  • Some had more fun during history's deadliest conflict than others.
    "Koivunen was assigned to a ski patrol on 20 April 1944, along with several other men. Three days into their mission, on March 18th, the group was attacked and surrounded by Soviet forces, from which they managed to escape. Koivunen became fatigued after skiing for a long distance, but could not stop. He was also the sole carrier of army-issue Pervitin, or methamphetamine, a stimulant used to remain awake while on duty. Koivunen had trouble pulling out a single pill, so he emptied the entire bottle of thirty capsules into his hand and took them all.
    He had a short burst of energy, but then entered into a state of delirium, and lost consciousness. Koivunen remembered waking up the following morning, separated from his patrol and having no supplies. In the following days, he escaped Soviet forces once again, was injured by a land mine, and laid in a ditch for a week waiting for help. After skiing more than 400 km (250 miles) he was found and admitted to a nearby hospital, where his heart rate was measured at 200 beats per minute, double the average human heartbeat, and weighing only 43 kg (94 pounds). In the week Koivunen was gone, he subsisted only on pine buds and a single Siberian jay that he caught and ate raw."

    I need to make a few corrections to this video. I'm from Finland. He didn't eat all of the pills at once. He swallowed a bunch of them because they were chased by the Russians and they were in hurry. It's not said how many he ate at first, but obviously more than he should have, lol. He also ate the pills later on. It's mentioned that when he had passed the Russian camp and Russians were chasing him again, he at that point also ate those pills to be able to get rid of the chasers. He was part of the Finnish special forces, a commando. They were basically Finlands most elite soldiers who did the most demanding tasks. Maybe that's why he was capable to ski like a madman and maybe those pills had some part as well ;) hahaha. These things happened in March 1944 in between Kantalahti and Salla.The temperatures were in between -15 to -30 Celcius.

    • @nicolasnod7359
      @nicolasnod7359 2 роки тому +208

      A few notes to keep in mind, about him being the Finland version of a green beret, a special forces soldier of an army that with around 15.000 soldiers held off the soviet advance of 450.000 for over a year, (until they declared the soviets winners but with a lot more breathing room than initially demanded by the soviets, as they had a puppet leader in finland).
      So you can imagine how freaking good a special forces soldier from such an army is, keeping in mind that the skills they handled best were survival and recconoisance.
      An absolute mad lad.

    Imagine you're a soviet regular, already having heard the black legend of the elite Finnish "ghost" soldiers. Encamped in the middle of the forest, you stand restless on your post. Suddenly, you hear a cry in the distance and feel the wind on your face. You turn around and then you see it. An unholy demon speeding towards you, dressed in sooted rags, his eyes big like dinner plates, laughing like a maniac. You draw your rifle, but it is too late. By sheer luck he misses you by an inch. Your squadmates initiate pursuit, but he is simply too fast for mortal men. He is not concerned neither by bullets flying his way or the limits of the human condition that the pursuing party must consider. He is gone, the only thing left is the diabolic laughter in the air. He will be back.

Meth doesn't give withdraws - a meth user can stop using meth ANY time and all that will happen is they will sleep a lot because the body's repairing itself, and eating a lot to catch up for all the food not eaten while on meth... it's a mental addiction, the person enjoys it a lot so they are hooked. With heroin, however, you get horrible withdraws that stop you from getting clean even if you desperately want to. I was a heroin addict for 6 years and HATED the drug for most that time but couldn't get off it because of how horrifying the withdraws are. Been in and out of rehabs during that time, seen thousands of meth addicts and thousands of heroin addicts, i know the difference.

      I have a theory that overuse of stimulants during the war lead to addictions, especially among doctors (only anecdotal, I doubt anyone's ever made a study of this). This then lead to an extremely restrictive policy wrt medicines of this type (most things effectively banned since the early sixties). Which is barely getting better now, nearly 60 years later.

Felt like I was going to die when coming down from it, like my organs were shutting down and it felt like they were rotting. Took about a week to start feeling normal again, then it was back to partying from peer pressure of others. Got paid on Fridays and by Sundays, was flat broke from it. Got tired of that world, decided to clean up and grow responsilities and so I quit on my own. Glad I did. I BARELY even drink anymore either. Maybe 1, or 2 beers every 6 months?

      Probably the training is second nature. Military survival training they probably had, plus just being a Finn they had experience dealing with cold. He didn't remember being conscious at times but that doesn't mean he wasn't "conscious" as far as being able to function.

    Just being on the Finnish side of the Winter War makes you a legend, meth or no meth. If you get a chance, read about it. The Finnish were wildly outnumbered and lost, but at a massive cost to the Russians. The Finnish were some of the toughest, fiercest soldiers in the history of war. It seems tough climates produce tough people.

      Yes. But this is not the Winter war 1939-40, but the Continuation war 1941 - 44.
      Pervitin was never as widely used in Finnish army as it was in the German, mostly been distributed to these kinds of Kaukopartio ( Literally long-distance patrols ) that performed reconnaissance and sabotage deep in the Soviet territory.
      It was not until after the WW2 that the drugs like pervitin really became a national epidemic in the desolate post-war Finland.

      I got prescribed adderall for an adult ADHD diagnosis last year. I basically live on caffeine, probably self medicating, and I typically don't eat breakfast because eating in the couple hours after I wake up destroys my stomach. So, the first day I took the adderall, I took it on a basically empty stomach save for like 2 big mugs worth of coffee. I'm standing in line at a gas station with 3 energy drinks in hand when it started to hit me. Just all of the sudden I needed to be doing something like RIGHT NOW. Get to work, where I work mostly on a dock as a deckhand mooring barges, and I feel like I just have limitless energy. I'm just effortlessly swinging around long 3 inch ropes and steel cables and gliding on and over barge covers. It eventually hit me though that I was stressing my body, was running out of breathe, and was tiring pretty bad, but still felt the urge to keep going and not slow down. I had to consciously think to calm down and go slow or else I would probably have collapsed from pushing myself too hard.
      Never got any sort of high off of it again after that first dose, but just that one time was kind of crazy. It was a relatively tiny dose when compared to what people take when they do meth as a recreational drug. Very mild, almost imperceptible euphoria and clear headed as ever, but just an urge to DO IT ALL RIGHT NOW and being physically able to keep pushing passed the point I normally would have been able to. While I do not at all want the high, I can understand why some people would. I can also imagine how effective it would be in a war setting, and how fucking terrifying it would be to be up against a force of any size zonked out of their minds on meth.

    I'm gonna be honest. During my youth, I was a hardcore meth addict. Like total-tweaker-overload. I used to go on days-long binges. Eat nothing, sleep never, and hallucinate always. Thinking back about it, it was a living hell. And it left me with suicidal depression, anxiety, psychosis and schizophrenia. All of which are permanent in my case.
