- When Adolf Hitler entered the world stage as a fledgling politician in the 1920s and 30s, the German people were amazed at his energy and dynamic speeches. Some called him “mesmerizing” and “magnetic.” But what was the key to his success? Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. The Forgotten History Channel is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

The closing comment" Just say no to drugs" is spot on -----
This gives the old expression ''that guy is Hitler on drugs'' a whole other meaning
Hitlers decision to invade Russia... in hindsight was a huge strategic error. I read a book called the myth of German villiany by Benton Bradbury and it completely changed my view of both world wars and what really lead to ww1 which was the war of 1872. Quite an interesting book...
Thanks for posting
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL the Franco- Prussian war that ended in January 1871 set up the reunification of the five separate German states. Austria was the only one to not join. This was the beginning of the 2nd Reich which lasted until WWI and was the template for Mein Kampf. That Hitler wrote while in prison and became the blueprint for establishing the 3rd Reich and German domination of Europe and eventually the world.
Good post
While I don't wholly support the Icebreaker theory in that the Soviet Union was getting ready to invade Europe in 1941, they were probably going to finish off Finland first, but I think war was inevitable between the Soviet Union and Germany. If you actually take the time to listen, or at least read a transcript of the covert recording of Hitler and Mannerheim, you absolutely get a feeling that the Soviet Union had been gearing up for war for 20 years.
Hitler's biggest strategic mistake was declaring war on the United States, although he was talked into it by Grand Admiral Erich Raeder who felt the navy was fighting with one hand tied behind his back, of course Raeder was responsible for one disaster after the other so I personally think it's fitting that he should get the credit for the biggest disaster of them all.
There is an interesting counter-factual though, if the Soviet Union had begun its counter-offensive a week earlier, or if the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor a week later, would Hitler have been so bold to declare open war on the United States? Because this is one of those small hinges that history turns on. Before the Soviet Union's counter-offensive the strategic picture for the Germans is actually pretty great, the Soviet Union seems to be on the brink of collapse, after which the huge manpower and raw material reserves will be opened up to Germany.
In hindsight we know this to be false but I'm talking about the contemporary German perspective, the start of December 1941 is looking like Christmas for Germany.
@@abrahamedelstein4806 You make great points, but even if Hitler had not declared war on the US FDR would have still pushed forward. He believed along with Churchill that Germany was the greater threat and he wanted war with Hitler, and Churchill needed the help. I also firmly believe that Stalin wanted another crack at Finland also, but if he did it again in late 1940-41 that would have left his southern flank open to a German attack should Hitler come to the rescue. Great post.
The thought that Hitler couldn't poo and struggled with flatulence is hugely amusing.
It's already known that people who's taking any kind of heavy medications and narcotics they're always Constipated , the late singer Elvis Presley , had that problem and is how he die , not able to poo 💩 , for days !
The Farter…
Really no surprise, he looks like the guy who would fart in the elevator and then give everyone else a dirty look.
@@djquinn11 He even LOOKS like a deeply unimpressive human being and that's before he opens his mouth...
I don't know how I found this channel, but dang glad I did. Good stuff! Keep it up!!!
Thank you kindly.
Wonderful video as usual, well documented and narrated. Just discovered your channel and binge watched it already. You guys, and others like you on this plateform, are this generation's History's Channel. Keep up the good work ! Much love from France.
Thanks for watching!
The thought of Hitler is scary enough. But Hitler on drugs, that's f***ing terrifying.
Thanks for watching.
Almost as scary as Biden as president !
It's similar to how our country is now, they have more people on all sorts of drugs and we have a person in the White House who is most definitely on some type of stimulant to keep him moving but has no idea what's going on.
Thanks for watching
What a load of rubbish!
A drug fiend condemning the use of illegal drugs, THATS RICH
The “ illegal “ use of drugs , just like celebrities and politicians here in America today, they get their fix prescribed by a doctor that will give em whatever they want. But at the same time calling street users criminals and the lowest form of human life. 😂😂
Just like Elvis wanted to work for the DEA while making frequent visits to Dr. Feelgood.
