*Read before you comment; "it wasn't just the Germans"* This video treats the use of methamphetamine by the German Wehrmacht and its cultural background. The purpose of this video is not to attribute any atrocities that the Nazis perpetrated to that they were simply on drugs - we know that this was not a contributing factor to what they did, although it perhaps influenced _how_ they did it. It is also not the purpose of this video to single out Germany as the only belligerent to use drugs in WW2. As we point out in the video, many belligerents (to not say all) used drugs, especially amphetamines during WW2. In fact amphetamines are still in official, monitored used by for instance the US Army in some situations to this day. However, the Wehrmacht and a few of the Axis allies used _methamphetamine_ which is different than amphetamine as the effects of meth is unpredictable and comes on faster and harder. These unpredictable effects include hallucinations and delusions, which amphetamines do not induce, or at least to a lesser and more predictable degree. Methamphetamine metabolizes into amphetamine in the body, but in that process it creates a number of side effects that contribute to its unstable effects. Of course this was poorly understood in 1940 and meth was also available commercially over the counter in many places like the US and Australia, mostly as a dieting pill and (somewhat ironically) an anti-depressant. While amphetamines like Benzedrine are still administered by doctors for certain conditions, methamphetamine is now known to be a very dangerous, potentially lethal, drug that only has recreational use, and in 2019 it is therefore illegal almost everywhere in the world. Last but not least, the Wehrmacht was singular in how liberal they were in distributing drugs to the troops, at least to begin with. It is important to also point out that beside the official use of drugs, many soldiers throughout the ages have resorted to intoxicating themselves to deal with the unfathomable horrors of war, and in this respect WW2 was no different. We will cover drug use by other belligerents and in general during the war in future videos.
*And friends, lets remember the rules, shall we:*
STAY CIVIL AND POLITE we will delete any comments with personal insults, or attacks.
AVOID PARTISAN POLITICS AS FAR AS YOU CAN we reserve the right to cut off vitriolic debates.
HATE SPEECH IN ANY DIRECTION will lead to a ban.
RACISM, XENOPHOBIA, OR SLAMMING OF MINORITIES will lead to an immediate ban.
PARTISAN REVISIONISM, ESPECIALLY HOLOCAUST AND HOLODOMOR DENIAL will lead to an immediate ban.
that must be good
I had a question. Did the extensive use of drugs by the nazis during ww2 impact future policy making in the US regarding the regulation of drugs such as cocaine, meth, marijuana etc?
@@klevishida740
That's a really good question! I would like to know that too.
This all had no effect on drug policy outside Germany. The rest of the world was faster in regulating for instance cocaine and heroin already in. the 1920s, and Germany was faster (due to this) in delegalizing meth. It took until the sixties for most other nations to follow suite.
I LOVE you guys!
I think that Indy researching the drugs first hand really shows his determination to this channel.
Dedicated to the history.
Indy, we're gonna need a special episode about your party days in Prague.

Pervitin is methylphenidate not methamphetamine this guy talks crap they use it today in ritalin and concerta for ADHD it's a stimulent nothing to do with Crystal meth! This guy is a grade one idiot who failed chemistry class!
Finnish soldiers used this too, I've heard stories that they been skiing for 4-5 days nonstop etc. Thats a scary drug!
The First overdose in Military combat happened to a Finnish Soldier
I also knew two Finnish soldiers who claimed the drug saved their life most likely. Both what is called "kaukopartio" in Finnish, Google translates that to "remote patrol". Guys who would operate on the "wrong" side of the frontier spying and blowing up stuff. When found out they where chased and in such cases the pill gave them "wings".
They very much resented the idea that it was wrong or immoral or something

Such is the opinion of most civilians.. Soldiers.. at least modern soldiers in the US and other NATO nations (1939- not so much) are some of the most educated and cultured people you will ever meet.. but by all means, continue thinking we are financially derelict and socially defunct people from the gutters of America. The DOD encompasses the largest corporation in the US and draws from all demographics, spearheading many of the social programs that eventually makes their way into the private sector.

"Keeps people awake, but does not make them smarter." reflects a cynical but realistic attitude to fighting men.
Pervitin is a pretty incredible side fact of ww2 that most people don't know about. It's one thing conquering western Europe sober but on this shit? I'm imaging tank drivers up to their eyes bursting through the French countryside going completely insane thinking they were creating an empire... The comedown in 1945 mustve been mentally destroying for many.

