Your talk about “curing” his opioid addiction by Americans in 1945 is absolute bullshit. He wasn’t “cured” just merely abstinent because he was a prisoner. Don’t spread the idea that there’s a cure of sorts. You know nothing about drugs, how they work and don’t work. Speak on fact. You’re poisoning the well.
'In 1945, Hitler committed suicide together with Eva Braun?' Wow.... How do you think we believe you for everything else if you say something like this?
Göring could have very easily became an addict through an obscure ww1 wound. I was wounded in combat when I served in iraq. I had very minor injuries from ied shrapnel but their locations made it look worse than it was. My medic popped me a morphine auto injector on the scene, and after that a subsequent surgeries, I became addicted to morphine/ opiates. It’s a nasty soul killing affliction.
In the book “The Nazi & the Psychiatrist”, the fat fascist told the Dr. his addiction began after being shot in 1923. However morphine drove him crazy for 5 years. Then he relapsed on sleeping and amphetamine pills before getting hooked on paracodeine. Eventually he was getting custom made microdose tablets and taking 160 per day. When arrested, he was in possession of the entire world’s supply of this drug. He was on about 40 per day, having flushed over 50,000 pills down the toilet as it would be dishonorable to carry around 100,000 tablets. “Nazis. I hate these guys.” - Indiana Jones
Gotta love morphine. It's fascinating though to think of people in powerful positions making big decisions when they are high as a kite. Great video, thank you 👍🏼
@@acbulgin2 Your correct about the paradoxical response to opioids. I had major vascular abdominal surgery and still take opioids, dilaudid .. I get more energetic when I take them at low doses, more sedate and "dopey" at higher doses. But my overall normal daily dosage is much more than the average pain management patient receives. Your correct. These medications effect each person differently.
@@RIFFRAFF104 Maybe that's what a super aggressive lad had outside a town centre pub, I was nearby in a stationary car. His shouting caught my attention, then he looked at me and started screaming and running towards me.... only problem for him was, my car soon outpaced him in second gear onwards. He seemed to have been high on some stimulant. I was glad I was in my car with my engine on at the time.
@@clavichord Wow.. Glad your safe. I work in EMS in a major US city, very urban, very violent. I deal with highly intoxicated people all night long. They are very unpredictable. It's best to just avoid them whey they are high or drunk.. Or both.
There have always been highly functioning drug addicts in our everyday world. Could be anyone. Your teacher, your doctor, your lawyer, your boss. You just never know about it until it all blows up
@@PortCityBalrog And no-one ever knows, either, that they are opioid users. I prefer not to use the word "addict" because it has pejorative connotation. In most areas, I prefer to use words that are absent of connotations. If someone has a habit that is doing more harm than good, I prefer to just say "person with a harmful habit." I prefer not to use pejoratives for people whose eating habits are hurting them. "Food addict?" Naah. Someone who eating habits are hurting them. When people overeat, physicians don't hold them in captivity and force a better diet upon them. When someone under-eats, physicians may hold them in captivity in "psychiatric wards" and force them to eat, or force food down their nasal passages. Both may have diets that may shorten their life. I think the reason for treating them differently is cultural, and not scientific. Culture is determining what they do, not scientific knowledge. But they try and pass it off as science. Same thing with the war on opioids. The war is being driven by cultural values, not scientific knowledge. We saw the same thing with homosexuality. Physicians used to try all kinds of things to get them to change, including medicine and surgery. The same thing used to be true with masturbation. Physicians used to clitorodectomies on masturbators. Up until the 1940's
Göring was in a plane crash, was severely injured and was given morphine for the pain while in the hospital. If you take morphine or heroin or opiates regularly for a couple weeks, you’ll become physically addicted. He is no different than the millions of other people you’ve never heard who had an injury or illness and were prescribed opiates for the pain. The reason many people never get off these drugs is because the withdrawal symptoms are worse than any flu or any fever that you’ve ever had; you feel extremely nauseous and extremely weak and then you start throwing up and sweating like crazy, you can’t sleep, can’t eat and can barely move, and it lasts for over a week. The reason that many people get back on it again after they’ve kicked it in rehab or on their own, is because it makes you feel like $1 million when you take it. But, that only lasts in the beginning; eventually you build up a tolerance and you’re not always going to feel like $1 million when you take it, usually you’re just taking it to feel ‘normal’.
Are you kidding? It took me almost a year to even begin to feel halfway normal. And at least 8 months of the withdrawels. I was prescribed percocet for 10 years and got off them on my own. No methadone, no suboxone, nothing. It was pure hell! I don't wish that feeling on my worst enemy! It was truly awful!
Opioid withdrawal is pure hell. The worst imo is the cold sweats and constant shaking. You are never comfortable and you never get a moment of respite from your symptoms. You feel extremely hot but the next moment you’re freezing. The only withdrawals that are worse are those of alcohol or benzodiazepines because heavy users can suffer seizures and even death.
@alef0811 I was fortunate enough to withdrawl from everything you mentioned at different times. I was never physically addicted to alcohol but being addicted to benzos is just as bad if not worse. I was on the edge of having a seizure many times but luckily never had one. I had a twitch when I looked sideways for almost a year after I stopped taking them..CBD was the only thing that gave me slight relief from the tension.
It was para-codeine. An opiate similar to OxyContin, which was also invented in Germany . Oxy was also called Eukacadol in Germany. In his last days goring was on just 2 tabs of normal codeine in Prison
If it’s a codeine base,I’d assume it to be closer a Hydrocodone (Vicodin) as OxyContin (extended release version of Oxycodone) is closer to a synthetic or semi-synthetic form of heroin.
One of my grand uncles developed a morphine addiction after being wounded in the trench fighting during WWI. Morphine addiction has been a common problem after all of the wars since WWI. Thanks for the great content and the accuracy and detail of your work. One thing though, crystal meth was available in Germany as an over the counter "pick me up". Hitler was known to be a meth addict. Perhaps meth was more responsible for Goring's sudden lift in energy.
