But Conti saying that wasn't enough.

I don't think Hitler was really into meth.

It was not his thing.

He was more into the opioids.

into these weird hormonal things.

Those things were, especially the opioids, were interesting to him because you can function on opioids for a long time if you have a proper product and a doctor that gives you the injections.

I mean, Göring was addicted to morphine from 1923 until when the Americans captured him in 45.

That's 22 years he was functioning on morphine.

And when they captured him, he had, I write about it in Blitz, like the amount of morphine capsules he had on him.

So what the Americans did was first take away all the morphine from him.

And then he went through withdrawal in American, you know, incarceration and he lost, you know, a lot of pounds and he became like a more of a haggard, uh, Goering, which was then in Nuremberg, you know, this haggard kind of guy defending what he did.

And so, um,

Hitler was really an opioid guy while the army was really messed up.

He started cocaine after the bomb attack by Stauffenberg on July 20th, 1944, when this bomb went off, which actually killed a few people in the room.

This was during a military briefing.

Stauffenberg put a bag with explosives under the table.

And the table actually saved Hitler's life because it was a good German quality oak table.

So the table was so stable that the bomb explosion...

Kind of just kind of blew up the table, but Hitler behind the table was protected by this table.

I mean, it's very weird that it didn't succeed because he had the bomb.
