometimes.
What do you think about creating narrratives which don't primarily stem from the facts, but those that aim for a better goal? In this case I'm thinking about the Rommel myth (and MHV's video on it), that Rommel's legacy was embellished to be used for creating a good foundation for Bundeswehr. Can you build a better future on lies or half-truths? Can you get rid of them afterwards?
It's important to remember that being on drugs doesn't automatically make you impaired. Half of Silicon Valley and Wall Street are on all kinds of stuff while at the same time make a killing.
Depend on what drugs u are on and what u need to do. If u need to do PT or being conscious long times as a pilot then meth is great, but if u need to discuss things with other ppl and listen to arguments and take well thought decisions.. not so much!
People forget or don't know that most, if not almost all, of the "great" people we look up to in history were on some drug or another; after looking into it, especially with Paul Erdős, I'm tending to believe that drugs either caused them to see things differently and therefore became great or that it improved their already great abilities because they weren't just getting high off it. But that's just my current view.
It seems like it's hard for a lot of people to realize that understanding something or someone does not mean supporting it. Dehumanizing evil people seems like a psychological defense mechanism, to avoid having to grasp the reality that every genocide in history was carried out by human beings. It seems like that is such a scary thought to some people that they can't even imagine it.
@@LUR1FAX I think you got it there. Like a cognitive dissonance. Easier to say he's crazy than to say he could be you or I or the Baker down the street.
Whether Hitler took drugs or not, he didn't start a world war. A war between Germany and Poland was not a world war. It became a world war when England and France, nations with world empires, declared war on Germany. And for what? To defend Poland? Is that why they not only didn't declare war on the Soviets who also invaded Poland, but also gave it all over to the Soviets after the war? The Soviets, by the way, who had more people killed before the war began than Germans are said to have killed in 12 years of National Socialism. Tens of millions of people died in the war, and for what? To defend Poland or to destroy a Germany who stopped paying international finance, a Germany who took internationalists out of power who rule over most of us in the west today?
@@josephrichter2104 I am Polish. I'm glad UK and France DOW'ed Germany. Fuck off from my country. Yeah, fuck off I said it. Maybe Baltic was rightfully German, debatable.

I cannot praise your patience enough when dealing with all these people online, who fundamentally misunderstand the topics in your videos. To go so far as to accuse you of being a nazi or a Hitler idolater! Thank you TIK for bringing so many greatly detailed videos on WW2 and beyond
It's sadly astonishing that by trying to understand (emphasis on understand) Hitler & his pernicious ideology one could believe that such at attempt at understanding meant agreement or support for Hitler! Ouch! The Third Reich was so destructive, not because its leaders were "insane," but because they posessed a wealth of qualities that are admirable in themselves - but not when directed to the destructive cause they served. You can be evil AND intelligent at the same time. Sadly ...
Can be lol? Dude one being intelligent and kind or even just of a normal temperament is the rarity. Intelligence in a modern society often lead's to despising society... Maybe we could figure out why that is? Or not you know fuck it ain't broke don't fix it. 😅

@@Made_In_Heavenn true, but without Hitler we’d have the USSR possibly collapsing earlier in early 1940’s, Keynes couldn’t use ‘oh see a war, so you can’t judge me for my policies and rhetoric.’ That and China also wouldn’t likely have had Russia as very reliable as it had been since the USSR would’ve been worse off without the Lend Lease air drops America supplied to them in WW2.

Towards the end of the war the Germans dumped a load of pervitin into Finland, where the downsides of the drugs weren't as well known. The result was that after the war and during the 50s Finland had the highest consumption of amphetamines in the world.
I guess it was some way to punish Finland for seeking peace with the allies&USSR. I heard there were instances of German soldiers becoming literally braindead and having permanent damage after being overdosed with pervitin and other "wonderdrug" attemps.
@@arturocevallossoto5203 Only years of use will cause permanent damage. The immediate damage to one's psyche is mostly caused by sleep deprivation. Amphetamine is prescribed to children and adults for ADD quite frequently for long periods of time.

@@francescomiele6601 You know where comes the sentence "Hitler was a socialist?" From the socialist saying, Hitler was not a real socialist he just wanted the name to trick the workers. Socialism is "good" therefore nothing bad can be attached to it. This is a problem, as most of the Academia leans towards the left, that is the vision we have been spoon-fed. One thing is to be against Hitler and NS and another thing is because I am against it I can use whatever I want that fits my ideology: from madman to drug issues, or not being a real socialist. That is a perversion of History and a true effort no to find the truth but to silence the debate and censor the critics. No surprise, the Left has always kept the prerogative of being the ones that can name other people's ideology, but watch out if you touch their precious "ring".
And besides that, he is not doing anything radical or new. He is just doing on YT what they do in the schools in Germany and had many of my German friends being fed up with History in general.
Hitler had an acrimonious relationship with his generals because he was on drugs? Neh, Hitler was on drugs because he had an acrimonious relationship with his generals.

