Hitler was High During Most of World War II Says Norman Ohler (HBO)

- There are many things considered to be common knowledge about Hitler. He was vegetarian, partial to the toothbrush mustache, a failed fine artist and a Nazi despot responsible for the reprehensible, systematic murder of six million Jews. What has only recently surfaced is the assertion that Hitler was also high off his face for the entirety of World War II. As was most of the third reich. That’s according to Blitzed by Norman Ohler, the international bestseller that’s been translated into 26 languages

White, vegetarian, kicked out of art school, and on drugs - Is Hitler from Portland?
I’m from Portland and I love this
portland resigned
he sounds more like someone that would go on equal rights for women guy (liberal). guess even the worst guys could have been something else in other times :/
Legendary.
He was actually never kicked out. He tried to enter 3 times, but he was not accepted. He went on to become an architect later, and was pretty successful in that regard. He and Albert Speer started planning a new city, "Germania" which would have taken the place of Berlin after they had invaded most of Europe. But they attacked Russia and the rest is history xD
“Bro, if Hitler tried DMT he would have chilled”
- Joe Rogan
They should have hired an assassin to switch out all the meth with weed. Would have ended the war.
Think I half heard Mike Tyson say that too
He probably would have developed drug-induced schziophrenia. He probably developed it later anyway from stimulant abuse.
He offered a peace treaty to Winston Churchill, but Churchill declined it
Shrooms' would have made him into pussycat.
Most German thing I’ve ever heard, “in Germany we keep records of everything”
If it's true for everything than that's awesome
@@Alexander..69 yes, now papers please
I thought the funnier part was him saying that he got into the topic because he was a Berliner who came of age in the 90s, is a novelist and was therefore quite naturally able to look into the topic of drugs. Combining that with the record keeping remark is an indication of great German wit.
I hope they keep records of their crimes against humanity
@@g.traurus9052 if you actually kept yourself informed on other countries you would know that Germany is very aware of their own atrocities and do alot to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself again
Does Vice have a strict "only hire hipsters" policy?