Once addicted, opiates will *absolutely* provide you with an energy boost when you take a dose, especially if you’re in moderate to severe withdrawals prior to said dose. It immediately restores your body’s homeostasis, your sense of well-being, and a ‘warm’ wave of euphoria washes over you. It makes even the mundane seem interesting. People ‘nodding off’ from opiates are either ‘opiate naive’ or are using very large doses of extraordinarily potent opiates, such as heroin or fentanyl (or a mixture of the two).
Pervotin was given to the soldiers in the German wermacht and SS, which was methamphetamine. Us Brits had "wakey wakey" pills an amphetamine for air crew on long ops.
Speed was available in the USA and Canada legally for a long time. Truckers and many more could buy wake-up tablets in drug stores just like you would buy acetaminophen or any generic drug. The ban is quite recent
I’m an addict, clean for approximately 9 years. I don’t count the days anymore but morphine is a joke when you are an individual who consumes heroin. Which is obviously derived from morphine but much more potent. This would probably explain why he took such large quantities of the medication. That is a very hard life and it stinks. I would not wish addiction upon my worst enemy. Life becomes so much easier when you are not consumed by every hour of everyday seeking money to…when you develop a tolerance….just feel like a normal person as you most certainly did prior to addiction. It because a trivial pursuit and in all honesty makes no sense. But it is the withdrawal of opiates that keeps you motivated in your pursuit of numbness to your emotions and basically the ability to genuinely function as a person who has not been embraced in the evil arms of opioid addiction. If Goring was abusing Pervitin as a way to feel motivated and genuinely invincible then he was definitely in trouble. That is basically the pharmaceutical industry’s methamphetamine. He would most definitely need something to “come down” on. What better than morphine and or booze. I think Goring was no stranger to the intoxicating drink we all use hops and yeast to make, just to name a few. Beer was a staple alcoholic drink in Germany so I bet Goring would take morphine and drink just to calm down and get rest. Then pop Pervitin upon awakening. He became a fairy stout and robust fellow at one point but the photographs from the Nuremberg trials show him as a much lighter man yet still unhealthy looking.
I’ve been in recovery for 4 years, I needed treatment 10 years ago and when treatment was over I was addicted to morphine and fentanyl, I only weighed 92 pounds and was taking morphine er 15 mg 3X daily morphine 30 mg 3 x daily and a 150 mg fentanyl patch every other day. They put me on methadone for 2 years but didn’t want to take me off it, so I quit getting it, for 2 months my body hurt worse then it ever has. 5 years ago I hurt my back and relapsed. Like I said I’ve been clean for 4 years, never again will I take any pain killers from any doctor no matter what.
Please make a playlist of all your videos, and add to it it whenever you post? That makes it easy for me to binge watch and doze off to. You have such an easy voice to listen to
At the beginning of the 20th Century many of our ancestors were addicted to drugs such as morphine and cocaine. At one time Coca Cola contained cocaine and similar drugs were readily available over the counter.
I read it was a stash of dihydrocodiene and not morphine when he got caught. I forgot what percentage of the entire countries supply it was but it was a staggering percentage. It’s also why he lost so much weight during the trial because of him going through withdrawals and other symptoms.
That is my understanding, I a. Familiar with opioid drugs as I work with patients whose have various addictions. It seems that whilst most people who present these documentaries may know their history, but don't research the addiction side. Maybe they don't have the interest in addiction that I ha e and I think you do too.
@Luke Szweziuk you should made the video mate because I really learnt nothing from this video about his drug addiction it barely touched on it at all I thought he Goring got badly burned in his plane ww 1 and that was the start of his opioid habit plenty of high ranking Germans had opioid habits we don't know how Goring got the the drugs
@@joelmonkley6177 Goring was not an addict OMG he was given pills made of hair from Dr morel and they were caught nakid by hitler so they lied and said he likes eating poppies and hitlersaid ok but you better not be eating hair
When watching Adolf Schicklgruber's (Hitler) ranting and raving gigs at his Nuremberg Rallies, it is not unreasonable that he was a Psychopath high on amphetamines. It is a profound performance to watch.
The reason for the addiction, according to most that i have read,, was due to an aircraft accident after the war. It occurred in Sweden after his marriage.
Thank you for your splendid accounting of the underside of history that often we don’t get. Those who refuse to study history become…..well you know what they are.
Enjoyed this very much! More and more I'm finding drugs are frequently present and are a determining factor in all the great stories from the past and present that mostly remains unnoticed.
interesting fact about Hitler and the stab in the back theory: In WWI Hitler was a soldier and blamed the politicians for losing the war. In wwII Hitler was a politician and blamed the soldiers for losing the war.
Görings ‘drug’ habit was caused by a debilitating and extremely painful combat back injury. Forget any other guesswork or speculation. By the way, Richthofen was the most famous pilot of WW1, full stop.
@DVNGXR Some sources mention oxycodone (Eukodal), while others mention dihydrocodeine. Even Goering's guards at Nuremberg get the substances mixed up in interviews. And it's possible that Goering took different opioids when his regular substance wasn't available for whatever reason. Regardless, oxycodone is considerably more potent than dyhidrocodeine, but, for all intents and purposes, when one builds high tolerance, the effects are exactly the same, as both opioids metabolize into morphine or similar analogs or derivatives.
@leoarc1061 Yes, after doing more research, there seems to be conflicting reports on what exactly he was using or even caught with. He probably used all at different points. Accounting for varying dosages, most opiods are fairly similar. Although with his level of power, I doubt he would have any trouble getting whatever medicine he wanted, and I would assume he would take whichevers strongest, although that's just conjecture. Dihydrocodeine is significantly weaker than morphine, which is then significantly weaker than oxycodone.
Thank you for the well documented video and your keen analysis of Field Marshall Goring; first time I heard he was carrying all the opioid (24,000) pills when he was captured. Looking forward to your channel's next release.