That’s REICH!
That’s so wild to think about it.. but it makes sense. You basically had a situation where a methhead was in charge of one of the most powerful armies in the world. It all really starts to make sense when you know that
Good video Mr. Heaton. Thanks. Don’t know if my impression is correct, it seems when a new drug is invented, and perceived to be effective, helpful, boon to society, any side effects are ignored by most. I’ve read back in the 1960’s, when LSD was invented, and distributed on the black market, little was known about it and no laws regulated it.
Thanks for posting, and the best example was thalidomide.
Good posting. Just like the new Covid vaccines, which are not in reality vaccines, just placebos. They are the only drugs advertised on TV and radio that do not publish potential side effects, which is the loophole that is allowing them to be sued by a collective in federal court. A friend of mine is leading the charge, multiple counts, including perpetuating a fraud and willful misrepresentation and endangerment by Fauci and others.
Yes, we the people are the guinea pigs
@@colinheaton5638 As then, so now...
Thanks for your post firstly. 👍
I watched a short clip of Hitler at an outdoor stadium a few months ago. Whilst happy, he was clearly animatedly so, sat down, surrounded by officials, he was positively bouncing up and down on his seat, he could not keep still. He was very clearly 'on something', possibly multiples of different substances.
Unsure when the video was taken, I think very early on in the war? Perhaps within the first six months of Operation Barbossa?
If a politician acted like that today, they would immediately be called out, thank goodness.
Give me a break! 😂…..Creepy Joe is clearly on massive drug cocktails to survive his dementia and the Dems don’t ‘call him out’. 👎 Things never change with these incompetents. 🤮🙄
Not sure. I'd have to watch the clip you are speaking of. Thanks for watching.
Probably the meth.
I'm pretty sure the 1936 Berlin Olympics is the event you are talking about.
Seen the clip you referenced.
He was TWEAKING.
BIG TIME.
what an insightful detailed story, brilliant work Colin. Apparently the US high command heard of Pervitin's use during Poland and France invasions by Germany ( they stopped issuing this after seeing the detrimental effectsso in turn gave their soldiers ( Armys ) during operation torch quite a high dosage
Thanks for watching. Eisenhower wanted it for our troops also.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Again such a great Channel, very detailed, always interesting and well researched.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELThe military uses stimulants to this day. Especially the airforce.
👍
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
I totally relate to this. I was prescribed Adderall, one of the more powerful stimulants used for attention deficit. Many children and adults take this and other stimulants like Ritalin. They are kind of like Pharmaceutical grade meth, but not as powerful or dangerous as meth. Just like the soldiers in this video, I had lots of energy and drive but in the long run it burnt me out big time. I had to leave my complicated job which is why I was taking it. I slept a lot of the next 2 years. I use the analogy that using stimulants is like putting jet fuel in a car, it may go a lot faster, but at some point it will burn up the engine. I am one of many people that believe Trump takes stimulants. Given his age and his schedule and animated speeches it is very likely pushing him. It's no secret that it was/is given to our US fighter pilots on long missions. The newer stimulant- like drugs provigil and nuvigil are now the first choice for fighter aircraft.
Real talk
Now we know why he always looked amped up! Funny I never was all that interested in AH, WW1 & WW2 but I’m literally turning into a full fledged historian now.. It’s a huge hobby especially being they have so many books, movies and games on the subject..
Look up Colin Heaton's many books on Amazon, a lot of WW II stuff, and thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Gotcha.. Well I’m reading Mein Kampf right now and I def wanna read the biography about Patton afterwards
Apparently, Hitler's constipation was surpassed by that of Mao. I guess that means that they were both full of it.
I was intrigued by this video and now, so much about the last days of Hitler make sense, irrespective of the many conspiracy theorists who claim that he is either still alive, or died later in South America etc.
Thank you for your service Colin. I am highly intrigued by the fact that you, a marine, call yourself a soldier. My father, who *was* a soldier (VFW Korea) told me to *never* to do that...
You are correct, a Marine never calls himself a soldier, but I served in the US Army and Marine Corps.
Say no to drugs or at least say no to war....Great history lesson. I always wondered why the Germans were stopped before going to Dunkirk. Thanks for the lesson and info.

