*cut to 1945* how could this have happened
nazi germany makes a lot more sense when you think of it as a decade long paranoid meth binge

I don't know if it actually happened , but I listened to Dan Carlin's Hardcore history - ghosts of the ostfront and it was cool when he mentioned how the red army lined up dying german soldiers on the mud, hosed them down with water to freeze them and then drove their vehicles over them.
Also the part where people from fleeing german towns left a bunch of alcohol behind to the advancing red army with hopes of distracting them and slowing them down, but the Russians drank it all and got hornier and angrier and ended up raping everybody. I recommend listening to that podcast.
in beevor's berlin there's a story about advancing red army troops capturing a chemical plant with a big tank of methanol that they mistook for ethanol then literally drank themselves to death