I had not read that Goering had all of these pills. Maybe he did. He was addicted and that is for sure. During the VN War I was injured and put in a military hospital. They gave me enough demoral to float a boat for a month or two. I never became addicted. It put me to sleep.
Anger’s me as ex military them pain killers must have been so badly needed among soldiers,civilians children, that’s what I can’t understand he knew how badly such drugs were needed. And him a leader the shame of this act is never mentioned. In Nuremberg they should have asked why he needed so many.
Kind of embarrassing reading all the “drug experts” in the comments. The USA has so many problems with addiction but hey ho- “land of the free, home of the brave”
Very well done I especially enjoyed the details about the total affects his addiction had on his decisions all of them . Just because you don’t shoot up for one day doesn’t mean you have you have your addiction under control
He sounds like a true hero of WW1....but as the Chief of the Luftwaffe High Command during WW2 he was a disaster with his promises & logistical decisions😎
THE STUPID PRODUCERS FALSELY DESCRIBE MORPHINE AS A "STIMULANT". IT ISN'T. IT'S A DEPRESSANT. HIS BUZZED BEHAVIOR SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS CRUISING ON AMPHETAMINES. THESE PRODUCERS NEED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR DESCRIPTION OF "HISTORY".
Finally someone got it right, Hitler got Oxycodone and cocaine, eukodol was a stimulating narcotic, gives one a buzz rather than dreamland state of other opiates, Goering was in possession of 40,000 pills from what his guard stated. I can't find that video on UA-cam any more. Supposedly he hid the cyanide in a small hole scratched into the toilet seat. Hey who cares there all dead.
According to Leonard Mosley's biography of goering by the end of the war goering was taking mild paracodiene tablets. He would pop them in his mouth throughout the day. Something akin to methadone maintenance. Also the prison psychiatrist Douglass Kelly said in his memoirs that Goerings addiction wasn't as serious as was reported by the media.
Yeah opioids can change your brain chemistry so much for some people that maintenance is required to be functional in society in any way. One cannot shame someone for taking that responsible route, and decouple that from whatever other horrible actions they committed😊.
I flew fighters during the VN War. The flying was wonderful. I suspect that many of the WWI aircraft flew well and if their engines were reliable they were great flyers and the pilots liked flying them. It was dangerous however, average life span two weeks. Soooooo.
My mom grew up in Germany during the war and when the mothers would work in the fields they would put some poppy into there milk to keep the kids from crying etc . I have more stories but there the bad ones and how hard it was living in Germany during the war and my OPA was in the German army just grunt so they didn’t have any money . Then escaped the Russian side n fled to the Americans n my OPA used acid to burn off his ID number tattoo for the army . It’s a little more shady but that’s family secret
Only SS had tattoos, those were the blutgruppe so your blood type afaik and on the inside of the arm. Many to be POWs did what your opa did, i had a great uncle who went thru a similar story having fled stalingrad before the pincer closed and then walked back to germany on foot. He wasnt in the SS tho but an actual grunt with a gun and two feet. And he didnt have any tats. Not judging u or ur opa, war is hell and who knows how we would have acted..
For what it is worth, I 'ran' with Commonwealth airforce vets throughout the late 80s to the end of the 90s. Especially searched out vets who had been shot down and captured or had evaded. Without exception, all the captured airmen assured me they only felt safe when finally in the hands of the Luftwaffe who protected them against all comers like raging city mobs at recently bombed RR stations. To his credit Goering had a central role in having the 166 surviving allied airmen sent to Buchenwald concentration camp accused of being criminal "Terrorflieger", released to proper military prisons, against much 'Nazi' opposition.
The German Air force ran camps for captured allied airmen, they were relatively humane and not as draconian as those run by the wemacht nor the ones run by the SS.
he had to be kickin so fuckin hard in the prison in nuremberg. i’m suprised he didn’t take that cyanide capsule sooner then the night before they where scheduled to hung . If he could have just had a better hiding place to do those 20k opiate pills before they caught him . i’m an H addict and i know on a daily basis how miserable opiate withdrawal is both mentally and Physically!!! it’s the worst hell can’t even describe to anybody that hasn’t experienced it
For many morphine addicts the drug gives them energy. It gives them motivation to get stuff done, and be an overachiever as long as they have the fix. And some addicts become completely useless. It depends on your body chemistry. Either way, the moment the addict doesn't have the fix they go into extreme withdrawals physically for days, and mentally the withdrawals last for at least 1-5 years. Depends on how long one used. Dependency sucks. I don't recommend it. 😞
Well, I maybe mistaken, but Goering seemed to have recovered from his opioid withdrawal, physically and mentally, after a few weeks/months, as can been seen from the Nuremberg trial films
@@clavichord Yes he would definitely have been over the pain, nausea, diarrhea, the deepest darkest depression imaginable, running nose, restlessness etc. But trust me when I tell you. He would have immediately returned to opiates the day he was released had that happened. And whose to say he wasn't receiving Morphine during the trial? After all Lizzie Borden received Morphine during the year she was incarcerated.
Opiates actually have a very stimulating effect for a lot of addicts. It can depend on the dosage relative to tolerance. Often a lower dosage (in relation to whatever tolerance someone has) will almost have a cocaine/stimulant type of effect. It's similar to taking a few shots of vodka at a party. The physical depressant side effects happen after a certain threshold. My cousin was an opiate addict who you would assume was on stimulants. I had the same effect when taking percocets after a dental procedure. I was WIRED.
15:45: Loerzer and Goering were buddies from WWI. Loerzer lobbied for Goering's award of the Pour le Merite before the customary 20 victories. Goering received the Blue Max after his 18th victory, disgusting and alienating his squadron-mates.
I was pretty disappointed in morphine. I broke some ribs and was given morphine in an ER after a fall several years ago, and all it did was give me a warm feeling at the base of my spine and blur my vision for a short while. It neither relieved my pain, nor got me high. I’m don’t see what the big deal is all about.