I had this conversation with a Jewish man once, that casting the Nazis as super-mega-crazy-evil in a whole different reality than anything else in history is actually really bad for society and understanding how things played out... And how they could repeat. Very few people even understand what the politics of Nazis actually was and would have no way of recognizing it. And more controversially, I argued that treating them like that over time will ultimately turn Nazis subversive heroes like pirates and Vikings. We name our sports teams after those people because they are symbolic of extreme aggression, it's that there's been enough time that their murdering and pillaging has lost its edge and now they're "heroes." Overall, the Jewish man didn't care for my arguments, but he grudgingly admitted I had a few reasonable points.
@@ressljs exactly. Just look at todays leftists they run around calling anyone who even slightly disagrees with a nazi, whilst they themselves actually act like nazis with their bullyboy political tactics.
The British gave their tank crews Benzidrine (methamphetamine) in the North African campaign. One account I read of a British officer described his hallucinations after three days on the stuff.
@@signoguns8501 Pervitin - the drug that Germany widely distributed to its soldiers and tank crews, and apparently also the drug that even Wikipedia claims that Funny Mustache Man is only "rumored to have begun... using after1937... although disputed by historians...." - is also an amphetamine, not methamphetamine. Apparently the Japanese military distributed and used methamphetamines under the name Philipon during the war, before the effects were widely understood. Allied bomber pilots were also given amphetamines such as Benzedrine to keep them alert through long bombing runs, and it seems that amphetamines more recently were voluntarily used by US pilots for much the same purpose during the the Persian Gulf War. (Allegedly Russian soldiers are using them now in Ukraine, according to Forbes and other sources, and it wouldn't surprise me, though I'll take almost anything the press says about that war with a grain of salt.) The Soviets apparently also dabbled in drugging their soldiers, but that information doesn't seem to be as easy to find: 2,4-Dinotrophenol seems to have been a (non-amphetamine) Soviet wonder-drug for its fighters in cold weather, otherwise used as an herbicide, explosive, and weight-loss drug, which had the mixed benefit of keeping Soviet soldiers warm in frigid Eastern Front weather by quickly burning fat, keeping the soldiers alert and awake and active, at the risk of heart attacks and starvation (the starving Soviet soldiers had precious little body fat to spare without burning it faster to stay warmer), I see some references to various sorts of drugs being distributed to at least Soviet special forces, but over all the Soviets seemed to be pretty secretive on the topic, though, and I get the strong impression that much of the "Mad Druggie Mustache Man" myth was authored by the Soviets, as part of a Narrative that went something like "The decadent capitalist west use all these drugs, while the great Soviet super-soldiers only need all-natural vodka and True Socialism to conquer the world!" I press X to doubt.... WWII, like WWI before it, was a high-tech war where the various fighting forces quickly adopted all sorts of new technologies to gain advantage against their enemies, and "wonder drugs" were just one of the new high-tech weapons they adopted. I would bet that pretty much every major participant in WWII that could afford to do so used amphetamines in one form or another during the war, and no doubt afterward,.
@@ss88sa88 Kind of. But its like comparing codeine and fentanyl. Both opiate based, theyre both narcotics with similar properties, but one is much more potent than the other.
I was under the impression that Goering was a morphine addict. I thought he had been hooked after a near-fatal injury in WWI. As an aside, I feel like the maximum benefit of Pervitin would be approximately hours 16-36ish, with hour 0 being the waking time. Ive never been in a combat situation while using, but for focus and rational thinking, its benefit was only about a full 24 hours starting around the time one would normally sleep. After about 48 hours on Pervitin, I think the crash and lack of sleep would seriously hinder someone's mental faculties. Say they get 4 hours of fitful sleep. They may be forced or compelled to re-dose just to achieve some level of function. So I can see the argument that some soldiers were hardcore addicts. It's probably heavily exaggerated, especially the argument that it played a major role in the France/Poland victories. I'd also seen a chart that documented barbiturate injections given by Morrell. So that wouldve been a nighttime medication. It's basically the early 20th century version of benzos (Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Halcion ). A lot less selectively binding, a lot more dangerous in overdose as a result of the peripheral effects. This wouldve led to dependence quite rapidly. The question would be whether he was really impaired to the point of living in a totally separate reality. If he truly was, I doubt he'd have remained in power even with all the psychophants in his court. No way.
The system enables guys like Heydrich and Eichmann to have psychopathic tendencies and they always explain away their killings with euphemisms. Even if they are not on drugs they rationalize their murders.
@Rifle Eyez It's the opportunistic evil being talked about here, just like Hans Landa in the inglorious bastards. Himmler knew it was evil so he tried to make deals with the allies. Drugs or intoxication is one way they would want to explain away their mass killings. Then it would be the system, or just Hitler, whatever it takes to exonerate themselves.
@Rifle Eyez We are all capable of evil. There is no saints, just normal average Joe's when given the opportunity of a life time most will take it and bear the consequences afterwards. All sides of this conflict do it, even the good guys. The poor, the defeated were more easily manipulated because what have they got to lose? Some have more hindsight than the others and emigrated to the Americas before the 30s.
How is race not real? I can't help but think this is some postmodernist bullshit. Just from observing people of different races in real life, I can clearly see there are notable differences between them. Saying "races are not real" sounds like "colors blue and red don't exist" to me. How can anyone say that with a straight face? This is an honest question, I don't want to just criticize this point, I'm honestly curious how can anyone think this?
We have become accustomed to seeing Hitler only as a manic, screaming demagogue because of his famous speeches to the assembled masses. The caricature of him biting his carpet and screaming in rage has become accepted. But far more realistic is the sober, calm, rational HItler behind the scenes. He could inspire fear and the utmost obedience in his highest chain of command simply with his cold-blooded presence. The only record we have of what he sounded like in private conversation are the Hitler-Mannerheim tapes of 1942. It's hard to connect this man's casual private conversation with an individual who could coldly order the extermination of millions of Jews in the Holocaust, and other horrendous crimes. But that is an equally scary part of who Hitler was.
Vegans and vegetarians to a lesser extent need to make up the protein they lack in their diet. For vegetarians it isn't particularly hard (eggs) but for some vegans getting enough protein can be a struggle
Utopias will have different, clashing definitions if you ask different people. And therefore utopias are inherently the opposite, cus it requires other utopias to be dismissed.
I have been a vegetarian since my childhood, and I never faced any stomach issues due to my diet lol, idk how much not eating dairy makes a difference in the case of vegans but a vegetarian diet is perfectly healthy for humans and no it wouldn't cause stomach problems (if you eat such a diet from early in your life that is). Someone like Hitler who ate a meat based diet for most of his life until that point may face such issues due to the gut bacteria in their appendix and large intestine not being suited for a sudden change in diet, since your gut bacteria's composition changes depending on your diet, so if you do a sudden change you're bound to experience stomach issues as the gut bacteria which helps in the digestion is not present in the required quantities. tldr it's more of a sudden change in diet that causes stomach pains when a life long meat eater switches to either a vegetarian or vegan diet rather than the diet being inherently not suited for humans.
can also be the fact that hitler was highly active and that nutrition wasnt aware the risk of just cutting out meat without having other scources. remember unlike you people decades diddnt just had access to every single food of the entire world at their disposal and me personally dont know anyone who is a hard worker physically or public speaker like that was vegetarian. and a lifetime vegetarian is simply Impossible when being a soldier unless you like to starve.
The fact that you have to apologize and qualify the fact that Hitler was human and not a frothing madman tells you everything you need to know about leftists.
I've never heard about the vegan/vegetarian theory you mentioned. As a veggie (for about 6 years) you hear a lot of peoples theories on why its good or bad but haven't come across that one, not even once. I can say I've had no issues. PS: you said Hitler was a vegetarian and then said that vegan diets are unsustainable (or just uncomfortable?) after 5 years or so. Was Hitler veggie or vegan? Cheers
i dont know it exactly but being vegetarian or vegan is from what i heard very difficult since you need some things that are hard to get from just vegetables. considering that in the 1900s you didnt know so much about and hitler as a public speaker and statesman was very active its highly possible that such a Lifestyle without todays knowledge about nutrition can backfire hard
The left says race doesn't exist as a way to justify multiracialism and multiculturalism. The more diverse a populace is the more likely it is to cause problems. Human beings form relationships with other humans because of things that they have in common. If human beings have very little in common with one another then it's likely that violence will erupt given enough time. If race really doesn't exist then I can't have white privilege since there is nothing different between me and an African American.
Small hint about the vegan-discussion. I rarly eat meat, sometimes not even once a month. There are countless ways to gain all the other vital resources and vitamins you body needs from different plants and animal products. But it's first of all a challenge to find the balance and we have today so much more knowledge about different diets aswell as countless different cultures (witch many different menus and so on) as well as much better access to pretty much any food item we might want/require. All things Hitler didn't have. You don't have to be a meat eater to prevent stomach aches. But your making eating certainly more complicated (intersting, I would say ^^)
I've read a few allied WW2 memoirs where they used Benzedrine (Amphetamine) a lot to keep going. I can't help but think that some of the most insane bravery, while wounded, medal winners, may have been assisted by the drug.
Here in Czech Republic the German Pervitine production took an unexpected spin decades later when it was first experimented on by the communists and then rediscovered by underground figures who used the German research started "cooking" Pervitine in the 70s, which was something totally unheard of behind the Iron Curtain. This resulted in massive Pervitine problem and huge consumption that largely lasts to this day. As such, I cant imagine the drug being used long-term by the troops, it is totally devastating after a couple of months and, as you mention yourself, its initial kick only results in a huge exhaustion and "sleeping loan" later on, not to mention horrid anxieties and paranoia.
I've read a book called "Eat & Run" by Scott Jurek, who is a vegan ultra marathoner. And apparently yes, you can live healthy as vegan if you do proper nutrition management.
@Ahri Ayumei I actually thought that just some maladapted, self-hating Whites were denying existence of race. Let's be candid here. Yes, we're a product of evolution so it's simply impossible for us to be all identical. At this moment even first genes responsible for behavioural and cognitive differences are identified and their distribution is unsurprisingly not uniform among populations, but in nasty way match well observed differences and stereotypes. I don't see how reparations can help for people who were unlucky with the genes that they got.
TIK, this makes perfect sense to me, but then I've been a vegetarian for 50 years so you shouldn't trust anything I think. :-| Maybe I should ask my doctor if opiates and animal hormones could be right for me?
I think TIK should create T-shirts where is writted : " It's Madman Hitler's Fault! " or " I believe in the Manstein, so I have to have the gift of the Manstein "
Standard Oil leased the method to create synthetic petrol from coal to IG Farben. This was disclosed in 2013 by the Freedom of Information Act. Standard Oil did not share this knowledge with the US government during the war.
I really wish you hadn't injected weak nutritional "science" into this assessment. I love your videos and feel like I am learning a great deal from an expert in an area I know little about. Unfortunately, in that dynamic, you've really got to trust that the teacher is presented a balanced view and only expressing certainty about thing he is absolute certain. When you tangent off into subjects your listener's might know more about, you might breach that trust. Having studied nutrition and diet science for almost two decades I can say that almost any statement one might make about diet and health is uncertain/unproven. Yes, human beings as a species are omnivores (that's about the only certain statement), but any one human being or group of human beings could (and seem to) fall anywhere on a spectrum from best off totally vegan to best off totally carnivore. There are piles of studies supporting/refuting either side and everywhere in between. Diet and health is notoriously difficult to study, leaving it open to manipulation, and with alot of money to be made it attracts all kinds of bad actors, so what we are left with is this near-impenetrable mess, with everyone claiming they are the only ones able to interpret it. You or almost no one else alive today is in any position to say whether Hitler's diet played into his poor health. the only way to know is for Hitler to have changed his diet (say, add some steak) to see if his health improves. I understand that some Vegans "hit the wall" after a period. I understand it would have been difficult to get a "complete" vegan diet 80 years ago. But there are a myriad of other possible causes that are equally likely (unrelated to diet). So why lean into this one? For example, why have we not consider simple stress??? There are few things more debilitating than stress. Perhaps with Midway and Stalingrad decided, he could sense the war was slipping away. The anxiety could have left him with a host of physical and mental health issues.
This was the comment I was hoping to eventually see, I came for the history here and am Vegan and was confused as I have never heard of "hitting the wall" before and I have multiple Vegan friends as well.
How does race not exist exactly? There is a plethora of studies pointing out racial differences in pretty much every way possible, those differences aren't crossspecies level but definitely easibly noticeable.
@Marry Christmas All dogs descend from wolves so there are no dog breeds right? And this nubian bs is just laughable, get serious dude. And besides, you can literally see the difference between races, put a Scandinavian next to an Aborigine native and tell me with a straight face that there is no difference, put an Asian next to a South Sudanese Nilote and do the same.
@Marry Christmas So how we should classify ability to distinguish different breeds of dogs? Is it my choice? Does it mean that I'm a... uhm... breedist?
RACE Does EXIST! Different races have varied outer and INNER characteristics that can and have been measured, which can be used to predict certain behaviours.
There's no such thing as race it's made up there's only one race in this world and it's called the human race. I don't judge people by the color of their skin or what they look like I judge them by the content of their character.
Roosevelt, Churchill and pretty much everyone around at the time accepted the existence of race and racial difference. They did not reach the same conclusions as Hitler. You say that acknowledging racial difference is a slippery slope to Nazism. I disagree. When you outlaw certain forms of thought you make them mystical and appealing. The typical Daily Mail reader knows that there is a difference between a Japanese woman and a Jamaican man. They do not suddenly start goose stepping upon realising.
>Roosevelt, Churchill and pretty much everyone around at the time accepted the existence of race and racial difference Hitler was consistent. Most others were not.
Hi, I disagree with many of your opinions but I'm a regular watcher of your videos because they are well-researched and entertaining. - Thank you for that! In this video, when you are talking about Schwab's "great reset", you're using the term "judeo-capitalist system". What do you mean by that? Or are you quoting Schwab here?? A clarification would be very nice.
Thanks Tik! Thanks for the courage to put things where they belong, and I'm talking about the correlation between those horrible past episodes of human history and what is happening right now. Every time somebody thinks people need to be FORCED to be "better" and they have the power to enforce a radical social and economic change it invariably ends in desaster, and that is the case with the so called great reset. I didn't see the whole video yet, but let me say these things are only possible because of another crucial feature of human nature: We have way more potential to be cowards, willingly ignorants and lazy before this kind of bullies, than potential to be bad persons, so I would say:everything Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and some other jolly chaps made until now were actually sponsored by the laziness and cowardice of the people; as what is happening (and about to happen) with the great reset. So please people, stop talking and thinking about us, the people, as "the good ones"... in reality, we surrender, we comply, we obey. Nobody seems to understand why so educated people as the germans could be silent before what Hitler was doing in front of their noses. But the same is happening right now in front of OUR noses. We just obey, nobody even dares to ask a question, just went down our beds and waited to other people solve the current issue, you know what issue Im talking about. Good luck telling our grandsons why we let this to happen
By the way if you're going to come to the conclusion that Hitler was a drug influence madman, the same criteria could be applied to Sigmund Freud. Another avid drug user.
You know WAY more than I do and I agree with 99.9999999% of the things you say except this. ONLY because as someone who has done a metric ton of pretty much any drug you can think of, when I see that video of Hitler at the Olympics rocking back and forth uncontrollably: that is DEFINITELY someone who is on something at that moment in time at least
so the details about the Pervetin side effects reminded me about a funny, silly story based on Indian Mythology... one of our epics, the Ramayana. So the titular character Rama goes into exile for fourteen years, and his brother is one of the two people who go with him. This brother makes a deal with sleep itself, telling 'her' that he needs to stay awake to protect his brother and sister in law. He tells her not to bother him for these fourteen years and she agrees, on the condition that when she visits, he must not deny her. And she chooses her moment at the hour when Rama has returned home and is being crowned King in a grand ceremony XD. So, yeah, I agree; never mess with your sleep cycle!
*have happened* Present perfect tense. 'Of' is a preposition. However, people do say "wouldn't 've happened" and that can sound like 'of happened', but when written like that, it doesn't make any sense.
@@Dale_The_Space_Wizard Perhaps I'm the one who should apologize. No offence meant and none taken. I see that use of 'of' everywhere on the internet and being an ESL / TEFL teacher I usually say so, when perhaps it would be better to keep my mouth shut. Apologies.

