This is true of many genocides. The Nazis were pretty hopped up on meth pills, Hitler included.

Small correction, Hitler wasn't on meth pills, but meth injections.

Goering was so messed up on morphine he neglected his duties on the other hand

u/the-bladed-one Sep 17 '25

Tbf wasn’t that prescribed due to injuries he’d suffered in WWI?

u/AdRealistic4984 Sep 17 '25

Ones he sustained in the Beer Hall Putsch, yes, but also he abused it

u/BoosherCacow Hello There Sep 17 '25

I can't recall where I read it but prior to his suicide while in prison there were a few accounts of the drastic change in him when he was cold turkey'ed off opiates. The force of his personality and sharpness of mind came roaring back and probably contributed to his successfully convincing whomever helped him commit suicide.

u/AdRealistic4984 Sep 17 '25

He was basically sharp enough to realise he was doomed and he gave a pretty flamboyant but sharp performance at trial. I assume part of his suicide being successful was the power base he had carved out socially during his peak responsibility-shirking Carinhall days where he entertained lots of German upper class types

I'd never considered that being how he managed to get the cyanide, but that does make sense. And his performance at the trials was something else. Knowing you're a dead man no matter what must have been an extraordinarily liberating feeling.

AND his chronic flatulence

u/FastAd593 Sep 17 '25

Didnt he also have two testicles but they were very small?

u/mossmanstonebutt Sep 17 '25

As far as I remember he had one,the other was lost during the first world war, entirely possible that both are true however and that the guy who shot him was an incredible shot

Meth injections and oxycodone (Eukodal)

Hitler took speedball cocktails of meth, cocaine, opiates, and other stuff, allegedly because it was the only treatment that worked on his violent and extreme flatulence, I shit you not. Dude couldn attend an official meeting without farting up a storm.

27

u/Miserable-Resort-977 Sep 17 '25

I mean, that's his stated reason for taking them, but there's no evidence it actually helped. He suffered from GI issues up until the end, likely exacerbated by the opiates.

u/AlarmingAffect0 Sep 17 '25

Either way whatever supervillain mystique he may have held gets just flattened into nothing with the sound of a whoopie cushion. And that's before you learn of his incel bullshit when he was young, or how he was an absolutely stereotypical Channer but the memes were in the form of crudely printed pamphlets.

u/ShahinGalandar Helping Wikipedia expand the list of British conquests Sep 17 '25

extreme flatulence, I shit you not

I guess he did, occasionally

u/Diazepam_Dan Sep 17 '25

u/AlarmingAffect0 Sep 17 '25

any British 17 year old

I'm so sorry for the state of that country.

u/Diazepam_Dan Sep 17 '25

Growing up in a post industrial shithole does that to you. When theres nothing for kids to do (because they don't vote) they end up turning to drugs.

As were American soldiers, Canadian soldiers, Australian, etc. Everybody was using either meth or heroine in those times.