Morphine and tramadol/Ultram both make me dizzy, irritable, whiny, and severely nauseous--I vomit uncontollably for hours, even after tiny doses. Strangely, I can handle both Dilaudid (with Zofran) and codeine very well--even though codeine breaks down into morphine in the body. I get constipated from 2 Tylenols with codeine, the usual adult dose, so I just take 1 instead. It's interesting how some drugs work so well for some people, while for other people, they don't work or cause miserable side effects.
No. 24,000 opioid tablets tells us nothing about how much pain-relief dosage there was. Were the tablets codeine? Were they morphine? Were they heroin. Morphine is 3 times more useful for pain than codeine Heroin is 3 times more useful than morphine. Furthermore, you didn't tell us the dosage in each tablet. Morphine tablets, today, vary in strength, from 10 mg each toi 100 mg each. One 100 mg morphine tab is about 1000 times as useful for relieving pain as one 5 mg codeine tablet. 24,000 tablets is close to meaningless if we are to understand how much pain-relieving power Goring had. If you are in pain, morphine is not a "problem;" it is a blessing. Judging people because they take morphine is stupid, and cruel. If I or a loved one am ever in pain, I want us to have all the morphine we need to get some control over the pain. Morphine does not make anyone violent. If you are crazed by severe pain, morphine calms you down, enables you to think straight.
Morphine is also how they " take out " alzheimer patients when they are swallowing their tongue. They fill them up with Morphine until they're dead. Did it to my mom.
@@andyokus5735 How did you find this out? I didn't know that alzheimer sufferers swallow their tongues. Do physicians say that that is what they do? I know that in hospice "care" they withhold water supposedly to smooth the dying process. I understand withholding food if someone can't hold it down,, but I don't really understand withholding water, either withholding water by mouth, or withholding intravenous water. I was getting home hospice care because they thought I had only 6 months to live, and despite the great amount of pain I was in, they refused to prescribe any opioids for me. First they asked me if I want opioid pain relievers even if it made me drowsy. I said yes. Then they refused to prescribe any. So I decided to go off of hospice care. if they weren't going to do anything for me. For some reason I have lived a year since they said I had only 6 months to live. But things hurt all over. The pain makes it difficult for me to do the things I need to do, to survive a little longer, day by day.
@@soilmanted The last thing that happens to alzheimer patients before they die is they try to swallow their tongues. They give them a mercy killing. It's really common knowledge.
@@andyokus5735 It's obviously not "common knowledge" because - I didn't know it. I'm not saying it isn't true. There are lots of things that are true that I don't know about.
@@soilmanted damn hope your situation isn't terminal. Anyway goering had 30mg dihydrocodeine tablets, they aren't that strong really hence 24,000 of them. You can easily take 100 of those tablets every day which would equal about 500mg oxy a day, a high dose yes but not unheard of
When I was at a hospital, to have an operation they gave me morfin. I was so sick for almost 3 weeks after that. I don't understand why some people like me, get sick of it, and other think it is a good idea.
This was a fascinating and well-done presentation. I’m still of the opinion that the origins of Goering’s morphine addiction may lie elsewhere. Many highly respected historians trace his addiction to combat wounds suffered during WWI and specifically to treatment he received in Sweden. You may be correct in your assessment of his medical history and how he came to become so wholly dependent upon this very useful and lifesaving drug (in the right hands, for legitimate purposes, under strict supervision) that also when abused obviously continues to addict and kill tens of thousands of people, together with other opioids such as Fentanyl. I would respectfully take issue with your statement that this NAZI bastard was in any way “cured” of his morphine addiction by the time of his suicide. American and British military physicians may have weaned him off of the massive doses he had been self-administering for potentially decades, but, having worked in the frontlines of medicine and seen the devastating effects of addiction in all its phases, Goering was not “cured.” He likely died still experiencing massive cravings for his drug of choice, severe gastrointestinal distress (which can last for years following cessation of the opioid), chronic, intractable insomnia, shakiness, dysphoria, irritability and many other chronic effects of morphine withdrawal. Not that I have one ounce of sympathy for the monster. He made his choices freely in life, and will be remembered as one of humanity’s most monstrous villains. Remember his and all NAZI victims. Nonetheless, your presentation was very interesting and informative. TY.
Yeah there's no way he was cured. As I am discovering after a long term opioid addiction recovery is slow and painful. After a decade of addiction it would take a year or two. Goering was heavily addicted for over two.
@@angusyates828 : Thank you for sharing such a personal experience and perspective on the awful disease of addiction. Wherever you live, I hope you have access to caring physicians specializing in addiction medicine and a strong support network. Stick with it! I’ll be rooting for you. Fortunately, we now have a whole new class of drugs to assist in the management and treatment of opioid addiction and withdrawal symptoms. Best wishes.
Thank you so much for covering this subject in detail. But only 24,000 opioid tablets? Göring was a lightweight?! Live and learn. (My autobiography should be published this year, if this sort of thing interests you check it out.)
He got wounded during the Beer Putsch in 1923. He started taking Opioids as Pain killers. He accidentally got adicted to the Opioids like hundreds thousands others at the time. Thats all there is to this story!
His serious injury was a bullet to the Groin. Yes shot in or near his manhood. So he had DAMN GOOD reason to take Morphine. Some people live every moment of every day in pain enough to drive most people crazy. Some people are allergic to non opoid pain medications and are have no choice. How do I know this you ask? I, unfortunately, am one such person. After nearly having my right leg, from knee down, almost ripped off at work in 1991 and 13 reconstruction surgeries, I have had to live on opoid medication . It's called Pain Management and without it, I can hardly stand much less walk. I have not run or fully extended or stretched my right knee since. I can't. My surgeon wants me to wait for full replacement surgery until I'm 60 and that is 2 more years away. However I have lost 4 family members and 2 friends to secondary infections after knee replacements so until medical technology and materials used to make artificial knee joints improves, I won't let them touch me again.