Absolutely credible! A man who denied himself alcohol, was a drug user. Ideology.
Alcohol is still prob the worst choice. It's a neurotoxin to begin with.
1936 olympics
he’s more of a stim guy
That wss 1936 boy
A lot of stoners won’t touch alcohol
Vice continues to hire the worst 'journalists' and interviewers ever.
Why so?
I think they are great personally, seem like real people instead of robots
I don’t get what you mean. I know they can seem kind off naive when interviewing people in other countries but they get the job done just fine. They risk there lives to go out in the middle of conflict zones so that already earns my respect.
A bunch of dildos and pink vagina hats ..
The way she structures the "questions" is awful
humanize nazis? I wasn't aware nazis were aliens
No. They just communicated with aliens.
More Life no they just sucked frog dicks
@@SamDoots you mean toads ? toad secretions are also used as a hallucinogen.
More Life *R* *I* *B* *B* *I* *T*
Neither Nazis weren't aliens nor were they ppl, they were what Cryptozooligist dub the "German"
"Does it humanize the nazis" they were human, spreading information that they were anything less is a disservice to the world. We must know what our fellow man is capable of.
Well said. They were no more or less human than any of us.
Nazis arent humans
so he was vegetarian and always high af and born on 420 it's sounds like the bigest stoner for me
Lol what bruh
He was on meth not marijuana. In fact he thought marijuana was degenerate and would probably send you to prison (if you were aryan) or kill you
nah he was on adderal
Such a Vice comment lol.
@@the_local_bigamist LMFAO
To be honest, it makes since when you think about it. The man was in charge of a nation that was at war with almost the entire world. All that stress must’ve completely screwed him up. He probably did drugs to relieve the stress.
And vice versa! He had PTSD from childhood and world war 1, so all his stress was played out through a nation
Meth won’t relieve stress 😂
@@infinitejest441 he used meth to keep himself awake for long periods of time, not to calm himself down
sense
His health was also declining so it kept him somewhat functional. The drug use would've made his personality traits worsen overtime, paranoia, insecurity, fits of rage and hyper mania.
I've read he was vegetarian in public but ate meat in private. He maintained the lie because he wanted the German people to eat healthier.
Me:Where do I know this guy from?
Also Me: Got it, The fish from American Dad...
This is fucking old news.
Not to me.
Tvvugt not to me fucking skinhead piece of shit
The Stoned Videogame Nerd vitamultin was a medicine he used regularly that contained extract of German soldiers poop to help his digestive tract. sounds gross but it worked
Yeah, I read about this years ago
+John Ieschenkoo
Nice propaganda there, probably the same source as "hitler had one ball" and "hitler is still alive".
I work as historian and am from switzerland. I read Ohlers book. It does contain some facts but sadly often drifts into "rumors" and "assumptions". Of course if Ohler had read the actual documents and private letters between Hitler's doctor and pharmacist, he would be aware that Hitler was not high during most of WW2. In fact, he started to "be high" in December 1943 because before that he did not take anything that would get you high. Of course academic books, original documents and other historical facts don't make as much money or grab the attention of the USA, so ignoring sources and drifting into assumptions and rumors is of course more profitable for Ohler. As i see, it's already a hit in the USA in the form of the book called "Blitzed".
I also like how he talks about Waffen SS troops and Luftwaffe pilots being "high on methamphetamines" which is incorrect considering that the amount a Pervitin tablet had of Methamphetamine they were not any more "high" than american paratroopers like the 101st Airborne or the Airforce Pilots who were prescribed to take regular Amphetamine in about the same amount that would equalize with the Methamphetamine usage of axis soldiers.
Books on "high american heroes" of course wouldn't sell well because it would shatter the myth of "the axis were super high you guys while the allies were clean and alert purely by nature".
Among historians Ohlert and other "pop historians" aren't considered anymore reliable than "the tabloid version of history books" for a reason.
>Implying humanizing the nazis is bad
I mean they weren't deer. They were people too. Sometimes you gotta be uncomfortable with the fact people aren't angels.
Dehumanization is the primitive way of coping with the fact that humans are capable of anything they put their minds to
They were demons possessed by the spirit of Wotan.
@@wantanamera maybe Himmler
@@wantanamera Lmao
@@MI-do6hv No, it's to justify your own evil.
This is common knowledge for WW2 historians. Saw a special on this on the military channel years ago.
What maybe some dont know however, is that this doctor was a jewish man!
@@atmosrepair Source? Not denying it but interesting AF if true.
Why so many dislikes on this video? It's fascinating and has been well researched as a historical fact. It brings an entirely new dimension to the study of WWII.
Think the girl interviewing annoyed some people
Older historians have known this forever. These two want to make out like this is a scoop.
Also I thought it was kinda funny her saying “doesn’t that explanation humanize the Germans of ww2?”
They are human…. The drug explanation makes a lot of the ideologies and his moves make sense. He was crazy high.
The coments make no sense
???
@nedaxel you mean 12 year old trolls lol
they never really do. The comment section is where people shit and piss their anger after a long workday
This is so not true
César Ventura - Kilroy FN iii dont get it eeiither.

Awesome book...

nope
Because Germany was wreaking havoc across Europe
Wow amazing job vice! It only took you a few decades to realize this. Old news, thanks for the update!!!
how could he not be on drugs... you need them to numb the guilt, if there ever was any feeling of it.
Fantastic work
Explains how one country could fight the world people still underestimate the power of drugs
I've just started reading this book. The story about Hitler's personal doctor is nothing new.
Other than that, the book is pretty interesting so far.
sober hitler: oh shit what did i do when i was high?
“Are we humanizing the naZis?” Aye bro they weren’t fucking aliens
I wonder whether the drugs further shut down his brain's capacity for empathy and compassion, made him more ruthless and high strung, perhaps led him further off the deep end. Had he not taken drugs it may have been easier to defeat him.
That's an interesting question. IME, certain drugs do affect your ability to feel empathy and certainly help you disregard the potential consequences of any actions, with alcohol being the number one offender. Amphetamines also give people inflated confidence. And opiates help people deal with trauma, and also cope with stressors (or at least make people think that they are coping, even though they really aren't if they are an addict). This would deffo make a great dissertation.
Says the people who are high at work
No shit he had to authorize everything 24/7 he did sleep but barely
Can someone tell me how they call this specific art style this specific one
Is that the song by MIMS "This is why im hot" playing in the background?
this has been known for quite sometime.
well when you have to command an army to fight literally the whole war, you need to find some way to lower the stress
He used it to stay awake and alert (meth) not to de-stress
is there a full video/story i can find or watch somewhere?
Very Interesting. Thx
Next you're going to tell me Joseph Stalin was on hallucinogenics
Stalin was pure, he wasn't on anything.

