The Terrifying Soldier Rampaging on 30 Tablets of Meth

- Aimo Koivunen and a small group of Finnish ski troops set camp in a snow-covered forested area for a brief rest after a long night patrol.
Before they could settle, the white calmness of the Finnish countryside was suddenly shattered by the sound of Soviet gunfire. The Finnish troopers jumped to their feet and hastily packed as an entire Soviet platoon began to enclose them.
In a desperate dash across the woods, Koivunen led his countrymen away from the Soviet forces, but the enemies went after them and an ardent pursuit across the frozen wasteland ensued. Koivunen and his comrades knew the region well, but crippling exhaustion soon took hold of them. Now, with the Soviets at his heels, the young trooper was about to collapse.
That’s when he remembered he was holding Pervitin, a German drug that allowed soldiers to stay alert for days at a time.
As he skied downhill, he tried to pour a pill into his mitten-covered hand, but the entire lot fell at once and Koivunen swallowed the whole batch of 30 methamphetamines.
Koivunen was then able to lead the way as his men continued their excruciating escape attempt. But suddenly, the trees and his comrades began to shift into strange shapes as he abruptly drifted in and out of consciousness.
One of World War 2’s strangest meth-fueled misadventures was about to begin…

When I was in Iraq as a non-combatant (advisor), I personally witnessed a Iraqi who was attached to our SR unit ingest a unadvisable amount of morphine right before a firefight ensued. I don't know if he sensed what was coming, but the man was fearless and ran toward the blistering fire from a HWP in cover 2-300 meters (not far), while screaming in a barbaric manner, threw three grenades and fired his weapon surprisingly accurate. We were ALL dumbfounded what happened next. The incoming fire ceased and the 'Iraqi Viking' disappeared over the bank in pursuit of our would be ambushers. Unbeknownst to him, there was over 20+ 'fighters' along the bank he was approaching and we only found this out when we returned to our FOB (drone/EMCON). He returned to our position, but did so at a slow pace with a HUGE smile on his face. The militants retreated and our egos were bruised.
This Iraqi saved lives, but I do not condone the use of drugs, especially in combat. With that said, they're sometimes useful and the USA (other allies incl.) has a history of utilizing controlled substances for their potent properties to not only calm soldiers, but to increase aggressiveness and keep soldiers in the fight for a vastly extended duration. These narcotics were employed during WWII for the Normandy landings (e.g. amphetamine and methamphetamine) and throughout the multiple campaigns of the war.
Also, if anyone would like to know what happened to the Iraqi Viking, here is something short and sweet. After this occurred, we got him in as a translator, even though he knew very little English and was no help when it came to translating ANYTHING, but was clearly trustworthy! We fought to get his family and himself out of that sh** hole and to the USA. He now lives in Arizona and I visit him regularly. He no longer uses drugs and we remain close friends to this day.
It's great to hear you got him out. Kudos.
How is it possible to do this on morphine? my buddy snapped his leg on a patrol when i was a soldier and he was given his morphine injector we all carried and he was an incoherent blubbering laughing mess incapable of preforming anything because morphine is a cns depressant that blocks pain and slows down the body.
Thanks for sharing.
Probably just enough not to feel pain
@@karlunknown4657 people who use opiates habitually get a large tolerance. Some people are prescribed 80mg oxycodone 3x a day because they become imminent it over time. A normal person would feel the same effects from a 10mg dose.
Truly this guy was the first across the Finnish line !!!
ill get your coat.
Badoom pssssshh
🙄good one
😂😂😂
lol clever..
Holy F. I did meth a couple times. The second time, I did too much and ended up holed up in my living room with extreme paranoia for a day and a half. It was alright for about 3-4 hours but after that, I just wanted it to stop so I could sleep. I laid in my recliner for 24 hours, tossing and turning and not able to sleep at all. When it finally stopped, I slept for 20 hours straight. F that.
Never again right?
yeah, fuck atShit.. once you Take IT.. you’re in for a long Ride.. They’ll be NoSleeping for a day or two!
Why would you do it again 😂😂😂
the demon behind meth goes much much further than what you experienced.. i did it for a few years and graduated into shooting it up.. of course my story wouldnt be all that interesting if i wasnt shooting brown every few hours everyday for a couple years at the same time.. i didnt care much for shooting shards tho.. that experience is beyond what a human should feel.. nasty nasty nasty stuff..
but i 100% can relate to what you went through.. ive been through that exact situation multiple times.. paranoia ... anxiety.. fear.. tweaking out.. dyin..
I'm quite sure after eating 30 meth tabs, "a reinvigorating blast" is a very mild way of describing what that man felt. "Taking off like a fucking rocket and soaring somewhere past Venus" would probably be closer to the truth.
Yeah the first day I was taking a prescribed dose of Adderall, my coworker said I was wound up tighter than a 5 day watch. Stuff is no joke. I had to cut the dose in half. Makes me wonder how many people get hooked on this stuff because of the doctor giving them too much!
No it would be a better description not closer to the truth…