@@andyokus5735 really? I tried to taper off codeine too fast and I could not sleep for a month. This after taking a lot of it over years. I don't think it's the amount, although I took a large dose every day, once a day, but just doing it every single day for years, then try to quit too fast? no thanks. it was miserable not being able to sleep. and restless legs etc
I knew about this in the book: insife the third Reich by Albert Speer. Speer also noticed how Goering was a moment angry them after a visit yo the restroom, he was super happy.
I've been addicted to opiates for around 7 years I kicked smack but I'm now on a program now I get an injection once a month what pretty well stops the withdraws it's put into my muscle in my stomach not veins
8:15 Very interesting that central banks were calling in their markers for providing weapons in world war 1 which is why the great depression happened. Then, the same banks funded both sides of World War 2 and have repeatedly made the same play throughout history...we still haven't paid the entire debt for the first one, according to our economy today.

There have always been highly functioning drug addicts in our everyday world. Could be anyone. Your teacher, your doctor, your lawyer, your boss. You just never know about it until it all blows up
Actors Peter Lorie and Bella Lugosi were functioning addicts.
True. There are many functional addicts that fly below the radar until...... I think of the actor, Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Most of the time it never blows up
@@PortCityBalrog And no-one ever knows, either, that they are opioid users. I prefer not to use the word "addict" because it has pejorative connotation. In most areas, I prefer to use words that are absent of connotations. If someone has a habit that is doing more harm than good, I prefer to just say "person with a harmful habit." I prefer not to use pejoratives for people whose eating habits are hurting them. "Food addict?" Naah. Someone who eating habits are hurting them. When people overeat, physicians don't hold them in captivity and force a better diet upon them. When someone under-eats, physicians may hold them in captivity in "psychiatric wards" and force them to eat, or force food down their nasal passages. Both may have diets that may shorten their life. I think the reason for treating them differently is cultural, and not scientific. Culture is determining what they do, not scientific knowledge. But they try and pass it off as science. Same thing with the war on opioids. The war is being driven by cultural values, not scientific knowledge. We saw the same thing with homosexuality. Physicians used to try all kinds of things to get them to change, including medicine and surgery. The same thing used to be true with masturbation. Physicians used to clitorodectomies on masturbators. Up until the 1940's
Or the President's son! 😂!
Göring was in a plane crash, was severely injured and was given morphine for the pain while in the hospital. If you take morphine or heroin or opiates regularly for a couple weeks, you’ll become physically addicted. He is no different than the millions of other people you’ve never heard who had an injury or illness and were prescribed opiates for the pain. The reason many people never get off these drugs is because the withdrawal symptoms are worse than any flu or any fever that you’ve ever had; you feel extremely nauseous and extremely weak and then you start throwing up and sweating like crazy, you can’t sleep, can’t eat and can barely move, and it lasts for over a week. The reason that many people get back on it again after they’ve kicked it in rehab or on their own, is because it makes you feel like $1 million when you take it. But, that only lasts in the beginning; eventually you build up a tolerance and you’re not always going to feel like $1 million when you take it, usually you’re just taking it to feel ‘normal’.
Are you kidding? It took me almost a year to even begin to feel halfway normal. And at least 8 months of the withdrawels. I was prescribed percocet for 10 years and got off them on my own. No methadone, no suboxone, nothing. It was pure hell! I don't wish that feeling on my worst enemy! It was truly awful!
Opioid withdrawal is pure hell. The worst imo is the cold sweats and constant shaking. You are never comfortable and you never get a moment of respite from your symptoms. You feel extremely hot but the next moment you’re freezing. The only withdrawals that are worse are those of alcohol or benzodiazepines because heavy users can suffer seizures and even death.
Keith Richards writes about this in his memoir 'Life'.
He was part and parcel of trying to take over the world.
@alef0811 I was fortunate enough to withdrawl from everything you mentioned at different times. I was never physically addicted to alcohol but being addicted to benzos is just as bad if not worse. I was on the edge of having a seizure many times but luckily never had one. I had a twitch when I looked sideways for almost a year after I stopped taking them..CBD was the only thing that gave me slight relief from the tension.
It was para-codeine. An opiate similar to OxyContin, which was also invented in Germany . Oxy was also called Eukacadol in Germany. In his last days goring was on just 2 tabs of normal codeine in Prison
Also Methadone..
A.K.A. Hitler's Heroin
If it’s a codeine base,I’d assume it to be closer a Hydrocodone (Vicodin) as OxyContin (extended release version of Oxycodone) is closer to a synthetic or semi-synthetic form of heroin.
The allied doctors successfully weaned him off. He lost a ton of weight too.
He was on Dihydrocodeine by the time he surrendered. It's a weaker Hydrocodone but stronger Codeine.
He was arrested with eukodol which is oxycodone.
One of my grand uncles developed a morphine addiction after being wounded in the trench fighting during WWI. Morphine addiction has been a common problem after all of the wars since WWI. Thanks for the great content and the accuracy and detail of your work. One thing though, crystal meth was available in Germany as an over the counter "pick me up". Hitler was known to be a meth addict. Perhaps meth was more responsible for Goring's sudden lift in energy.
Once addicted, opiates will *absolutely* provide you with an energy boost when you take a dose, especially if you’re in moderate to severe withdrawals prior to said dose. It immediately restores your body’s homeostasis, your sense of well-being, and a ‘warm’ wave of euphoria washes over you. It makes even the mundane seem interesting.
People ‘nodding off’ from opiates are either ‘opiate naive’ or are using very large doses of extraordinarily potent opiates, such as heroin or fentanyl (or a mixture of the two).
Pervotin was given to the soldiers in the German wermacht and SS, which was methamphetamine. Us Brits had "wakey wakey" pills an amphetamine for air crew on long ops.