You guys have analysed WW2 to great depths and it shows . You also produce great productions which really catch your attention. Well done chaps !
While I knew bits of what was discussed in this 2-part special, this really helped me connect the dots. I love learning details like this to help fill in the blanks of what we didn't learn in school.
Will you make a special episode about the origins of Fanta?
Fantasie.
That's my favourite Softdrink
Fantastiche Fanta! Sehr gut! 😀
Also what’s your favourite flavour for Fanta?
Forgotten weapons/inrange did a special on that, it's quite detailed.
I love how this show is able to talk about drug use in the Wehrmacht without either making it sound like its a hidden secret to understanding everything, or without being a counterpoint to that position. It's just trying to cover everything about the war, and this is one of many videos about tools and tactics used in WWII. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Many people, also in this comment section, fail to see how just because it happened, doesn't mean that it explains Germany's victory, their speed, their crimes, the pause before Dunkirk and more. Just like us covering the use of drugs in the war doesn't mean that we attribute any of the above stated aspects to said drug use..
@@WorldWarTwo but it would be one helluva topic in history books "british evacuate dunkirk because germans have heavy drugs withdrawal"
Sounds like Berlin 1920s was rather fun
Ed SR no doubt and free to boot
No.
Only in a decayed post apocolypitic society...
It’s still fun (or fun again)
So Berlin back then would be todays Pattaya, Las Vegas and Prague (due to decriminalized drug consumption) rolled into one?
Finally someone made a full video about this! Thank you so much!!
imagine you're in prague. it's the mid-90s and indy nidell walks into your room up to the eyeballs on meth.

Offer him a cup of tea, and have a chat.
Whisper in his ear: "This is modern war. Pass it on."

Ask him to not steal my grandfather's glasses.
Give up.
Pervitin was also still used by both german armies after WW2. Both the DDR and BRD had Pervitin in storage for "emergencies" until the seventies
It wasn't just used by the military. The 1953 expedition to climb Nanga Parbat
(8125m) in the Himalayas used Pervitin. They didn't even make it a secret. Their own documentary film shows the expedition leader asking one of his climbers whether he packed the Pervitin before sending him to climb the summit.
This is the kind of history, school never teaches you. Thanks for having great insight into such a dark topic
Thanks for the quick version of the OPB special "World War Speed" released a week or so before this video with extended info.

Sounds like a movie: Nazis on Crystal Meth - PART II - The Reich strikes back
Story from later point of war about Pervitin and its overdose effects:
Corporal Aimo Koivunen of the Finnish Defence Forces was on patrol during March 1944 with his team. He was on his mission's third day, on -20 to -30 degrees Celsius climate of Lappland.
His team was attacked by the Soviets. Although they managed to escape, Soviets pursued them. They were exhausted, but then Koivunen remembered that he had the patrol's entire supply of Pervitin (30 tablets). Due to skiing speed and gloves, he got frustrated with the pill container, dumped all on his hand and swallowed them all. Normal procedure was *ONE* pill under dire circumstances.
He sped off, but eventually started hallucinating and got separated from the team. The team couldn't control him nor could they really shout after him, as they were possibly near their enemies.
A week later, he was admitted into a Finnish hospital. After a week, his resting heart rate was 200 BPM (normally around 60 BPM). He had traveled 400 or so kilometers on skis, surviving only on pines and a single bird he had managed to kill. He only weighted 43 kilograms.
Oh, he also had managed to step on a mine. And he kept on skiing afterwards.
Wow.

Good info, keep posting !
This channel deserves a lot more subs/views. It’s well made, a great source for history, and is entertaining.
Thank you!
Don't let that distract you from the fact that in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them...
maybe , you can hire The A-Team!

@@WorldWarTwo Looking good for 51. Perhaps the pervitin helped slow time.
Had a good laugh when you talked about the soldiers freaking out over nothing and using all their ammo :D
It's not an uncommon side effect of meth heads. I knew of a guy right here in my hometown who cooked and used meth and went nuts one night thinking the trees in his yard were giants about to attack him. He ended up cutting 80-100ft. pine trees down on his house with a chainsaw thinking he was "cutting off the giant's feet". When I hear stories like that it makes me wonder what could possibly be going through someone's mind to want to try meth knowing what the side effects are.
It’s funny how they all saw the same thing... I’m surprised they didn’t start shooting at each other thinking they were the enemy...
I'm currently off of the drug but I did crystal meth every day for eight years and I've never seen people fucked up like what I'm reading here. For the most part we were all just normal, maybe made us feel like going picking but that's how most of us made a living anyway.
@John Doe I get that. The problem with meth is the not sleeping or the people who just don't stop doing it and don't catch some rest. I'm proof that the drug doesn't make you crazy cause I did a shit tonne of it, I just made sure I slept.

Don’t forget they also made methadone during WW2 due to the shortage of morphine
Andrew Higdon and DEMEROL 👍
And the shortage of morphine was due to the fact that they had broken the treaty of Versailles and the world's main morphine suppliers put sanctions on Germany causing Hitler to have his scientists to come up with another pain agent for on and off the battlefield.
Garrett Messer your absolutely right, very interesting to learn about how the worlds medicine was produced and why, another interesting fact about it all was that the US auctioned off the rights to market these drugs after the war, in typical capitalist fashion 😏 “spoils of war”....
