He took out some of the explosives before he went into the room.

This is one of the big mysteries.

denied.

Like they always said, the Führer was miraculously unharmed.

But he was quite harmed.

His eardrums were blown, which was, you know, it's quite an injury, I guess.

And then a new doctor comes in.

His name is Giesing.

Because Morel was not a, in Germany we have, well, I guess it's worldwide.

It's the ear, nose and throat specialist, right?

And Giesing gave Hitler cocaine because cocaine at the time was being, was, you know, it was used, it was not schedule one, you know, it was, it had the effect that it would numb the pain and you could, you could like use it.

You would like put it on a certain place where you had the pain and then it would numb that area.

But Hitler was like, he'd never taken cocaine before, but he got very interested in it.
