He didn’t want to end up like Mussolini
Lots of Russians were about to ram that guilt through.
Nah, he was just a tweaker who didn’t want to face the consequences of his actions.
Neither Hitler, nor his top generals, nor even his doctor really knew what the cocktail of pills and injections he was getting to cure him of his flatulence were doing to him.
He was a severe addict towards the end of the war, and that doctor might have singlehandedly been responsible for all the stupid strategic decisions that Hitler took towards the end
He had Parkinsons like symptoms, was on a methamphetemine to combat fatigue, a barbiturate to combat insomnia with some opioids on the side.
There’s no way he wasn’t high 24x7.
Which is why we shouldn’t get too caught up on individuals. There will always be tweakers. The amazing thing is people rallied a genocidal demagogue on drugs and said that’s our guy.
Damn, as someone with ADHD, that’s pretty similar to my usual routine. Adderall, PEA, or benzedrine to focus and get shit done (so I’m not a useless blob), kratom to boost my mood and keep the demons quiet, cannabis so I can sleep and enjoy mundane tasks, and the occasional drink or benzo to take the edge off.
Hang on, did Hitler actually fart a medically significant amount or is “cure him of his flatulence” a somewhat disrespectful way to say killed someone?
I mean… I feel like Hitler might have borne some of the responsibility as well.
Well… The string of stupid strategic decisions didn’t start near the end. But ok, maybe he got some help on the final ones.
In fairness, the consequences of his actions would almost certainly have had a noose at the end and that still would have been too merciful.
If the Soviets got a hold of him I doubt he would have even made it to Moscow for trial!
Yeah, the red army was not known for humane treatment of prisoners.

They even hung Julius Streicher, who basically was a propagandist. Of course Hitler would have hung.
All of the leaders were a bunch of pussies. Especially Himmler.
Don’t talk so bad about Hitler’s killer. He did a great service to the world.
How did it feel to be so optimistic?