your defo right, but it takes more than a few minutes for speed to kick in, more like an hour plus

Holy fuck, imagine tweaking for 2 weeks strait while being chased thru the winter forest by angry Russians.

Yea meth makes you paranoid as hell lmao
@@vinceuscher2700 Well that wouldn't help...
I can say this has happened to me stayed up for about that amount of time with no sleep and started seeing things like police/d.e.a/military what have you, and all because sniffing and smoking crystal. To this day after that time in my life no damn way will I touch that junk ever again. But surprises me that the Nazi's weren't smart enough to realize this drug is nothing good. When people don't eat and don't sleep you would think hey theres something wrong here.
I am part Finnish and Polish and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. What a brave soldier this Finnish man was! Excellent video. Glad he went on to live to his 70s! God was with him in this extensively precarious situation!
I’m always amazed at how someone took the time to film these events.
Yeah this is why I think the Russian war is fake we have cctv drones etc n hardly any decent footage most of it looks spoofed. Yet years ago they have so much we got bloody body cam for god sake ha
That's what impresses me the most also, I think about it a lot
Yeah thats the thing. Any random person can just recycle the old WW2 footage, cut and edit, and present it as a completely new story. Never before told. Most of it just made up.
The image a speed fueled Finnish skiing roadrunner zipping past Russian coyotes is now stuck in my mind. Awesome!
after reading your comment its now in my head

I think it is absolutely cool, that he accidentally started a fire that destroy the enemy camp while high on drugs. It's straight out of a comedy.
He also accidentally skied thru Soviet camp, he noticed it too late and didnt have a choice but to gather more speed and run thru. He said the Soviet soldiers faces were something to see, they were totally surprised and dismayed. As you would be, when lone drugged up enemy swishes by, yelling something..

At one point he skied through an entire camp. They were shocked when they realized what was going on because the way he was carrying himself was as if he was supposed to be there. Sometimes hidden in plain sight is the best camouflage.
Ive always heard if you want to sneak into a place, just act like you belong there and always have been there, and no one will ask you any questions.

My father was once a Lancaster bomb aimer assigned to 467 SQN RAAF.
In his memoirs he mentioned Benzadrine as a ‘ wakey wakey’ tablet, which the crew would take after a bombing raid over Germany/France on their way back to Waddington UK.
I suppose what they were taking was meth, as he watched his kids like a hawk as we grew up in the 1970’s.
He would tolerate us smoking grass, but nothing harder than that…
God bless you Dad xxx
benzedrine is Valium.. i sleep very hard on those lo
@@datadavis I believe they are 2 very different drugs.. Benzaprine is a stimulant and valium or diazepam is a depressant.. They work very differently in the body. A disabled US Army Veteran and pharmacy specialist 😃
@@datadavis nah. You might be thinking of something else but benzadrine is definitely a stay awake drug. It's not nearly as intense as methamphetamine. Which, I mean there are all sorts of horror stories about soldiers hurting themselves on pervatin.