As a neuropharmacologist I have some serious reservations about some of the conclusions you have come to concerning Hitlers, and the German army as a whole’s drug use. I have a deep respect for this Chanel, the history and the insights you come to are fantastic, but it’s all too clear you don’t have a fundamental understanding of how a lot of these drugs work, or even what a lot of these drugs were/are. There are fair too many examples, and I would need to watch the video again and make notes, so from what I remember I will pick a couple of examples to illustrate what I’m trying to say. Firstly pervitin is methamphetamine, and was incredibly common amongst the German population in the lead up to the war, and in the early stages of the war, it does actually improve concentration, physical and mental endurance etc for a time. Numerous studies, even a quite famous one in Germany in the 1930s involving students having to stay up writing and answering questions fir as long as possible, one group given methamphetamine and the other a placebo, I don’t know if it was a double blind study, I doubt it, but anyway it showed those on methamphetamine could concentrate far longer and keep on task than those on the placebo. Studies on amphetamine based drugs and stimulants in general have shown similar results, and in fact drugs like adderall, which contains a mixture of the two enantiomers of amphetamine are indicated and approved for use in various disorders, as are drugs like Ritalin. Amphetamine in fact was used by pretty much all sides in WW2 and is still used by some militaries to this day, fighter pilots for example may be given it, but only for short term use, and this is based on decades of research. These drugs used for performance enhancement, either mentally (you will see today the rise of drugs like modafinil in universities) or physically really only work over a couple of days, because after 3 days of no sleep you will start to either experience a “come down”, which is not ideal for soldiers, or if you continue to take the stimulant (which will require ever increasing quantities) cause some quite strange side effects, auditory and visual hallucinations, depression, hyper aggression (a common side effect of any drug that increases dopamine release) hypertension (or even hypotension in some cases), abdominal pain etc, none of which are conducive to a fighting force, and the Wehrmacht was aware of this, and various orders and stops and checks were put in place to reduce the consumption of the drug, and not only for the Heer. It is true they had access to pervitin especially in the French campaign, but the number of doses available were not limitless, and the adverse effects were noted, which is why in subsequent campaigns the use of pervitin was much smaller (also the clamping down I mentioned above). Your comments on Stalingrad don’t hold water with me, because it is well documented that by 1942 the use of pervitin was much lower that it had been in 1940. So for that example I both agree with some of your statements and conclusions and disagree, but I think that comes more from your lack of understanding just how these drugs work. Another example is Eukadol (oxycodone I believe) which you call opium, which it is not, it is opiod, that is to say a synthetic drug that binds to opiod receptors, opium is essentially a mixture of naturally occurring opiates like morphine and codeine, which comes from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Staying on opiates I’d like to mention that Hermann Göring was in fact a morphine addict, an IV one at that, as a result of being shot in the leg during the beer hall putsch, I’m not aware of his cocaine use, but maybe. I’d also like to say that withdrawal from eukadol would not last months, it would be around one to two weeks for the acute withdrawal symptoms, possibly less, and there may be some protracted symptoms like depression or apathy that last up to 6 months, but these are quite different from the acute withdrawal symptoms that most people would associate with opiate addiction (one exception to this would be longer acting opiates like methadone, the withdrawal period can last up to 2 or 3 months but is much less severe, basically the shorter acting the opiate the more intense but shorter the acute withdrawal period and vice versa). Hitler was also given cocaine, I do not know when it was first given to him but it was at some point a part of the mixture that made up his daily (well more than daily) injections, he also used cocaine eye drops I believe. I also wonder why you did not mention that Hitlers health problems (the motor neurone ones anyway) could have been a sign of Parkinson’s disease, which a lot of people do use as evidence of his drug use as the condition is the result of the destruction of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra, though I would say his drug use probably didn’t cause this directly, but could have been a contributing factor, however as we do not have his brain to look at we simply don’t know, and are going off the notes of his doctors and late war footage of him. Another point I want to mention is about IG Farben, which was a conglomerate chemical and pharmaceutical company made up from various other companies such as Bayer (famous for the synthesis of Heroin and Aspirin). There are more incidents in your video of a basic lack of understanding of how these drugs work, or even what they are which I think should be amended. I really also have to disagree with your statement about veganism, it simply is not true that you cannot live without meat past a certain point, everything that meat contains you can get from lentils, nuts, beans etc and in fact the human digestive system struggles to break down red meat. So we can’t say that is the reason Hitler had stomach pains, again we have to work from the contemporary doctors records, and it’s quite a leap to conclude that his vegetarian diet caused his health to decline, this man was under tremendous stress and lived 75 years ago. Anyways I apologise fir the rant but there were far too many flaws with your understanding of drugs and the human body and brain, which effect your conclusions, which is a real shame, I know pharmacology isn’t the easiest to understand, but Google is always there to help. You have probably had some of these come up already but if not, I hope this helps you and others understand some these points a little better, I have tried to keep the medical jargon down to a minimum as I know it isn’t necessary. Despite all of the above and more, I do think this is an important topic and the video helps to find that middle ground between people either denying drug use or saying everyone was in drugs all the time (which they were not). Cheers
Not going to lie the whole "race is a social construct" argument that you argued is a bit of a cop-out denying that each people (race in this case) aren't different, a non-argument so to say. There are obvious differences, both physically in genetics and body characteristics such as eye, hair and skin color and how their bodies have adapted to live in specific climates and environments as well as more broad things such as regional culture and ingenuity to their respected regions of the world. The common argument is "we're one race, the human race", yeah true, but there's sub races of humans. Dogs, for example exist, but there are different breeds. So to are their different types of humans, just like dogs who have different type's of physical characteristics and intelligence levels. Yes I am aware there are "exceptions" that people will use to undermine that idea such as above average IQ's in relatively low IQ countries or how there are fair eye and skin people in Pakistan but the point stands that people, no matter where they are in the world live by in groups and out groups on a primal level and they will always see stuff through a race-based lens, it's almost like its ingrained in us as a natural phenomena, as opposed to a social based construct. Race is real, and I could get into semantics but I don't want to make a fuss. Go to a foreign village or town somewhere off in Nigeria or Pakistan or Central Asia or Europe as an outsider and see how you are treated, most will say you're an outsider because you are an outsider. "Race" is yes a politically loaded, term but saying it doesn't exist or is a social construct is just kicking the can down the road and in my opinion denying a very real thing. Look at Japan for instance, they specifically have an identity for who "is" and "is not" Japanese, the Nihonjin (Japanese) and Gaikokujin (foreign people).
Miss me with that bullshit, I quote word for word “ Go to a foreign village or town somewhere off in Nigeria or Pakistan or Central Asia or Europe as an outsider and see how you are treated, most will say you're an outsider because you are an outsider.” Don’t shoehorn your bullshit into here and put words I didn’t say in my mouth. I have no hate for black men here in America, they have just as much of a right to this country as the European-Americans. Many may argue what they want but Blacks are part of the founding stock to the nation
Not a mad man, a radical, every decision he made was based on his national socialist ideology, he understood mobile warfare but his national socialist beliefs, didn't allow for giving up ground, even in a mobile retreat that was a prelude to a pincer move to outflank the Russians, he just couldn't bring himself to give up any ground even if it ment 200,000 men would live to fight another day, its illogical but not because of drugs or madness, but because of his radical beliefs..
Also Pervitin DOES still exist n the US. It’s called “desoxyn”. Pure meth amphetamine and VERY hard to get and only from special pharmacies. Only for severe ADHD and mostly for those with narcolepsy.
Why get into human made categorization in the video. Race exist in the same way like gender exist, or sex, or species, or breed. They are all human made, but they are not pseudo science, and no serious biologist will say they are pseudo science. The max you see is them saying its a social construct, but that doesn't means much, gender is a social construct, and math as well is a social construct. Race does exist. Its ridiculous to claim it doesn't, based on a random headline from some news site, instead of looking at the validity of the categorization of race in science. We use it for example in medicine. All you can do is use phenotypes and genetic clusters just because the term "Race" is too politically charged, but thats about it. There is nothing inherently wrong about the concept of "race".