Pat B. Yeah Yesterday (a UK TV channel for nerds interested in war - I don't watch it normally) did a documentary on this ages ago
Pat B. right? wwII WAS forever ago can't believe anyone still talks about it. Idiot.
Yeah, way back on June 6th.
p b that's the joke.
True. I read about this in the seventies. He was a total junky and tweaker. Meth, smack, and opioids and etc.
How do I find more imagery like this?!
As did Churchill, as did Freud
You just said failed artist, I dunno if it's an insult but imagine if he's a successful artist.
Judea declares war on Germany
yep
people are waking up, nothing wrong with that
uh oh, somebody posted something I don't like online so I better sift through all of their history, so I can make an incorrect statement about their life based off of some videos they liked!

Not to mention a war monger
@@benkosch9522 sure....
0:50. I missed the funny part. Anyone catch the humor in what he said?
Yeah was wondering wtf she was laughing about?
She was on drugs
Yeah please anyone explain?
Because he said “partly socialized” it’s funny because Berlin was under control by the communist and they were very socialist, so when he said partly it was funny because they tried to make him a full on communist not slightly socialist.
@@lol-qr1ew no no no its because he is indicating he has done recreational drugs
All in all I think we should be thankful to this doctor Morell.
I'm not sure Hitler fired Morrel, I though he allowed him to leave the bunker after a certain point.
ya me too... literally before he faked his death shot and burned eva and traded his top ranking scientists for free passage to south america or africa
I thought this was common knowledge
This is extremely old and well documented.
Can I please get the background music for this.
2:00 - Eukodal is oxycodone. IV Heroin is 2x stronger than IV morphine, or 6x stronger than oral morphine. IV oxycodone is between 1.5 - 2x stronger than oral morphine, and just as potent as IV morphine (it’s complex equation of factoring in bioavailability and morphine milligram equivalent doses).
So ultimately, IV heroin (diamorphine) is 2x more potent than IV oxycodone. That’s why we generally have heroin as illicit (except some European countries like England or Switzerland).
There have been a lot questioning about blitzed legitimacy on certain topics and many scholars have refuted it's accuracy.

Makes sense that he needed to be sedated to forget the devilish acts he did.
Why am i watching vice when im looking for accurate information?
Yeah especially when you got truth channels like fox, alex jones etc
There is no truth, only what you choose to believe.
Just check the author sources
+Max Gustafsson Because when you don't like the information you call it inaccurate.
It's pretty well known that Hitler used a lot of drugs.
talkhtw55 Just because something is "well known" doesn't mean it's true. For instance, the five-second rule, bats are completely blind, etc. These are all well-known examples of things we're told, but they're actually not 100% true.
I knew this before you did and I feel better because of that
Eukodal is nowadays knowns as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone . "In 2016, it was the 54th most prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 14 million prescriptions."
Winston Churchill was a genuine alcohoolic. Anything about that?
Spiritus Sanctus Lynx nope because he won
Nice citations. Thanks for another strong, well-informed video, proven with solid evidence.

So what? Winston Churchill was drunk through out the whole war.
not the point of da vid
That explains a lot.
Baseless claim disputed and proven incorrect many times.
Mind sharing? When was this disputed?
a lot of things from him are wild guess with no proof or analysis. just saying, because a "news" channel should knew this, and point it out.
Bärserker I read the book, it is sourced incredibly well, check your facts.
baerserker: your name gives you away you freaking neo-nazi. This is, in fact, old news. As he said, the Germans kept records of everything, and there have been articles since the seventies about Hitler being basically a trash can drug abuser and raging speed freak, which is why he was no paranoid and irrational and made mistakes that cost him a war he did not need to fight..
It was already very well known before this book anyway.
1- Not a Fail Artist, the traditional art was not what the jewish wanted, that's what he painted so yeah...
2- He was not on drugs.

Sounds like Allies propaganda to me
ye, they 'misread' AH doctors notes, and Desoxyn/Ritalin/Adderall in tablet form for the soldiers on 'air and ground raids' apparently gave them madcow disease....
It was.. The only balance sources we can watch were in AltCensored..
Wait the video says he started in 1943 but the war ended in 1945 and started in 1939 so he only took it for 2 years not most of the war
such a fantastic book
As high as soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypy, Syria etc.. etc..?
Where is the proof buddy?
Many pissed of nazis in the comments
Emperor Botz what was bad about this video tho?
