So why would we fight them?

It doesn't make sense.

Well, the French, they were already like half black, basically, in Hitler's eyes.

Well, I think that's why the Wehrmacht officers were pissed at Hitler because they knew that they could actually win if it was done in a certain way.

But Hitler's ideology and his stupidity and later also the degeneration of his cognitive abilities did not allow the Wehrmacht to fight in the most effective way.

So Hitler was a very bad leader after Dunkirk.

Morphine was developed in the 19th century by a German, a young chemist called Satyana.

And he wanted to know what is

the potent alkaloid in opium because opium is a natural drug but there's something in the opium that actually is decisive and that's morphine so he was able to extract that from the opium so he basically this young guy he invented morphine which then became you know very important in

Wars, especially like the American Civil War is unthinkable without morphine, or at least it would have been very different because with morphine, you can treat people, you can amputate people, you can fix people up and send them back into battle.

And that also corresponded with the development of the hypodermic needle, the injection needle.

That was around in the mid-19th century.

So the injection needle and morphine together became a very efficient way to treat soldiers.

And that prolonged, for example, the Civil War in America.

So Goering was taking morphine.

Yeah.

Morphine is like the classic.

It's like,

You don't eat opium, you know.

You take what is active in opium and you inject it.