Speed was available in the USA and Canada legally for a long time. Truckers and many more could buy wake-up tablets in drug stores just like you would buy acetaminophen or any generic drug. The ban is quite recent
In Germany in the 30's meth was sold in chocolates and used for weight loss.
The nazis even had a medication with oxy, coke and meth all in one.
I’m an addict, clean for approximately 9 years. I don’t count the days anymore but morphine is a joke when you are an individual who consumes heroin. Which is obviously derived from morphine but much more potent. This would probably explain why he took such large quantities of the medication. That is a very hard life and it stinks. I would not wish addiction upon my worst enemy. Life becomes so much easier when you are not consumed by every hour of everyday seeking money to…when you develop a tolerance….just feel like a normal person as you most certainly did prior to addiction. It because a trivial pursuit and in all honesty makes no sense. But it is the withdrawal of opiates that keeps you motivated in your pursuit of numbness to your emotions and basically the ability to genuinely function as a person who has not been embraced in the evil arms of opioid addiction. If Goring was abusing Pervitin as a way to feel motivated and genuinely invincible then he was definitely in trouble. That is basically the pharmaceutical industry’s methamphetamine. He would most definitely need something to “come down” on. What better than morphine and or booze. I think Goring was no stranger to the intoxicating drink we all use hops and yeast to make, just to name a few. Beer was a staple alcoholic drink in Germany so I bet Goring would take morphine and drink just to calm down and get rest. Then pop Pervitin upon awakening. He became a fairy stout and robust fellow at one point but the photographs from the Nuremberg trials show him as a much lighter man yet still unhealthy looking.
Yep you got it all there in your comment!
Suboxone helped me
@@vicvega3614 How is Suboxone different from Buprenorphine?
I’ve been in recovery for 4 years, I needed treatment 10 years ago and when treatment was over I was addicted to morphine and fentanyl, I only weighed 92 pounds and was taking morphine er 15 mg 3X daily morphine 30 mg 3 x daily and a 150 mg fentanyl patch every other day. They put me on methadone for 2 years but didn’t want to take me off it, so I quit getting it, for 2 months my body hurt worse then it ever has. 5 years ago I hurt my back and relapsed. Like I said I’ve been clean for 4 years, never again will I take any pain killers from any doctor no matter what.

Hahaha 24.000 pills and IT WAS for his personal use. Man! This is one addict that didn't mess around.
24k pills would not last him very long
At the beginning of the 20th Century many of our ancestors were addicted to drugs such as morphine and cocaine. At one time Coca Cola contained cocaine and similar drugs were readily available over the counter.
10:53 lmao Goering literally pulled the ol’ “doing a line in the bathroom” trick
I read it was a stash of dihydrocodiene and not morphine when he got caught. I forgot what percentage of the entire countries supply it was but it was a staggering percentage. It’s also why he lost so much weight during the trial because of him going through withdrawals and other symptoms.
That is my understanding, I a. Familiar with opioid drugs as I work with patients whose have various addictions.
It seems that whilst most people who present these documentaries may know their history, but don't research the addiction side.
Maybe they don't have the interest in addiction that I ha e and I think you do too.

The reason for the addiction, according to most that i have read,, was due to an aircraft accident after the war. It occurred in Sweden after his marriage.

Fantastic work, man. The accuracy here made me subscribe and hit the bell on the spot. Good quality history, well written.
Goring details his drug addiction in the revelatory book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist”. It’s a difficult read about this terrible man.
opiates don't have much effect when you're addicted.you're very rarely off your head,or nodding.it just brings you back to normality .
At the time of his arrest Goering wasn't a morphine addict.
He was addicted to dihydrocodeine. There is a big difference between the two drugs.
No he was arrested with eukodol which is oxycodone.
Tbh theres not a big difference between different opiods though, its mainly just potency.
@DVNGXR Some sources mention oxycodone (Eukodal), while others mention dihydrocodeine. Even Goering's guards at Nuremberg get the substances mixed up in interviews. And it's possible that Goering took different opioids when his regular substance wasn't available for whatever reason.
Regardless, oxycodone is considerably more potent than dyhidrocodeine, but, for all intents and purposes, when one builds high tolerance, the effects are exactly the same, as both opioids metabolize into morphine or similar analogs or derivatives.
@leoarc1061 Yes, after doing more research, there seems to be conflicting reports on what exactly he was using or even caught with. He probably used all at different points. Accounting for varying dosages, most opiods are fairly similar.
Although with his level of power, I doubt he would have any trouble getting whatever medicine he wanted, and I would assume he would take whichevers strongest, although that's just conjecture. Dihydrocodeine is significantly weaker than morphine, which is then significantly weaker than oxycodone.
Bet that was some cold turkey thought he looked a lot thinner in his trial
He might of been a monster but he knew how to party
I read somewhere that Goring owned a pet lion that he kept at his mansion
He had several. He'd trade them out when the got more *lion* than cub.
Thank you for the well documented video and your keen analysis of Field Marshall Goring; first time I heard he was carrying all the opioid (24,000) pills when he was captured. Looking forward to your channel's next release.
I had not read that Goering had all of these pills. Maybe he did. He was addicted and that is for sure. During the VN War I was injured and put in a military hospital. They gave me enough demoral to float a boat for a month or two. I never became addicted. It put me to sleep.
Anger’s me as ex military them pain killers must have been so badly needed among soldiers,civilians children, that’s what I can’t understand he knew how badly such drugs were needed. And him a leader the shame of this act is never mentioned. In Nuremberg they should have asked why he needed so many.

Kind of embarrassing reading all the “drug experts” in the comments. The USA has so many problems with addiction but hey ho- “land of the free, home of the brave”
Very well done I especially enjoyed the details about the total affects his addiction had on his decisions all of them . Just because you don’t shoot up for one day doesn’t mean you have you have your addiction under control
He sounds like a true hero of WW1....but as the Chief of the Luftwaffe High Command during WW2 he was a disaster with his promises & logistical decisions😎
Just say "no" Hermann!
