Because the regulations at the time were that it was very difficult to bring out a new medication onto the market.

Because medications to bring them onto the market, you need certain test phases and all of that stuff.

So that's hard to do in a war, especially in World War II.

So Hitler said to Morel, I'm going to be your guinea pig.

You just make it in your factory.

I test it.

And if I think it's good...

then I'm just going to write a, today you would say like a decree, you know, because I'm the president, you know, I can like order it that it's going to be legal all over Germany.

Well, he liked to experiment, I would say, with drugs and with Morel.

Yeah, he trusted Morel because Morel was not part of any organization.

He was the loner coming from the VIP doctors, his own VIP doctor's office.

And now he was basically Hitler's toy.

Like Hitler could...

get access to all kinds of medications through him, and Morel would never say it to anybody.

He would just write it down, but this was kept quite secret.

No one knew what was going on between the two men.

He was not a threat to Hitler.

Hitler hated all the super smart medicine people.

He never undressed before them.

He never let himself be seen naked because he didn't want anyone to know anything about him that he couldn't control.
