Nah, he was just a tweaker who didn't want to face the consequences of his actions.
Neither Hitler, nor his top generals, nor even his doctor really knew what the cocktail of pills and injections he was getting to cure him of his flatulence were doing to him.
He was a severe addict towards the end of the war, and that doctor might have singlehandedly been responsible for all the stupid strategic decisions that Hitler took towards the end
He had Parkinsons like symptoms, was on a methamphetemine to combat fatigue, a barbiturate to combat insomnia with some opioids on the side.
There's no way he wasn't high 24x7.
Which is why we shouldn't get too caught up on individuals. There will always be tweakers. The amazing thing is people rallied around a genocidal demagogue on drugs and said that's our guy.
Brain: doesn't regulate chemicals correctly You: fine I'll do it myself!
Buddy, I've got some bad news...
Nah, the amazing thing is the majority was overpowered by a minority of disfunctional tweaker psychopaths.
This is the great, fatal human flaw. Where is our immunity!?!
Better species needed sadly.
I mean... I feel like Hitler might have borne some of the responsibility as well.
Hang on, did Hitler actually fart a medically significant amount or is "cure him of his flatulence" a somewhat disrespectful way to say killed someone?
he was a fartboy
she said smell ya later boy.
Gassy fella
that he was
Well... The string of stupid strategic decisions didn't start near the end. But ok, maybe he got some help on the final ones.
hitler had a personal doctor, whom was jewish apparently he liked the DR enough for him to not kill him.
In fairness, the consequences of his actions would almost certainly have had a noose at the end and that still would have been too merciful.
If the Soviets got a hold of him I doubt he would have even made it to Moscow for trial!
Yeah, the red army was not known for humane treatment of prisoners.
soviets did employed non-consesual activities as a weapon.
They even hung Julius Streicher, who basically was a propagandist. Of course Hitler would have hung.
All of the leaders were a bunch of pussies. Especially Himmler.
he was on too much meth.
Imagine that little shit (Hitler) realizing that the world waa full of billions of people who would enact creative vengeance on him, left alone for a few minutes.
He must have been throughly terrified to the bone and beyond.
But he would also be proud to still be a part of american culture in 2025
Don't talk so bad about Hitler's killer. He did a great service to the world.