THE STUPID PRODUCERS FALSELY DESCRIBE MORPHINE AS A "STIMULANT". IT ISN'T. IT'S A DEPRESSANT. HIS BUZZED BEHAVIOR SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS CRUISING ON AMPHETAMINES. THESE PRODUCERS NEED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR DESCRIPTION OF "HISTORY".
Very interesting topic that is only briefly covered by every video I have seen about Goering. Well done
I bet he was super constipated.
Eukodol contained Oxycodone, not morphine.
Finally someone got it right, Hitler got Oxycodone and cocaine, eukodol was a stimulating narcotic, gives one a buzz rather than dreamland state of other opiates, Goering was in possession of 40,000 pills from what his guard stated. I can't find that video on UA-cam any more. Supposedly he hid the cyanide in a small hole scratched into the toilet seat. Hey who cares there all dead.
Well he used it all.
Damn there's at least 15 great history UA-cam channels and not one is THE HISTORY CHANNEL. Kind of odd regardless great video...
According to Leonard Mosley's biography of goering by the end of the war goering was taking mild paracodiene tablets. He would pop them in his mouth throughout the day. Something akin to methadone maintenance. Also the prison psychiatrist Douglass Kelly said in his memoirs that Goerings addiction wasn't as serious as was reported by the media.
Yeah opioids can change your brain chemistry so much for some people that maintenance is required to be functional in society in any way.
One cannot shame someone for taking that responsible route, and decouple that from whatever other horrible actions they committed😊.
Chronic pain patient such vitriol against the use of opioids. The man was part of the evil that were the nazis.
LOOK AT THOSE TEETH!!!JUST CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT GERMANY, CAN YOU?LIMEY FRUIT CAKE!!!
The balls it took to get into those WW1-era planes and dogfight is amazing.
I flew fighters during the VN War. The flying was wonderful. I suspect that many of the WWI aircraft flew well and if their engines were reliable they were great flyers and the pilots liked flying them. It was dangerous however, average life span two weeks. Soooooo.

My mom grew up in Germany during the war and when the mothers would work in the fields they would put some poppy into there milk to keep the kids from crying etc . I have more stories but there the bad ones and how hard it was living in Germany during the war and my OPA was in the German army just grunt so they didn’t have any money . Then escaped the Russian side n fled to the Americans n my OPA used acid to burn off his ID number tattoo for the army . It’s a little more shady but that’s family secret
Only SS had tattoos, those were the blutgruppe so your blood type afaik and on the inside of the arm. Many to be POWs did what your opa did, i had a great uncle who went thru a similar story having fled stalingrad before the pincer closed and then walked back to germany on foot. He wasnt in the SS tho but an actual grunt with a gun and two feet. And he didnt have any tats. Not judging u or ur opa, war is hell and who knows how we would have acted..
Funny he didn't have any Withdrawal symptoms during court?
Very nice work 👌 Thank you for sharing 👍
Germany should have been disqualified out of WW1 for doping
For what it is worth, I 'ran' with Commonwealth airforce vets throughout the late 80s to the end of the 90s. Especially searched out vets who had been shot down and captured or had evaded. Without exception, all the captured airmen assured me they only felt safe when finally in the hands of the Luftwaffe who protected them against all comers like raging city mobs at recently bombed RR stations.
To his credit Goering had a central role in having the 166 surviving allied airmen sent to Buchenwald concentration camp accused of being criminal "Terrorflieger", released to proper military prisons, against much 'Nazi' opposition.
The German Air force ran camps for captured allied airmen, they were relatively humane and not as draconian as those run by the wemacht nor the ones run by the SS.
he had to be kickin so fuckin hard in the prison in nuremberg. i’m suprised he didn’t take that cyanide capsule sooner then the night before they where scheduled to hung .

Manfred Von Richthofen, 'probably' the most famous fighter pilot of WW1? Bit of an understatement I would say.
For many morphine addicts the drug gives them energy. It gives them motivation to get stuff done, and be an overachiever as long as they have the fix. And some addicts become completely useless. It depends on your body chemistry. Either way, the moment the addict doesn't have the fix they go into extreme withdrawals physically for days, and mentally the withdrawals last for at least 1-5 years. Depends on how long one used. Dependency sucks. I don't recommend it. 😞
Been addicted?
my guess is its the dopamine that opioids release. I’m ginger so opioids never really did much for me
@@poindextertunes doesn't work that way. Trust me on this.
Well, I maybe mistaken, but Goering seemed to have recovered from his opioid withdrawal, physically and mentally, after a few weeks/months, as can been seen from the Nuremberg trial films
@@clavichord Yes he would definitely have been over the pain, nausea, diarrhea, the deepest darkest depression imaginable, running nose, restlessness etc. But trust me when I tell you. He would have immediately returned to opiates the day he was released had that happened. And whose to say he wasn't receiving Morphine during the trial? After all Lizzie Borden received Morphine during the year she was incarcerated.
One issue..Morphine isn't a stimulant. It's a narcotic nervous system depressant.
Opiates actually have a very stimulating effect for a lot of addicts. It can depend on the dosage relative to tolerance. Often a lower dosage (in relation to whatever tolerance someone has) will almost have a cocaine/stimulant type of effect. It's similar to taking a few shots of vodka at a party. The physical depressant side effects happen after a certain threshold. My cousin was an opiate addict who you would assume was on stimulants. I had the same effect when taking percocets after a dental procedure. I was WIRED.
He was also found at home ,high on Mescalin playing with diamonds
Opiates are sedatives, not stimulants.
Stopped right then and there, thanks for the lies and wasting my time.
Can you imagine what his colon was like. Constipation like crazy.