Olympiad and Triumph were on a double bill when we had theatres. Refinstahl kept making films and enjoyed dancing in Africa. That stab in the back gave H quite a resentment to the detriment of his health accelerated by Morell's potions.

I love your channel!

I'm 37 ( live in the US Idaho) and I EVER in my school days being taught about this slice of history. This NEEDS to be taught around the world.
Thank you kindly
This was a recent discovery. I read a book(which was published less than 5 years ago)about this issue.
Americans are notorious worldwide for being uneducated when it comes to geography and history maybe you should campaign to change that
Imagine Hitler in rehab! “My name is Adolf and I’m a drug addict!” “Hello, Adolf!”.
Drugs ,mankind would sell his soul for money.
Thanks for the post.
Agreed
Was it possible that Hitler's propensity for violence was induced by drug use and not by the fact that he was born a violent man?
Doubt it. Probably clouded some of his decisions, but he was still an evil man
love your videos...
Thank you kindly.
That cocktail will get you through the work day
Good clip!
Thanks for watching.
Very interesting! You guys are great!
Thank you kindly
He constantly made gross mistakes
He did. He thought he knew more than his generals
And he paid for them in spades.
Right on Brother, except KGB (Killer Green Bud)
im convinced, it wasn't losing the war that killed him. it was the loss of his supply. i didn't even know oxycodone exsisted back then and yet he was getting that plus cocaine and morphine. nothing but the best stuff. the come down mustve been like falling off the moon
This piece does help us understand the errors made in German tactics and the explanation for example of Hitler sleeping through the early stage of D day makes sense. Imagine the frustration of the Panzer commanders being forced to comply with the order to stand down while aware of the invasion. Also the lack of planning with Operation Barbarossa, not just with supply lines but the timing. When high command must have realised their forces would be facing the legendary Russian winter and the Russians, natives and used to savage cold, but also equipped with clothing required, they must have been concerned to say the least. That they penetrated as far as they did is a credit to the ordinary German soldiers.
So the idea Hitler and others in the High Command were utterly addicted to speed, and for over a decade, really does fill in the blanks. An excellent piece as usual.
How about a video on George Beurling?
Great idea, excellent pilot. We will be doing more pilots in the future.
Screwball Beurling is a good topic
Morell was poisining Hitler the whole time. He even used this as an argument when he was captured by the allayde.
Everyone thought Morell was a quack, including Hitler's previous personal doctor Karl Brandt. Thanks for watching.
I think when he started on drugs when was when his downfall started as well. (Don't misunderstand, it's not that I did not want that to happen.)
07:55 Norman Ohler, an author who researched Hitler's drug use, said he started it up on a serious level staring in 1941. Generally that's the way it is with drugs.
I've seen it happen with people when they get involved with drugs. On the other hand I've seen people lives getting better when they stop with drugs, as well as drinking.
I was in the army and many soldiers I knew told me that they stopped taking drugs because they realized if they didn't do that, they were not going to be around too much longer. 10:53
Thanks you're doing a good job. At point 10:53 you very well have saved a couple of lives.
I liked this one, as The Man Who Was Once Out To Conquer The World suddenly shot himself in a bunker had always puzzled me. Your video shines some light on as to why he did. Great. 👍
Thanks for watching.
Wow wat amazing info!
Thanks for watching.
Once the Allies learned of the Pervatin, Eisenhower ordered half a million doses of meth for American troops in North Africa and continued the orders with the approval of Gen. George Marshall.
We appreciate it
Hitler attacked Stalin because he knew if he waited, Stalin would attack him, and would be unstoppable. Stalin had a lot more men and equipment to move and further to move them, so the Germans were ready first. It wasn't a strategic error, it was an act of desperation. Read 'The Chief Culprit' by Suvarov.
Thank you
Welcome!
Say no to bull semen.
That is a pretty strange treatment. I wonder who the first person was who thought that it was a good idea?
Hess did noy defect to Scotland. He went to negotiate peace yet was imprisoned for life. The British managed to convince the Soviets that Hitler planned to invade, so they moved their forces in such a way that Hitler became convinced they would invade. The British also encouraged Hitler to believe this through various covert means. Then he moved his forces in such a way as to further convince the Soviets of his plans. From the allied point of view, this was brilliant.
The toughest part about being in Hitler's inner circle was when der fuhrer cut the cheese.
That’s crazy
Indeed. Thanks for watching.

