If you're like under life threat and you don't even react to it, you're probably going to be dead, you know.

But the body does that and methamphetamine does that.

So you take a pill of methamphetamine or you snort a line of methamphetamine and you're like this, you're like...

And then that's the fight or flight mode.

Either you run away, like it's too much, you know.

But on meth, you usually don't run away.

You kind of think it's really cool what's happening.

You like to move.

You like to be with your pals.

You like to, you know, be in a tank.

It's great.

So there is a party aspect to it.

I think it was very joyful for the German soldiers because it was springtime.

They had immediate successes.

And it wasn't heavy fighting.

It was just being in the tank.

I mean, there was, of course, fighting and there were also war crimes.

And I read a report when Rommel, high on meth, like at night doesn't stop, of course, because they all, you know, they don't stop at night, but every army usually stops at night.

So the French army were stopping.

They were in a village.