Important video, Tik. I would echo your caution in in attributing widespread drug use to Hitler or the Wehrmacht. In the first instance, it is is contrary to his very philosophy of being. For the wider armed forces, we must also look at the ability of the body to maintain itself for extended periods in extreme situations. You have covered the eventual use of drugs by Hitler comprehensively and definitively. However, I would urge caution in agreeing to so readily accepting widespread use of drugs to enhance performance within the Wehrmacht even in 1941. I have personally experienced both myself and through family members who fought in the Second World War of being able to operate for extended periods on minimal sleep. For example, my father who fought in the rear guard at Tobruk often recalled how they suffered onslaught and bombardments for weeks on end just catching a few minutes or an hour or two sleep whenever they could. This was out of necessity but also so by Arrangement with others in a unit who would cover for a designated person taking a brief rest while the others remained on duty. There are certain requirements for this to occur. To maintain high performance over an extended period with minimal sleep is possible but requires the following: - those attempting it need to be young - they need to be physically fit - they need to be engaged in a challenging and exciting environment - they have to see a benefit or goal which the lack of sleep can achieve - and strangely they need to derive a sense of excitement from the events around them. When this is transposed into the invasion of Poland or France, or the invasion of Russia, the youth and uniqueness of the situation - rapid victories coming after the trench warfare of WWI - fits all of these criteria. By contrast, drug use tends to be the result of desperation. Not necessarily borne out of depression but from the very necessary need to maintain performance in the face of adversity. This criteria is met perfectly by a retreat, withdrawal or a siege. To achieve results under conditions which are then likely to be personally hazardous or requiring superhuman strength, drug use then becomes essential even if for short periods of time. I offer this as complementary comments to your perspective on widespread drug use and would remind you that even at times of of publicly claimed society-wide drug abuse, the majority of people are not taking those drugs and they are performing ably as normal individuals even in exceptional timed. As we often see even today, alcohol and drugs is freely taken (and given to) reporters who have different motivatikns and fear thresholds to the troops around them, often causing a misapprehension which becomes the 'truth' e.g. in Vietnam every soldier was a baby killer and high all the time. Thanks again for batting a solid innings focommon n sense
“Race doesn’t exist” incorrect. Different races have different bone structures, physical features, different sized brains. It’s an evolutionary reality. Suddenly people think that evolution stops at human beings, or at the neck. Which is a completely political or religious idea, based in communism, the enlightenment or Christianity. Evolution has caused us to evolve in different ways depending on how people live and their environment. This is basic stuff, but a lot of people are incapable of overcoming this thought. And it’s a topic that a lot of people don’t handle reasonably. For anyone interested research FST. Which measures the genetic differences between populations. Europeans and Africans have the same level of genetic differences as between a North American wolf and a Coyote, which are actually classed as separate species by experts. I’m yet to meet a person who can debunk this. So in conclusion yes, races do exist.
@@Edax_Royeaux Yeah true, it sounds like he’s parroting something he’s heard rather than actually looking into the topic truthfully and coming to difficult but realistic conclusion. If someone comes out and says there’s no such thing as race you know they either haven’t looked into it, are cowering to the mob, or they are a Christian, following enlightenment ideals or are a communist. Charles Darwin the man who “discovered” evolution believed in race. I’d rather take his view than a UA-cam historian who’s likely never studied evolutionary biology.
In chapter 7 of Origins of the species Charles Darwin makes it clear he thinks the various races of humans have similar mental capacities “and this fact can only be accounted for by the various races having similar inventive or mental powers .” He does talk about human races but makes it clear humans the same species. You could argue that he had a black friend which made him biased I guess

@landscape I believe @TIK can make it through, and see the real truth, meaning that societies are a racial construct because we aren't all the same, every race has it's own soul and different unique characteristics. I just write this here because I want you @TIK to remember my comment when you will swallow the redpill but you will be trapped in this new lie that race is a social construct, that race isn't real and you won't be able to say it because you will lose all of your credibility.

I think the big thing is that people are scared by the fact that a human could be so evil yet be so "logical".
That's a very good point!
Agree, many wish to deny the idea the evil exists, and that people can be evil, and/or do evil things. If evil does not exist, then governments ruled by "the wise" can do many things without consideration of morality or human or consitutional rights. That is the agenda behind denying the existence of evil. We have the ability, as humans, to do terrible things to each other, and to be able to live with it. Evil people can still have loving relationships, enjoy the opera, and have a nice meal for dinner. With humans, evil is an everyday thing, it is part of the human condition.
People have this caricature version of Nazis in their mind, ranting madmen foaming at mouth, spewing hatred and nonsense. Nobody is actually taught how mistaken principles can lead people into a form of reasoning that logically leads them to evil.
More than tens years ago, I was in college, and took a course on the Holocaust. It was for higher level history students who, presumably, knew a bit more about history than the average student. But when it came to primary source readings, they'd see something like Alfred Rosenberg or Gottfried Feder, and they could not believe those men were Nazis. Their arguments were entirely too rational. These people were too intelligent and educated to be Nazis. They believed Nazis were only the unwashed, stupid, and hateful masses.
That's the problem with dehumanizing evil people in history. They become other-ed so much that people can't ever recognize similarities they might themselves bear to those people.