15:45: Loerzer and Goering were buddies from WWI. Loerzer lobbied for Goering's award of the Pour le Merite before the customary 20 victories. Goering received the Blue Max after his 18th victory, disgusting and alienating his squadron-mates.
Not easy waging total war most your life i guess.
I was pretty disappointed in morphine. I broke some ribs and was given morphine in an ER after a fall several years ago, and all it did was give me a warm feeling at the base of my spine and blur my vision for a short while. It neither relieved my pain, nor got me high. I’m don’t see what the big deal is all about.
Morphine and tramadol/Ultram both make me dizzy, irritable, whiny, and severely nauseous--I vomit uncontollably for hours, even after tiny doses.
Strangely, I can handle both Dilaudid (with Zofran) and codeine very well--even though codeine breaks down into morphine in the body. I get constipated from 2 Tylenols with codeine, the usual adult dose, so I just take 1 instead.
It's interesting how some drugs work so well for some people, while for other people, they don't work or cause miserable side effects.
No. 24,000 opioid tablets tells us nothing about how much pain-relief dosage there was. Were the tablets codeine? Were they morphine? Were they heroin. Morphine is 3 times more useful for pain than codeine Heroin is 3 times more useful than morphine. Furthermore, you didn't tell us the dosage in each tablet. Morphine tablets, today, vary in strength, from 10 mg each toi 100 mg each. One 100 mg morphine tab is about 1000 times as useful for relieving pain as one 5 mg codeine tablet. 24,000 tablets is close to meaningless if we are to understand how much pain-relieving power Goring had. If you are in pain, morphine is not a "problem;" it is a blessing. Judging people because they take morphine is stupid, and cruel. If I or a loved one am ever in pain, I want us to have all the morphine we need to get some control over the pain. Morphine does not make anyone violent. If you are crazed by severe pain, morphine calms you down, enables you to think straight.
Morphine is also how they " take out " alzheimer patients when they are swallowing their tongue. They fill them up with Morphine until they're dead. Did it to my mom.
@@andyokus5735 How did you find this out? I didn't know that alzheimer sufferers swallow their tongues. Do physicians say that that is what they do? I know that in hospice "care" they withhold water supposedly to smooth the dying process. I understand withholding food if someone can't hold it down,, but I don't really understand withholding water, either withholding water by mouth, or withholding intravenous water. I was getting home hospice care because they thought I had only 6 months to live, and despite the great amount of pain I was in, they refused to prescribe any opioids for me. First they asked me if I want opioid pain relievers even if it made me drowsy. I said yes. Then they refused to prescribe any. So I decided to go off of hospice care. if they weren't going to do anything for me. For some reason I have lived a year since they said I had only 6 months to live. But things hurt all over. The pain makes it difficult for me to do the things I need to do, to survive a little longer, day by day.
@@soilmanted The last thing that happens to alzheimer patients before they die is they try to swallow their tongues. They give them a mercy killing. It's really common knowledge.

@@soilmanted damn hope your situation isn't terminal. Anyway goering had 30mg dihydrocodeine tablets, they aren't that strong really hence 24,000 of them. You can easily take 100 of those tablets every day which would equal about 500mg oxy a day, a high dose yes but not unheard of
He was just on Morphine due to his back injuries from WWI, he got addicted later on like all who use it.
And it was not a theory it was a fact.
When I was at a hospital, to have an operation they gave me morfin. I was so sick for almost 3 weeks after that. I don't understand why some people like me, get sick of it, and other think it is a good idea.
Excellent video! Please make a video about Donald Trump Junior's drug habit.
This was a fascinating and well-done presentation. I’m still of the opinion that the origins of Goering’s morphine addiction may lie elsewhere. Many highly respected historians trace his addiction to combat wounds suffered during WWI and specifically to treatment he received in Sweden. You may be correct in your assessment of his medical history and how he came to become so wholly dependent upon this very useful and lifesaving drug (in the right hands, for legitimate purposes, under strict supervision) that also when abused obviously continues to addict and kill tens of thousands of people, together with other opioids such as Fentanyl. I would respectfully take issue with your statement that this NAZI bastard was in any way “cured” of his morphine addiction by the time of his suicide. American and British military physicians may have weaned him off of the massive doses he had been self-administering for potentially decades, but, having worked in the frontlines of medicine and seen the devastating effects of addiction in all its phases, Goering was not “cured.” He likely died still experiencing massive cravings for his drug of choice, severe gastrointestinal distress (which can last for years following cessation of the opioid), chronic, intractable insomnia, shakiness, dysphoria, irritability and many other chronic effects of morphine withdrawal. Not that I have one ounce of sympathy for the monster. He made his choices freely in life, and will be remembered as one of humanity’s most monstrous villains. Remember his and all NAZI victims. Nonetheless, your presentation was very interesting and informative. TY.
Yeah there's no way he was cured. As I am discovering after a long term opioid addiction recovery is slow and painful. After a decade of addiction it would take a year or two. Goering was heavily addicted for over two.

Absolutely fantastic presentation. It's great that the discarded mantle of the history channel has been picked up by creators like you and your team.
His serious injury was a bullet to the Groin. Yes shot in or near his manhood. So he had DAMN GOOD reason to take Morphine. Some people live every moment of every day in pain enough to drive most people crazy. Some people are allergic to non opoid pain medications and are have no choice. How do I know this you ask? I, unfortunately, am one such person. After nearly having my right leg, from knee down, almost ripped off at work in 1991 and 13 reconstruction surgeries, I have had to live on opoid medication . It's called Pain Management and without it, I can hardly stand much less walk. I have not run or fully extended or stretched my right knee since. I can't. My surgeon wants me to wait for full replacement surgery until I'm 60 and that is 2 more years away. However I have lost 4 family members and 2 friends to secondary infections after knee replacements so until medical technology and materials used to make artificial knee joints improves, I won't let them touch me again.
Morphine is very addicting but modern prescription Morphine is not very strong compared to Hydrocodone or Oxycodone.