Benzedrine, along with many other stimulants, was extensively used by soldiers from all of the nations involved in the war, and it was especially popular with pilots.

He was a real life Super Soldier.
Survived the enemy,Pervitin overdose with an extreme heart rate,land mine injuries,freezing environment,hunger and human need for water.
And also Skiyng a long way to friendly lines.
Incredible...
Ya left out surviving the forest fire that somehow managed to start in the snowy winter after the mine exploded. .

The meth master. I don't condone it nor like it exists but that is fantastic. My sister died at 37 as a direct result of her loving it. It's nice to see a life saved by it in a weird way.
Yep it is a very insidious type of stimulant. Very very potent one. My curiosity and desire of handling my own issues lead me to use it a bit too often back in the days. Personally i think it's nice to see that you are still able to appreciate this almost unbelievable story despite the fact that you lost your sister due to her Meth addiction.
It's because of what she had to do to the religious meth bikers that really tore her soul though. Sorry 😞
Moderation works
Its no Secret that Elvis Presley used Meth to stay awake on Guard in the US. Army during his service, in Germany, His addiction as we know,,,,,,was his demise........😔
I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my own sister two weeks ago (to cancer). I am so sorry dear one. God bless you.
You’re on a roll man! So much great historical content. Please keep the ww2 content coming!
Amazing story. He was lucky not to have died of overdose, it must have been the freezing cold that saved him from OD, i think.
As a finnish person I commend you on your pronounciation of our sometimes (to foreigners) incomprehensible names. And I've heard this story many times, it is always interesting regardless of how it's told or by whom. I even remember my dad mentioning it back in the days before the internet, he was in the war 1943-45.
Does Finland have Fjords or is that Norway and Sweden?
Edit: it's a vuono and you have only 1 according to the internet
Wouldn’t it have been easier to just take one of his gloves off, and take the appropriate number of pills?
@@bidmcms3 You should build a time machine and go back to stop him committing his silly mistake.

I've always like the story of Laurie Tornie? In America his name was Larry Thorne I'm pretty sure. Fought in 3 wars for 3 separate sides.....man just really hated Russia lol
The more I am told about Fin's the more I believe they may be the toughest people on the planet.
Legend and true
What you are seeing is a reasonable people who are pushed beyond their limits. When good men see war as the easy solution, violence becomes a craft to perfect.
PERKELE
True? They my be tough but not the toughest. You have cultures that hunt fucking lions without guns… Nordic folk are hella tough too but I wouldn’t say THE toughest unless you’re being biased.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 No I am not biased, but there have been cultures that hunted bears without guns as well, do you put them on the same level with those hunting lions?
Frankly I have read many stories of the Fin's just doing and surviving things that most normal humans would not survive. If you think someone else is tougher, good on ya. This is my opinion and in no way does have to be yours.

You may have been "high AF," but you'll never be as high as Koivanen after eating 30 doses of high-powered meth, skiing over 300 miles without food or water after taking a hit from a landmine.
and eating an F'ing bird raw. hard core, hard core
And this was clean lab made meth lol
You never went to raves in the uk in the late 80s did ya🤫
His name was Koivunen.
Yeah this definitely takes me back to some nights out in the early 90’s. 200 bpm for a fortnight straight is a canny session though 🚀 Imagine the comedown 😮

This was very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!!
My dad was in WWII Europe. They went in many towns where the Nazis had been prior. He always told me stories of the women coming up to the soldiers and begging for chocolate. It was only years later I read that the Nazi soldiers had meth supplements that were made into some kind of chocolate bar. So, it wasn't the chocolate the women begged for but the meth.
Good ol' Panzerschokolade.