I hate when people just boils the eastern front to: Lol, hitler attacked in the winter.

Buuuut - being a devil's advocate here, or offering an additional argument - you need to simplify things for the general public, because one simply doesn't have the time and mental capacity to take in all of this. That is the historians' job: To take all available facts, analyse them as best as they can and then tell a truthful narrative - "truth" being a simplified interpretation of reality which helps with understanding the reality.
And sometimes...you need to oversimplify. To tell a world war in one sentence. Not always, but sometimes.
What do you think about creating narrratives which don't primarily stem from the facts, but those that aim for a better goal? In this case I'm thinking about the Rommel myth (and MHV's video on it), that Rommel's legacy was embellished to be used for creating a good foundation for Bundeswehr. Can you build a better future on lies or half-truths? Can you get rid of them afterwards?

It's important to remember that being on drugs doesn't automatically make you impaired. Half of Silicon Valley and Wall Street are on all kinds of stuff while at the same time make a killing.
Depend on what drugs u are on and what u need to do. If u need to do PT or being conscious long times as a pilot then meth is great, but if u need to discuss things with other ppl and listen to arguments and take well thought decisions.. not so much!
A lot of coke for Wall Street. Mainly weed or psychedelics in Silicon Valley.
People forget or don't know that most, if not almost all, of the "great" people we look up to in history were on some drug or another; after looking into it, especially with Paul Erdős, I'm tending to believe that drugs either caused them to see things differently and therefore became great or that it improved their already great abilities because they weren't just getting high off it. But that's just my current view.

People are truely out here thinking WW2 was started by a meth binge
Whether Hitler took drugs or not, he didn't start a world war. A war between Germany and Poland was not a world war. It became a world war when England and France, nations with world empires, declared war on Germany. And for what? To defend Poland? Is that why they not only didn't declare war on the Soviets who also invaded Poland, but also gave it all over to the Soviets after the war? The Soviets, by the way, who had more people killed before the war began than Germans are said to have killed in 12 years of National Socialism.
Tens of millions of people died in the war, and for what? To defend Poland or to destroy a Germany who stopped paying international finance, a Germany who took internationalists out of power who rule over most of us in the west today?

Towards the end of the war the Germans dumped a load of pervitin into Finland, where the downsides of the drugs weren't as well known. The result was that after the war and during the 50s Finland had the highest consumption of amphetamines in the world.
Several gold medals at the Winter Olympics
I guess it was some way to punish Finland for seeking peace with the allies&USSR. I heard there were instances of German soldiers becoming literally braindead and having permanent damage after being overdosed with pervitin and other "wonderdrug" attemps.

Goring was on morphine, got detoxed during Nurnberg.
He was wounded during WWI iirc in air battle and got on painkillers.
Keep up the good work, TIK!
Can't really blame him for that, WW1 was absolute hell.
When he was captured he had 20,000 dihydrocodeine(a fairly mild opioid that unlike codeine has no ceiling dose so you can take as much as your tolerance allows) tablets on him(thought to be most of the worlds supply of that drug at the time). He told the allies he needed to take 32 a day and they were heart pills lol.
He was also shot in the Munich Putsch, escaped to Switzerland & found that Morphine was a pain-killer.

@@francescomiele6601 You know where comes the sentence "Hitler was a socialist?" From the socialist saying, Hitler was not a real socialist he just wanted the name to trick the workers. Socialism is "good" therefore nothing bad can be attached to it. This is a problem, as most of the Academia leans towards the left, that is the vision we have been spoon-fed. One thing is to be against Hitler and NS and another thing is because I am against it I can use whatever I want that fits my ideology: from madman to drug issues, or not being a real socialist. That is a perversion of History and a true effort no to find the truth but to silence the debate and censor the critics. No surprise, the Left has always kept the prerogative of being the ones that can name other people's ideology, but watch out if you touch their precious "ring".

Hitler, the nazis, and that period in history have become so cartoonified that we can no longer learn from and avoid history mistake's
what TIK is trying to do is rehumanize that time period so people can learn from it and avoid repeating the horrors of that time!
I had this conversation with a Jewish man once, that casting the Nazis as super-mega-crazy-evil in a whole different reality than anything else in history is actually really bad for society and understanding how things played out... And how they could repeat. Very few people even understand what the politics of Nazis actually was and would have no way of recognizing it. And more controversially, I argued that treating them like that over time will ultimately turn Nazis subversive heroes like pirates and Vikings. We name our sports teams after those people because they are symbolic of extreme aggression, it's that there's been enough time that their murdering and pillaging has lost its edge and now they're "heroes." Overall, the Jewish man didn't care for my arguments, but he grudgingly admitted I had a few reasonable points.

The British gave their tank crews Benzidrine (methamphetamine) in the North African campaign. One account I read of a British officer described his hallucinations after three days on the stuff.
Lmao he was tripping balls
Benzedrine is amphetamine, not methamphetamine. It's much less potent than meth.
@@signoguns8501 Pervitin - the drug that Germany widely distributed to its soldiers and tank crews, and apparently also the drug that even Wikipedia claims that Funny Mustache Man is only "rumored to have begun... using after1937... although disputed by historians...." - is also an amphetamine, not methamphetamine.
Apparently the Japanese military distributed and used methamphetamines under the name Philipon during the war, before the effects were widely understood.
Allied bomber pilots were also given amphetamines such as Benzedrine to keep them alert through long bombing runs, and it seems that amphetamines more recently were voluntarily used by US pilots for much the same purpose during the the Persian Gulf War. (Allegedly Russian soldiers are using them now in Ukraine, according to Forbes and other sources, and it wouldn't surprise me, though I'll take almost anything the press says about that war with a grain of salt.)
The Soviets apparently also dabbled in drugging their soldiers, but that information doesn't seem to be as easy to find: 2,4-Dinotrophenol seems to have been a (non-amphetamine) Soviet wonder-drug for its fighters in cold weather, otherwise used as an herbicide, explosive, and weight-loss drug, which had the mixed benefit of keeping Soviet soldiers warm in frigid Eastern Front weather by quickly burning fat, keeping the soldiers alert and awake and active, at the risk of heart attacks and starvation (the starving Soviet soldiers had precious little body fat to spare without burning it faster to stay warmer), I see some references to various sorts of drugs being distributed to at least Soviet special forces, but over all the Soviets seemed to be pretty secretive on the topic, though, and I get the strong impression that much of the "Mad Druggie Mustache Man" myth was authored by the Soviets, as part of a Narrative that went something like "The decadent capitalist west use all these drugs, while the great Soviet super-soldiers only need all-natural vodka and True Socialism to conquer the world!" I press X to doubt....
WWII, like WWI before it, was a high-tech war where the various fighting forces quickly adopted all sorts of new technologies to gain advantage against their enemies, and "wonder drugs" were just one of the new high-tech weapons they adopted.
I would bet that pretty much every major participant in WWII that could afford to do so used amphetamines in one form or another during the war, and no doubt afterward,.
@@signoguns8501 It depends about how much u take it..
@@ss88sa88 Kind of. But its like comparing codeine and fentanyl. Both opiate based, theyre both narcotics with similar properties, but one is much more potent than the other.
I was under the impression that Goering was a morphine addict. I thought he had been hooked after a near-fatal injury in WWI.
As an aside, I feel like the maximum benefit of Pervitin would be approximately hours 16-36ish, with hour 0 being the waking time. Ive never been in a combat situation while using, but for focus and rational thinking, its benefit was only about a full 24 hours starting around the time one would normally sleep. After about 48 hours on Pervitin, I think the crash and lack of sleep would seriously hinder someone's mental faculties. Say they get 4 hours of fitful sleep. They may be forced or compelled to re-dose just to achieve some level of function. So I can see the argument that some soldiers were hardcore addicts. It's probably heavily exaggerated, especially the argument that it played a major role in the France/Poland victories.
I'd also seen a chart that documented barbiturate injections given by Morrell. So that wouldve been a nighttime medication. It's basically the early 20th century version of benzos (Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Halcion ). A lot less selectively binding, a lot more dangerous in overdose as a result of the peripheral effects. This wouldve led to dependence quite rapidly. The question would be whether he was really impaired to the point of living in a totally separate reality. If he truly was, I doubt he'd have remained in power even with all the psychophants in his court. No way.
If the problem was Hitler and his drugs, what do we do with people like Heydrich, Dirlenwager, Eichmann and Peiper? All they were on drugs?
It's hard to sneak a shot of H or do a line of Peruvian marching powder or blow a fat blunt in a Panzer on the down low, I imagine..😵😂
The system enables guys like Heydrich and Eichmann to have psychopathic tendencies and they always explain away their killings with euphemisms. Even if they are not on drugs they rationalize their murders.
@Rifle Eyez It's the opportunistic evil being talked about here, just like Hans Landa in the inglorious bastards. Himmler knew it was evil so he tried to make deals with the allies. Drugs or intoxication is one way they would want to explain away their mass killings. Then it would be the system, or just Hitler, whatever it takes to exonerate themselves.
@Rifle Eyez We are all capable of evil. There is no saints, just normal average Joe's when given the opportunity of a life time most will take it and bear the consequences afterwards. All sides of this conflict do it, even the good guys. The poor, the defeated were more easily manipulated because what have they got to lose? Some have more hindsight than the others and emigrated to the Americas before the 30s.

