And I took one.

And he's like, this was, we were standing in my riding tower, which is at the river in Berlin.

And he was like, I took one.

And I could feel something.

Then I took another one.

And then it's, you know, I could feel more.

And then I took a third one.

Typical Alex, he would like take three, you know, instead of just taking one.

He took three methamphetamine tablets from the 40s and he said, and then I felt like, and he looked at the river and there was a big, like,

big ship like a cargo ship going by and he said i felt like this ship suddenly there was a shoop he said in german like a motion that was like energy that was grabbing me and i could like i felt so powerful and he told me this and i was like wow this is like and i googled like methamphetamine nazi germany this was in 2010 and there was this one professor uh at the university in ulim who said

The Blitzkrieg was only possible because of methamphetamine.

So I called up this guy and he said, sure, I'll meet you.

And then he gave me the signature for the archive.

Then I went to the archive and then I really started to do my own research.

And then I went to different archives and I tried to find everything on Nazis and drugs.

And that came, everything is in the book.

So that crazy meeting with Alex in my writing tower, that kind of got me on this research journey.

I think so, and I think that also there are archives that are not open.

Let's say the Vatican archive, some secret archives that some very powerful structures have, structures that we might not even know now off the top of our head, which still have a huge influence.

So I think that the human history is quite different from what most historians write.