Was looking forward to your version of this crazy incidentally! Just incredible, well done!
fantastic story! thank you!
Very good as always. Appreciate the entertainment.
Thank you
I enjoyed hearing this story again.
I have had Finnish friends since grade school and admire the Finn's greatly.
Thanks again.
His survival was attributed to the cold temperatures. If the chase took place during the summer he would have surely died I believe that the cold temperatures kept his heart from speeding up in light of the over dose.
haha you never smoked meth

That is very true
Absolutely. I knew dude who did meth while roofing houses. Heat stroke is a real dangerous thing.
This guy has the best voice for documentaries!
Great vid. Good to learn of such opportune use of crank, lifesaver for once.
And at 70 his heart was still doing 120

30 to 39 million tablets of Pervitin were issued to the German Wehrmacht. This drug was also developed here in Germany. My son had this topic for his history presentation. The history teacher considered this episode in the German Wehrmacht to be impossible, even called it an untruth and gave my son a very bad grade. Even interventions with evidence were unsuccessful.
What a lousy history teacher!

It's over whelming how that all worked out for him. Up for two weeks no food, no ammo, survive a land mine, starting a forest fire , crawling to avoid the enemy. Minus the land mine, sounds like a normal 14 days if you live in porterville ca.

You are taught in the West and Japan/Korea that “speed kills”….it is simply a lie. Most do not ever die from speed, more ie from respiratory depression from opioids and whatever else can be whacked into an “opioid” that kills. All of those speed kills ad council commercials were BULLSHIT.

Welp....this story definitely wins. Prior to this, the weirdest meth story I had ever heard was a co-worker getting several teeth knocked out when he tried to use a laundry basket to catch a deer in his front yard and it kicked him in the face.

I made many a household item out of Duct Tape when I was a meth addict.
This guy took something to the order of 90 mg of methamphetamine! The lethal dose is considered to be 200 mg. During my long career in EMS, I have seen first hand what happens when someone takes 800 - 1200 mg (I only received a secondhand account of the postmortem toxicology report), I don't think that guy was aware of anything other than anxiety, terror, and an urge to run in his last seconds. Not a good time, for sure.
Whats some cool stories from ur times as a medic? What was some of the wildest shii u saw?
At 30 pills, he took 450 mg. There was 15 mg in each pill.
Later versions of pill had 3 mg of meth, which would have been 90mg, and they also had 5 mg of oxycodone, and 5mg of cocaine. These were never mass produced or distributed before the war ended. The ones that were distributed had 15mg of meth, and nothing else. The later version of the pill wasn't developed until 1944. Finland and Russia signed their peace treaty in 1940. This event obviously happened before 1940.
@@davealmighty9638 Thank you for the clarification and YIKES! Meth is not a pretty drug and I am amazed this guy survived the dosage, much less the rest of his ordeal. To be honest, I was somewhat relieved when heroin and fentanyl became more popular than amphetamines in the region I work... Much easier to treat and better outcomes if they don't die outright.
It happend after 1940 and peace treaty was singed in 1944
40s treaty was to end "winter war" and this conflickt was afer that in 42 or 43
It’s unlikely he could cram down 0.5g of meth and survive.
It’s 7:23 and I haven’t gone to bed yet. This video is perfect. 😅
If they'd let him keep his weapon, I can only imagine he would have become a Berserker and that this tale would have ended much different.
They should have at least given him a chainsaw
This would make a good movie
better than Cocaine Bear