How is race not real? I can't help but think this is some postmodernist bullshit. Just from observing people of different races in real life, I can clearly see there are notable differences between them. Saying "races are not real" sounds like "colors blue and red don't exist" to me. How can anyone say that with a straight face? This is an honest question, I don't want to just criticize this point, I'm honestly curious how can anyone think this?
We have become accustomed to seeing Hitler only as a manic, screaming demagogue because of his famous speeches to the assembled masses. The caricature of him biting his carpet and screaming in rage has become accepted. But far more realistic is the sober, calm, rational HItler behind the scenes. He could inspire fear and the utmost obedience in his highest chain of command simply with his cold-blooded presence. The only record we have of what he sounded like in private conversation are the Hitler-Mannerheim tapes of 1942. It's hard to connect this man's casual private conversation with an individual who could coldly order the extermination of millions of Jews in the Holocaust, and other horrendous crimes. But that is an equally scary part of who Hitler was.
I really wonder about your point of veganism causing stomach issues, never heard of this and know many vegans who's been that for 10+ years.
Modern vegans know that they must consume sufficient protein (nuts), which would otherwise/naturally be consumed in the form of meat.
Vegans and vegetarians to a lesser extent need to make up the protein they lack in their diet. For vegetarians it isn't particularly hard (eggs) but for some vegans getting enough protein can be a struggle

Utopias will have different, clashing definitions if you ask different people. And therefore utopias are inherently the opposite, cus it requires other utopias to be dismissed.
One man's utopia is everyone else's dystopia... which is why not never works
I have been a vegetarian since my childhood, and I never faced any stomach issues due to my diet lol, idk how much not eating dairy makes a difference in the case of vegans but a vegetarian diet is perfectly healthy for humans and no it wouldn't cause stomach problems (if you eat such a diet from early in your life that is). Someone like Hitler who ate a meat based diet for most of his life until that point may face such issues due to the gut bacteria in their appendix and large intestine not being suited for a sudden change in diet, since your gut bacteria's composition changes depending on your diet, so if you do a sudden change you're bound to experience stomach issues as the gut bacteria which helps in the digestion is not present in the required quantities.
tldr it's more of a sudden change in diet that causes stomach pains when a life long meat eater switches to either a vegetarian or vegan diet rather than the diet being inherently not suited for humans.
can also be the fact that hitler was highly active and that nutrition wasnt aware the risk of just cutting out meat without having other scources. remember unlike you people decades diddnt just had access to every single food of the entire world at their disposal and me personally dont know anyone who is a hard worker physically or public speaker like that was vegetarian. and a lifetime vegetarian is simply Impossible when being a soldier unless you like to starve.
The fact that you have to apologize and qualify the fact that Hitler was human and not a frothing madman tells you everything you need to know about leftists.
While we’re on the subject of proving/disproving myths about Hitler, was it possible that He might have had PTSD as a result from serving in WW1?
I've never heard about the vegan/vegetarian theory you mentioned. As a veggie (for about 6 years) you hear a lot of peoples theories on why its good or bad but haven't come across that one, not even once. I can say I've had no issues. PS: you said Hitler was a vegetarian and then said that vegan diets are unsustainable (or just uncomfortable?) after 5 years or so. Was Hitler veggie or vegan? Cheers
i dont know it exactly but being vegetarian or vegan is from what i heard very difficult since you need some things that are hard to get from just vegetables. considering that in the 1900s you didnt know so much about and hitler as a public speaker and statesman was very active its highly possible that such a Lifestyle without todays knowledge about nutrition can backfire hard

The left says race doesn't exist as a way to justify multiracialism and multiculturalism. The more diverse a populace is the more likely it is to cause problems. Human beings form relationships with other humans because of things that they have in common. If human beings have very little in common with one another then it's likely that violence will erupt given enough time. If race really doesn't exist then I can't have white privilege since there is nothing different between me and an African American.

Small hint about the vegan-discussion.
I rarly eat meat, sometimes not even once a month. There are countless ways to gain all the other vital resources and vitamins you body needs from different plants and animal products. But it's first of all a challenge to find the balance and we have today so much more knowledge about different diets aswell as countless different cultures (witch many different menus and so on) as well as much better access to pretty much any food item we might want/require. All things Hitler didn't have. You don't have to be a meat eater to prevent stomach aches. But your making eating certainly more complicated (intersting, I would say ^^)
this thumbnail is amazing
I've read a few allied WW2 memoirs where they used Benzedrine (Amphetamine) a lot to keep going. I can't help but think that some of the most insane bravery, while wounded, medal winners, may have been assisted by the drug.
Here in Czech Republic the German Pervitine production took an unexpected spin decades later when it was first experimented on by the communists and then rediscovered by underground figures who used the German research started "cooking" Pervitine in the 70s, which was something totally unheard of behind the Iron Curtain. This resulted in massive Pervitine problem and huge consumption that largely lasts to this day. As such, I cant imagine the drug being used long-term by the troops, it is totally devastating after a couple of months and, as you mention yourself, its initial kick only results in a huge exhaustion and "sleeping loan" later on, not to mention horrid anxieties and paranoia.
TIK has just poked another hornets nest; He just spoke about the bad effects of the vegan diet! He is a very, very brave individual!

Hitler's a vegetarian, not vegan. He doesn't eat meat but he consumes other animal products like milk and eggs.
I've read a book called "Eat & Run" by Scott Jurek, who is a vegan ultra marathoner. And apparently yes, you can live healthy as vegan if you do proper nutrition management.
Nah, he's just ignorant on the subject of nutrition and biology. Humans leaning towards the carnivore side? Come on, just look it up. That's bullshit.
I believe in race and I didn't come to the same conclusions Hitler did.
What a ridiculous statement.
Pretty good video otherwise.
@Ahri Ayumei I actually thought that just some maladapted, self-hating Whites were denying existence of race. Let's be candid here. Yes, we're a product of evolution so it's simply impossible for us to be all identical. At this moment even first genes responsible for behavioural and cognitive differences are identified and their distribution is unsurprisingly not uniform among populations, but in nasty way match well observed differences and stereotypes.
I don't see how reparations can help for people who were unlucky with the genes that they got.

Having studied nutrition and diet science for almost two decades I can say that almost any statement one might make about diet and health is uncertain/unproven. Yes, human beings as a species are omnivores (that's about the only certain statement), but any one human being or group of human beings could (and seem to) fall anywhere on a spectrum from best off totally vegan to best off totally carnivore. There are piles of studies supporting/refuting either side and everywhere in between. Diet and health is notoriously difficult to study, leaving it open to manipulation, and with alot of money to be made it attracts all kinds of bad actors, so what we are left with is this near-impenetrable mess, with everyone claiming they are the only ones able to interpret it.
You or almost no one else alive today is in any position to say whether Hitler's diet played into his poor health. the only way to know is for Hitler to have changed his diet (say, add some steak) to see if his health improves.
I understand that some Vegans "hit the wall" after a period. I understand it would have been difficult to get a "complete" vegan diet 80 years ago. But there are a myriad of other possible causes that are equally likely (unrelated to diet). So why lean into this one?
For example, why have we not consider simple stress??? There are few things more debilitating than stress. Perhaps with Midway and Stalingrad decided, he could sense the war was slipping away. The anxiety could have left him with a host of physical and mental health issues.
This was the comment I was hoping to eventually see, I came for the history here and am Vegan and was confused as I have never heard of "hitting the wall" before and I have multiple Vegan friends as well.