Blitzed by Norman Ohler is an amazing book and goes into depth about this if anyone's interested
Thanks for watching.
when were u in the USMC ??
I’m a freshman who just had a test on WW2 but I always wondered what went through his head during this time and how he was able to sleep at night knowing that death and destruction he made in concentration camps and death camps
He hated the Jews. He didn’t consider their deaths troubling.
He literally wasn't the same man who shot himself in the bunker. The DNA from the skull fragments weren't a match.
Should change it to: "If you want to say no to drugs, say yes to God"

Half the world is on some sort of drug.
BRILLIANT ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT VIDEO
10:55 But if Hitler did say no to drugs, there's a good chance the war would have dragged on for much longer, and possibly the Nazis and the Soviets may have still been in an uneasy alliance with each other.
Interesting thought. Thanks for watching
at that time. drugs were new and they didn't have the time to invest in such trials. they needed to get stuff done, like...try to take over the world... and so they paid little attention to the side effects on their soldiers or even to themselves. Life was brutal back then for most people
Thanks for watching.
Excellent presentation! Insightful and accurate.
Thank you kindly!

A lot of actors use drugs. Adolf was a tool of the social engineers.
BTW I love the moral of the story. Ha!!
Some died because of also. Thanks for watching.
I had a heated debate with friends over 25 years ago that the reason Dunkirk took place was because the troops had run out of steam because they overused amphetamines. Looks like I’m not the only one that can make that argument.😊
Cocaine eyedrops are a helluva drug 😂
LOL
The worst war mistakes, were allowing Operation Dynamo to be so successful, declaring war on the US over Japan's actions, and invading Russia. It is hard to know if a person should be happy that he became such a huge junky, or if it helped him become even more of a monster.
Thanks for watching.
As messed up as it is, issuing Pervitin to German troops was an ingenious way to even the odds against superior forces. Remember: the Wehrmacht only had about 3-5 years to completely rearm IN SECRET against the British AND the French, whom both had massive economies of their own combined with their colonial industries abroad. The British & the French each had 20+ years of a well trained, equipped and financed standing armies, while the Germans had a reformed army that just sprung up as a political force under the table and off the books. They needed a way to even the odds against two substantially larger forces than they were, and to do so issued their troops Pervitin, and as a result managed to capture Paris & defeat the strongest land military on the planet at that time, in less than 6 months.
Good point.
There's a reason they call it dope , cause it makes you stupid !

This is a concerning and, in a way, a disturbing subject. I'm glad, Mr. Heaton, that you've devoted attention to it. Most summaries of Germany during the 1920s and 1930s discuss (albeit, often in cursory fashion) Weimar Germany's economic crises, The Nazi Party's mysteriously rapid ascendance, and--as the 1930s ground on--persecution of German Jews and of German Communists and Social-Democrats. That the Wehrmacht pumped its warriors up on a powerful stimulant like Pervitin--and that Hitler became hooked on it--is news (to me).

It's a shame that it didn't force him to see the evils of the reality he was creating. Honestly, stimulants do the opposite to psychedelics.

I wonder if Hitler's Jewish personal Doctor who got the only exemption within the third Reich for Jews that I'm aware of knew of doctor morel, curious to know how different the chemical cocktails were that Hitler received that Kennedy and others got?

If Germany not had not invaded Sovjet, Stalin would had invaded Germany two or three weeks after 22 June. Germany was delaid because Mussolinis failiure in Greece, so Germany was
have to take care of that before invading Sovjet. What would have happened if Germany invaded Sovjet one month before 22 June. One thing amongs of others, Moscow would had been
taken.
Personally, in my opinion, due to several factors, Germany still would not have won that war in the east. First, Germany was not mechanized enough to cover that much terrain, and 3/4 of their transport was horse drawn. Second, they did not have the industrial capacity to compete with the U.S. once they entered the war. Three, North Africa drained precious resources (as did the Balkans) from the Eastern Front that could not be replaced. Fourth, once Stalin relocated all the industrial factories beyond the Ural Mountains, Germany had no way to bomb them and interrupt production. Fifth, Germany did not have the population to replace losses in the field. Sixth, Hitler, once he fired von Brauchitsch and took over the OKW personally, his bad decisions only increased the momentum of failure, as he had no check and balance. Thanks for watching.
Seems to be a reoccurring lesson for major figures especially to not trust their physicians
Imagine how different it may have turned out if he wasn’t loaded. Fascinating to think of that was his undoing, intentionally or even more shockingly catastrophic if not and the doctor genuine believed this would help his leader and the army. Wild