I think it was Larry Lawton's vlog that told the story about a cell mate who when he was on the outside, spent 6 months stoned out of his head because the rubber bag of LSD burst in his belly. He said you can't OD on the stuff but he gave his home and everything he owned away for a skateboard and a ticket to the Grateful Dead concert.
You're making things up again arnold.
That was a perfect opportunity to use a "Fear and Loathing in Finland" intro screen missed.. 🤣
Tried that kind of drug once, the come down is absolutely awful. Couldn't imagine this dude taking that much. He must have had hallucinations for days after
U have to be mindful and supplement and eat while ur on it, the come down isn't that bad then
It's an old tradition for Germanic/Nordic warriors. One of the things the Viking Norse did was make an ointment out of hen's bane that they smeared on their chests. It made them feel like they were flying and invincible. 1-on-1, either one man or two men died. If one survived, it'd be the one on hen's bane, because he wouldn't have sense to stop if injured. So they could be killed, but you'd die if you tried to kill them. They weren't very effective against a disciplined shield wall, but if they got in behind the wall, it was a slaughter.
I wish people could keep a legal supply of meth on hand for just emergencies. You CAN temporarily extend your endurance with them, albeit at a pretty high cost to your body. Stuck in the desert and have to hoof it 40 or 50 miles to civilization? Amphetamines could save your life. Being stalked by a grizzly? It's good to be able to stay awake all night for that one night. Heh. Unlikely scenario, but a useful emergency tool, if you had the self control to have it without using it, without committing a felony.
One part that was missed was he found a cabin. He started a fire on the middle of the floor.... zoned out a bit, realized he set the whole place on fire and got the eff out before it burned down.
Lots of missing things here

This is the definition of a true one-of-a-kind story
what a interesting story loved it.
That must've been AWFUL!
Meth(amphetamine) was used by the German Wehrmacht in different forms (panzerschokolade = tankchoclate, pervitin etc.).
They knew about the "sideeffects" of using it, so they had strict regulations when and how to use it.
FE there had to be (should have been?) a period of rest and recreation after using it.....
We have a whole army of soldiers like that here in Vancouver BC 😆

Great video , an absolute monster of a ‘drug story’, easily topping any other being told at a meeting in your local church. Being a former drug addict (11 years sober now) I have a couple of similar stories concerning working insanely long hours as a carpenter. Although I should state such stories did not involve fighting the Soviets, ski’s, snow, gunfire, white jackets and pants or artillery. I did however have a close call with the table saw.

Did you return fire?

@@heatherwagstaff2448 I was cutting a 45 degree bevel along one edge of a 9ft x 3 inch wide piece of 3/4 inch oak. There was no extension table on the saw and being only 3 inches wide my fingers were way to close to the blade. To add even more stupidity into the mix, I could have cut the length into 3 pieces as all 3 pieces only needed to be 2foot 6inches long. Luckily my thumb slipped during cutting the last few inches and the end of the material dropped down, hitting the floor which lifted my fingers up and away from the blade! Table saw stupidly at its finest.
There was no return fire
@@milt6208 Grass and beer? Hardly a real habit. Try shooting meth straight into your veins and get back to me with a real story.
I never knew that the Finns hooked with the Wehrmacht although I takes perfect sense given Stalin’s actions. Patton had it right: “I think we defeated the wrong enemy.”
everyone was with the commies, usa and brits. no other choise
Patton was right about alot of things...
At the end they needed to fight them too and it's called the Lapland War, where Finns had to remove Germans out of their territory because of the peace treaty and it followed a battle in Lapland which Finland won, but Germans burned down most of the citys and villages in Lapland while leaving.(they were empty because people moved from wars way). So in fact Wehrmacht is the last army the Finns had a war against and were forced to be allies for Soviets at the end. Although it was a small conflict compared to the Soviet invasion and it's not remembered as much. The men from the war against soviets were mostly send home already, as men young as 18-20 years were sent to the Lapland conflict. So sometimes it's referred as the "children's war" in Finland. Finland got into a difficult and ugly situation but the wars there would have never started without the Soviet invasion that was brutal. After it they tried to get their taken lands back and survive as a small country, which meant that they needed to accept decisions that weren't so glorious to stay alive as a country.
I liked the morality implied in the end :D