RACE Does EXIST! Different races have varied outer and INNER characteristics that can and have been measured, which can be used to predict certain behaviours.
There's no such thing as race it's made up there's only one race in this world and it's called the human race. I don't judge people by the color of their skin or what they look like I judge them by the content of their character.

Roosevelt, Churchill and pretty much everyone around at the time accepted the existence of race and racial difference. They did not reach the same conclusions as Hitler. You say that acknowledging racial difference is a slippery slope to Nazism. I disagree. When you outlaw certain forms of thought you make them mystical and appealing. The typical Daily Mail reader knows that there is a difference between a Japanese woman and a Jamaican man. They do not suddenly start goose stepping upon realising.
Problem is that the "racial differences" argument is used a lot by, well, actual racists to justify everything they stand for.
Of course, a Jamaican woman is different from a Japanese one in cultural and racial aspects.

Hi, I disagree with many of your opinions but I'm a regular watcher of your videos because they are well-researched and entertaining. - Thank you for that!
In this video, when you are talking about Schwab's "great reset", you're using the term "judeo-capitalist system". What do you mean by that? Or are you quoting Schwab here?? A clarification would be very nice.
Thanks Tik! Thanks for the courage to put things where they belong, and I'm talking about the correlation between those horrible past episodes of human history and what is happening right now. Every time somebody thinks people need to be FORCED to be "better" and they have the power to enforce a radical social and economic change it invariably ends in desaster, and that is the case with the so called great reset.
I didn't see the whole video yet, but let me say these things are only possible because of another crucial feature of human nature: We have way more potential to be cowards, willingly ignorants and lazy before this kind of bullies, than potential to be bad persons, so I would say:everything Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and some other jolly chaps made until now were actually sponsored by the laziness and cowardice of the people; as what is happening (and about to happen) with the great reset.
So please people, stop talking and thinking about us, the people, as "the good ones"... in reality, we surrender, we comply, we obey. Nobody seems to understand why so educated people as the germans could be silent before what Hitler was doing in front of their noses. But the same is happening right now in front of OUR noses. We just obey, nobody even dares to ask a question, just went down our beds and waited to other people solve the current issue, you know what issue Im talking about. Good luck telling our grandsons why we let this to happen

so the details about the Pervetin side effects reminded me about a funny, silly story based on Indian Mythology... one of our epics, the Ramayana.
So the titular character Rama goes into exile for fourteen years, and his brother is one of the two people who go with him. This brother makes a deal with sleep itself, telling 'her' that he needs to stay awake to protect his brother and sister in law. He tells her not to bother him for these fourteen years and she agrees, on the condition that when she visits, he must not deny her.
And she chooses her moment at the hour when Rama has returned home and is being crowned King in a grand ceremony XD. So, yeah, I agree; never mess with your sleep cycle!
No one:
TIK: Madman Hitler!!!
That thumbnail deserves an award. That must have taken more time than to make the video.
Perhaps world war II wouldn't of happened if Hitler was on LSD. Imagine a world where a stoned, chilled and happy Hitler had existed.
*have happened* Present perfect tense. 'Of' is a preposition.
However, people do say "wouldn't 've happened" and that can sound like 'of happened', but when written like that, it doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't work like that. Give a hallucenogenic to someone who's violent or unpredictable and it just makes things a whole lot worse.
@@localbod OK. Sorry if my bad grammar on UA-cam comments has offended you.
@@hairychris444 Was Hitler violent and unpredictable? I don't believe that he could be described as having these traits.
@@Dale_The_Space_Wizard Perhaps I'm the one who should apologize. No offence meant and none taken.
I see that use of 'of' everywhere on the internet and being an ESL / TEFL teacher I usually say so, when perhaps it would be better to keep my mouth shut. Apologies.
I really do appreciate these videos, TIK; it is a great thing that you combat sensationalized narritives about WW2.

