So the video could be fake, it could be sped up.

I think it's fake.

Because I think someone read my book that Hitler was on, thought that Hitler was always on meth and created this.

But I might be wrong.

He was also a weird guy.

Maybe he was really just rocking because he was so happy what he saw, you know, maybe he really got into it.

Maybe it was a sexual thing for him what he saw.

I don't know.

There's no document showing that he took a drug on that day.

invaded the Soviet Union on June 22nd.

So this is about six weeks into the campaign, which was called Unternehmen Barbarossa.

And Germany was doing pretty well.

And it came to a crucial moment where high command said, now we're going to take Moscow.

And Hitler said, no, we're going to split up the troops and take Leningrad, which is now St.