Germany wasn't the only country to use meth. The allies did as well and they called it Benzedrine. Though they didn't use it to the extent Germany did through
You’re forgetting D-IX, which was a mix of cocaine, meth and oxycodone. Eukodal, oxycodone, was regularly distributed to German soldiers as well, at least early on. Eventually IG Farben started producing methadone to help replace the absence of poppy based painkillers.
Must Say, in my younger days I experimented with different variants & mixtures... But Nothing was like the 1st time I got a blast of 40mg Oxyconton mixed with .5 G of powder!!! I went straight up into the air then hit with a thud when my knees buckled out from under me on the way down!!! My buddy looks at me & says you ok!? I sat up & said GD Do It Again!!! 😅😂

When I had cancer, the VA Hospital gave me all manner of oxycontin. Yes, I was "comfortably numb" for about a year...
it is dishonest to state that “methadone” had widely been used during the war as a painkiller and a substitute for morphine under the trade name Dolophin (Dolophine), allegedly derived from Hitler’s first name Adolf. Also, stating that Amidon had been called Adolfin (Adolphine) among soldiers and civilian people is entirely unfounded. In fact, the name Adolphine was created in the US in the early 1970s:
@@hellskitchen10036 at no point do I state that methadone “was widely used”…I also never brought up Dolophine, you did, and yea all of that came later not the 1970s but the 50s with Eli Lilly who acquired the patent to produce methadone as well as Darvocet both originated with IG Farben. So do tell me how I am being “dishonest”…
@@Greenlandshark77 I apologize , I didn't mean you were dishonest, I have seen this claim on many occasions and IG Farben did work on methadone during the war but didn't finish till 1947. sorry for the implication.
"Frantic intoxicated confused and inebriated with adrenaline, Koivunen suddenly skied over a landmine and to make matters worse, the blast started a fierce forest fire that spread into a nearby Soviet encampment. The severely injured and disoriented soldier was now forced to crawl through the snow to escape the growing flames"
this is where the story turned into an episode of the road runner cartoon 🤣
Makes sense, seeing as though forest fires burn intensely, through snow 😂😂😂
‘Blitzkrieg fuelled by Speed’ clever commentary.
Did any of the rest of his platoon thing make it? I may have missed that info wondering how he didn't die from all of that blasting through his system.
Platoon thing?
@@thefrogking481be nice he's probably never had any military service or training, nor apparent whoever taught him. I was giggling as well.
That, and extreme sleep deprivation. My son keeps stopping breathing, so I haven't had much as of late.
Yes they did, they looked for him for weeks. By the end of it he was exhausted and took more grenade hits. They found him in an abandoned German camp. He looked for shelter there. No Germans but they booby trapped it so when he opened a door the blast got em once more. Fins found him but allready had wounded that they needed to get back to base so they left him there for another day before returning for him. He didn't know if it was real or not as he went though alot of hallucinations and fever dreams and had a very hard time telling what was real or not.
When German soldiers who were high on meth charged straight to the Belgian lines with things like MG34, the Belgian defenders said "Hitler has super soldiers"
The MG42 came into service in 1942 so would not have been in service during the Belgian campaign. You might mean the MG34.
@@morgawr9339 yes you're right, sorry it was a mistake, thnx for the correction
No worries. Just glad to know someone is interested in history. British soldiers and airmen used amphetamine sulphate or benzedrine for the same reasons. If you want more in depth videos, The History Chap on CZcams has some very good content on obscure and forgotten battles.
@@morgawr9339 Yes you're right and yeah, I love history, great to meet you too
That is amazing story.
He also wrote an album worth of songs, only to be forgotten once the drug wore off. They were mostly about skiing.
😭😭😭😭😭
Amazing story. In a different world, Koivunen would have probably ended up with permanent superpowers. In this case though, I guess temporary superpowers were good enough.
I'd bet his buddies would've appreciated if he'd shared a little of that speed while trying to keep up with his tweaked ass
Wow, that was amazing
The high heart rate definitely kept his body warm, but the freezing cold temperatures would have constricted his blood vessels, coupled with the heart rate would have shot his blood pressure through the roof. 280/170 he was young at the time, most likely why he didn't stroke out.
Must Say I Bet That Guy Was On 1 Hell Of A Ski 'TRIP'!!!😅😂