As a neuropharmacologist I have some serious reservations about some of the conclusions you have come to concerning Hitlers, and the German army as a whole’s drug use. I have a deep respect for this Chanel, the history and the insights you come to are fantastic, but it’s all too clear you don’t have a fundamental understanding of how a lot of these drugs work, or even what a lot of these drugs were/are. There are fair too many examples, and I would need to watch the video again and make notes, so from what I remember I will pick a couple of examples to illustrate what I’m trying to say.
Firstly pervitin is methamphetamine, and was incredibly common amongst the German population in the lead up to the war, and in the early stages of the war, it does actually improve concentration, physical and mental endurance etc for a time. Numerous studies, even a quite famous one in Germany in the 1930s involving students having to stay up writing and answering questions fir as long as possible, one group given methamphetamine and the other a placebo, I don’t know if it was a double blind study, I doubt it, but anyway it showed those on methamphetamine could concentrate far longer and keep on task than those on the placebo. Studies on amphetamine based drugs and stimulants in general have shown similar results, and in fact drugs like adderall, which contains a mixture of the two enantiomers of amphetamine are indicated and approved for use in various disorders, as are drugs like Ritalin. Amphetamine in fact was used by pretty much all sides in WW2 and is still used by some militaries to this day, fighter pilots for example may be given it, but only for short term use, and this is based on decades of research. These drugs used for performance enhancement, either mentally (you will see today the rise of drugs like modafinil in universities) or physically really only work over a couple of days, because after 3 days of no sleep you will start to either experience a “come down”, which is not ideal for soldiers, or if you continue to take the stimulant (which will require ever increasing quantities) cause some quite strange side effects, auditory and visual hallucinations, depression, hyper aggression (a common side effect of any drug that increases dopamine release) hypertension (or even hypotension in some cases), abdominal pain etc, none of which are conducive to a fighting force, and the Wehrmacht was aware of this, and various orders and stops and checks were put in place to reduce the consumption of the drug, and not only for the Heer. It is true they had access to pervitin especially in the French campaign, but the number of doses available were not limitless, and the adverse effects were noted, which is why in subsequent campaigns the use of pervitin was much smaller (also the clamping down I mentioned above). Your comments on Stalingrad don’t hold water with me, because it is well documented that by 1942 the use of pervitin was much lower that it had been in 1940. So for that example I both agree with some of your statements and conclusions and disagree, but I think that comes more from your lack of understanding just how these drugs work.
Another example is Eukadol (oxycodone I believe) which you call opium, which it is not, it is opiod, that is to say a synthetic drug that binds to opiod receptors, opium is essentially a mixture of naturally occurring opiates like morphine and codeine, which comes from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Staying on opiates I’d like to mention that Hermann Göring was in fact a morphine addict, an IV one at that, as a result of being shot in the leg during the beer hall putsch, I’m not aware of his cocaine use, but maybe. I’d also like to say that withdrawal from eukadol would not last months, it would be around one to two weeks for the acute withdrawal symptoms, possibly less, and there may be some protracted symptoms like depression or apathy that last up to 6 months, but these are quite different from the acute withdrawal symptoms that most people would associate with opiate addiction (one exception to this would be longer acting opiates like methadone, the withdrawal period can last up to 2 or 3 months but is much less severe, basically the shorter acting the opiate the more intense but shorter the acute withdrawal period and vice versa). Hitler was also given cocaine, I do not know when it was first given to him but it was at some point a part of the mixture that made up his daily (well more than daily) injections, he also used cocaine eye drops I believe. I also wonder why you did not mention that Hitlers health problems (the motor neurone ones anyway) could have been a sign of Parkinson’s disease, which a lot of people do use as evidence of his drug use as the condition is the result of the destruction of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra, though I would say his drug use probably didn’t cause this directly, but could have been a contributing factor, however as we do not have his brain to look at we simply don’t know, and are going off the notes of his doctors and late war footage of him.
Another point I want to mention is about IG Farben, which was a conglomerate chemical and pharmaceutical company made up from various other companies such as Bayer (famous for the synthesis of Heroin and Aspirin).
There are more incidents in your video of a basic lack of understanding of how these drugs work, or even what they are which I think should be amended. I really also have to disagree with your statement about veganism, it simply is not true that you cannot live without meat past a certain point, everything that meat contains you can get from lentils, nuts, beans etc and in fact the human digestive system struggles to break down red meat. So we can’t say that is the reason Hitler had stomach pains, again we have to work from the contemporary doctors records, and it’s quite a leap to conclude that his vegetarian diet caused his health to decline, this man was under tremendous stress and lived 75 years ago.
Anyways I apologise fir the rant but there were far too many flaws with your understanding of drugs and the human body and brain, which effect your conclusions, which is a real shame, I know pharmacology isn’t the easiest to understand, but Google is always there to help. You have probably had some of these come up already but if not, I hope this helps you and others understand some these points a little better, I have tried to keep the medical jargon down to a minimum as I know it isn’t necessary. Despite all of the above and more, I do think this is an important topic and the video helps to find that middle ground between people either denying drug use or saying everyone was in drugs all the time (which they were not). Cheers
Not going to lie the whole "race is a social construct" argument that you argued is a bit of a cop-out denying that each people (race in this case) aren't different, a non-argument so to say. There are obvious differences, both physically in genetics and body characteristics such as eye, hair and skin color and how their bodies have adapted to live in specific climates and environments as well as more broad things such as regional culture and ingenuity to their respected regions of the world. The common argument is "we're one race, the human race", yeah true, but there's sub races of humans. Dogs, for example exist, but there are different breeds. So to are their different types of humans, just like dogs who have different type's of physical characteristics and intelligence levels. Yes I am aware there are "exceptions" that people will use to undermine that idea such as above average IQ's in relatively low IQ countries or how there are fair eye and skin people in Pakistan but the point stands that people, no matter where they are in the world live by in groups and out groups on a primal level and they will always see stuff through a race-based lens, it's almost like its ingrained in us as a natural phenomena, as opposed to a social based construct. Race is real, and I could get into semantics but I don't want to make a fuss. Go to a foreign village or town somewhere off in Nigeria or Pakistan or Central Asia or Europe as an outsider and see how you are treated, most will say you're an outsider because you are an outsider. "Race" is yes a politically loaded, term but saying it doesn't exist or is a social construct is just kicking the can down the road and in my opinion denying a very real thing. Look at Japan for instance, they specifically have an identity for who "is" and "is not" Japanese, the Nihonjin (Japanese) and Gaikokujin (foreign people).
YES! Thank you sir, well put.
Miss me with that bullshit, I quote word for word “ Go to a foreign village or town somewhere off in Nigeria or Pakistan or Central Asia or Europe as an outsider and see how you are treated, most will say you're an outsider because you are an outsider.” Don’t shoehorn your bullshit into here and put words I didn’t say in my mouth. I have no hate for black men here in America, they have just as much of a right to this country as the European-Americans. Many may argue what they want but Blacks are part of the founding stock to the nation
I do love how you cut through all the bias and present the truth. I am irritated by people writing books with agendas. Goof job TIK!
Oh my god finally some of pervitin, thanks TIK
Not a mad man, a radical, every decision he made was based on his national socialist ideology, he understood mobile warfare but his national socialist beliefs, didn't allow for giving up ground, even in a mobile retreat that was a prelude to a pincer move to outflank the Russians, he just couldn't bring himself to give up any ground even if it ment 200,000 men would live to fight another day, its illogical but not because of drugs or madness, but because of his radical beliefs..
Also Pervitin DOES still exist n the US. It’s called “desoxyn”. Pure meth amphetamine and VERY hard to get and only from special pharmacies. Only for severe ADHD and mostly for those with narcolepsy.
That makes sense. Some people fall asleep while heating the oven
Be interesting to see what decisions Goering made, while being a morphine addict (DF118) or if any.
Probably you get more morphine and more stolen art.
Why get into human made categorization in the video. Race exist in the same way like gender exist, or sex, or species, or breed. They are all human made, but they are not pseudo science, and no serious biologist will say they are pseudo science. The max you see is them saying its a social construct, but that doesn't means much, gender is a social construct, and math as well is a social construct.
Race does exist. Its ridiculous to claim it doesn't, based on a random headline from some news site, instead of looking at the validity of the categorization of race in science. We use it for example in medicine.
All you can do is use phenotypes and genetic clusters just because the term "Race" is too politically charged, but thats about it. There is nothing inherently wrong about the concept of "race".
He likely had PTSD from 4 years at the Front in World War I. Yeah, really eh, he loved his dogs and wasn't a piss tank. Half the crap they say about him is likely false.
Honestly breaks my heart, especially since we only recently started understanding ptsd. Imagine being a leader of a nation like that and not being able to confide in those around you and break character, especially because ptsd wasn’t a really a thing.
Important video, Tik. I would echo your caution in in attributing widespread drug use to Hitler or the Wehrmacht.
In the first instance, it is is contrary to his very philosophy of being. For the wider armed forces, we must also look at the ability of the body to maintain itself for extended periods in extreme situations.
You have covered the eventual use of drugs by Hitler comprehensively and definitively. However, I would urge caution in agreeing to so readily accepting widespread use of drugs to enhance performance within the Wehrmacht even in 1941.
I have personally experienced both myself and through family members who fought in the Second World War of being able to operate for extended periods on minimal sleep. For example, my father who fought in the rear guard at Tobruk often recalled how they suffered onslaught and bombardments for weeks on end just catching a few minutes or an hour or two sleep whenever they could. This was out of necessity but also so by Arrangement with others in a unit who would cover for a designated person taking a brief rest while the others remained on duty.
There are certain requirements for this to occur. To maintain high performance over an extended period with minimal sleep is possible but requires the following:
- those attempting it need to be young
- they need to be physically fit
- they need to be engaged in a challenging and exciting environment
- they have to see a benefit or goal which the lack of sleep can achieve
- and strangely they need to derive a sense of excitement from the events around them.
When this is transposed into the invasion of Poland or France, or the invasion of Russia, the youth and uniqueness of the situation - rapid victories coming after the trench warfare of WWI - fits all of these criteria.
By contrast, drug use tends to be the result of desperation. Not necessarily borne out of depression but from the very necessary need to maintain performance in the face of adversity. This criteria is met perfectly by a retreat, withdrawal or a siege. To achieve results under conditions which are then likely to be personally hazardous or requiring superhuman strength, drug use then becomes essential even if for short periods of time.
I offer this as complementary comments to your perspective on widespread drug use and would remind you that even at times of of publicly claimed society-wide drug abuse, the majority of people are not taking those drugs and they are performing ably as normal individuals even in exceptional timed. As we often see even today, alcohol and drugs is freely taken (and given to) reporters who have different motivatikns and fear thresholds to the troops around them, often causing a misapprehension which becomes the 'truth' e.g. in Vietnam every soldier was a baby killer and high all the time.
Thanks again for batting a solid innings focommon n sense

“Race doesn’t exist” incorrect. Different races have different bone structures, physical features, different sized brains. It’s an evolutionary reality. Suddenly people think that evolution stops at human beings, or at the neck. Which is a completely political or religious idea, based in communism, the enlightenment or Christianity.
Evolution has caused us to evolve in different ways depending on how people live and their environment. This is basic stuff, but a lot of people are incapable of overcoming this thought. And it’s a topic that a lot of people don’t handle reasonably.
For anyone interested research FST. Which measures the genetic differences between populations. Europeans and Africans have the same level of genetic differences as between a North American wolf and a Coyote, which are actually classed as separate species by experts. I’m yet to meet a person who can debunk this. So in conclusion yes, races do exist.
@@Edax_Royeaux Yeah true, it sounds like he’s parroting something he’s heard rather than actually looking into the topic truthfully and coming to difficult but realistic conclusion.
If someone comes out and says there’s no such thing as race you know they either haven’t looked into it, are cowering to the mob, or they are a Christian, following enlightenment ideals or are a communist. Charles Darwin the man who “discovered” evolution believed in race. I’d rather take his view than a UA-cam historian who’s likely never studied evolutionary biology.
In chapter 7 of Origins of the species Charles Darwin makes it clear he thinks the various races of humans have similar mental capacities “and this fact can only be accounted for by the various races having similar inventive or mental powers .”
He does talk about human races but makes it clear humans the same species. You could argue that he had a black friend which made him biased I guess
Also its because somehow knowing such a reality suddenly makes everyone want to kill each other much more.
@@johnrockwell5834 Truth has to be exposed. The truth about Life, Humanity and Existence in general are truths that need to be spread the most, regardless of consequence
@@ryack6355
Sure. But its always the solutions regardless that determines what we do with them. Good or evil.
And BTFO those would use real problems to push genuine evil. Like how Karl Marx despite being accurate about the problems of industrial Society in many ways of course his solutions is even worse and evil.
My earlier explanation is why people deny the reality of race in the first place.

Race obviously isn't real guys. Ignore the fact that different races and cultures have been destroying the west for the past few decades.

@landscape I believe @TIK can make it through, and see the real truth, meaning that societies are a racial construct because we aren't all the same, every race has it's own soul and different unique characteristics.
I just write this here because I want you @TIK to remember my comment when you will swallow the redpill but you will be trapped in this new lie that race is a social construct, that race isn't real and you won't be able to say it because you will lose all of your credibility.
