That is a turning point.

That was the first big mistake Hitler did.

Well, they were very lucky that it all worked out.

Also, the guys in the tanks could all have freaked out on the meth because it was never tested before.

Can you actually be in a combat situation in a tank in enemy territory on meth?

Can people actually cope with that and be better fighters?

Going through the mountains.

Well, what meth does is...

because I read reports of depressed, the depressed atmosphere right before the attack started, because they were afraid.

They thought they would lose.

Like they didn't want that, you know, soldiers, maybe some, you know, really hardcore Nazi soldiers, but most people were just normal guys, you know, they didn't want to start that.

But once they had the methamphetamine, it kind of, you're like in a party mood.

So you're also, when you're in the tank, you know, and everyone likes it, you know, it's rather an uplifting thing.

Like they were,

They were really getting into it and they really, you know, they started fighting.

Then it's also intoxication, you know, it's a rush.

Like what does meth feel like?

Well, meth creates the so-called fight or flight motors.

So either you, like it releases all the neurotransmitters in the brain, which are released in situations of high danger, for example, right?

So in a highly dangerous situation, you become very alert so you can cope with the situation.
