Like he didn't feel safe anymore in his own bunker, you know?

And he was like Nazis and the right wing is always paranoid.

Like who's the enemy?

Like they're behind us.

Like they're stabbing us in the back.

So Hitler was this type of person.

So the cocaine kind of stabilized him.

And Giesing realized that this guy is like a drug guy.

He didn't know.

He came in, he saw the Führer for the first time.

He was like in awe.

And like a drug wreck was approaching him.

And as soon as he had some cocaine in his system, because this was summer of 44, he already had taken a lot of opioids and a lot of drugs.

And a lot of these dubious hormonal concoctions, which led to autoimmune diseases in Hitler, maybe even had Parkinson's.

Morale basically turned him into a physical wreck.

Giesing also writes about this like he's like trembling before he goes into the room for the first time where the Führer is and then this like old guy like in a blue kind of pyjama is kind of coming up to him and kind of shaking his hand that's the Führer you know and Giesing is like totally shocked because he's like you know the destiny of the German nation the whole Europe everything is like

hangs on this guy you know and then whenever he takes cocaine he's a little bit better like but the cocaine had the problem that Giesing was more of a at least later in his discussions with the US military he described himself as a conscientious guy and he's like

I became like, I had the kind of problems giving Hitler more cocaine.

Yeah, and I'm sure Hitler could have sensed that.

And then Morel started disliking Giesing because Hitler spent more time now with Giesing than with him.
