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.

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.
