Meth Fueled Finn

Aimo Koivonen was a soldier in the Finnish Army. During the continuation while on patrol he and his company were being tracked by the Soviets. In desperation Aimo took Pervitin. A German wonder drug to increase endurance and performance. But taking too many, he found himself abandoned by his comrades due to his erratic behavior and on a 2 week long "trip". Hallucinating and skiing all the time, he somehow managed to evade capture, despite skiing right through the middle of a Soviet camp. After 2 weeks he was eventually found weighing only 43 kilograms and with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute.

Fun fact; In most of the world the most popular illegal drugs are depressants like opiods.

Fantastic story. A man i knew, knew an older Finnish man that moved to Sweden. He was a ski patrol soldier during the winter war (WW2). He and his group were patrolling the wilderness and used to take turns finding fire wood. It was really cold (-40 C & F) and they were really tired. They stumbled upon an abandoned civilian house. Being his turn, his comrades went into the house to rest and get a fire started while he gathered fire wood. He gathered wood quickly, finally seeing rest ahead, when he had the house in eyesight, the house detonated completely destroying the houses, and taking the lives of his comrades. Miraculously he survived and made it back to friendly lines, and after the war he moved to Sweden like many Finnish people did at that time, but always felt guilty for his friends losing their lives and him surviving. He was reportedly a hugely generous, kind and silent man.

Being so far gone on psychotropic drugs that your own reality begins to slip away is one of the most truly terrifying things i have ever experienced. Its a level of mental and existential confusion that is impossible to actually relay to someone who hasn’t had such an experience. The feeling of coming too, back to a reality realising that what you thought was real for the last however long in fact was a disassociation/hallucination leads to a horrific sense of temporal confusion and the sense it will never end. Combine that with being in a frozen war-zone and being hunted i just cant imagine. Its incredible that his will to live pushed him on.

In the brutal Finnish cold Aimo was being exposed to, the meth keeping him constantly moving (generating heat from muscle usage) and cranking his metabolism way up (generating heat as well) probably played a significant role in keeping him from freezing to death. Simultaneously, the freezing temperatures kept him cool enough to not die of heat stroke from all the meth he'd taken!

Keep in mind that in 1940, the issues with Meth aren't fully understood at the time by people making it. Hence why Pervatin was an over-the-counter drug in Germany, and mass-issued to the army. A practice that they would try to undo by around 1942 when they began seeing the effects. To some random Finn, I imagine his understanding is even more basic. All he knows is that this will give him energy, not give him the energy to end up in a booby-trapped German base 400km away from his last known position.

All that meth. I knew people who took meth so they could work double shifts. It was all over a sewing factory I worked at, people would take a couple hits on the pipe in their car so they could go over production and get a bonus.

[@natenatenate10]

@@Hollylivengood wired and crazy off of a couple of hits from a pipe? Maybe through ingestion or injection I'd agree, but not through inhalation.

[@Hollylivengood]

@@natenatenate10 I never said wired and crazy off a couple of hits. Not even a hint of it. I said they hit the meth pipe to work longer. You couldn't even tell they had a hit if you hadn't been out in the lot and seen it. Meth lasts a long time. It's longer than crack. And you can buy it for fairly cheap, so it's worth it to the average person wanting overtime by doing a couple of double shifts to burn a little meth, and then work the extra shift. People pick night shifts because you get paid more per hour for night shift. So after a couple of doubles and no sleep, they get a little crazy anyway, then have another couple hits to stay awake for their kids homework and making dinner, and then finally sleep. So the next time they try this sequence, it takes a little more. Next time around, a little more. Eventually they are having quite a lot. I've seen really nice people turn very tweaker like that. When they raised the production rate a t a sewing factory I used to work at, I struggled to make production, and the company was going to fire me. Not just one person, MOST of them offered me meth to speed up my production rate. That's what they did, they said, and they keep their job. This, my friend, is how it goes from a casual use to all the time. And yes, here, everyone uses the glass pipe to heat the bowl and smoke it, so it works right away.

It wasn't just the Germans that used various forms of "speed". It was used during a rescue mission from a Japanese prison camp because it was feared that they would kill the prisoners.

[@DJNaija]

And more recently PLAN combatants, already tough men, turned into superhumans when they did speed: "One of the longest "Escape and evade" actions by a SWAPO freedom fighter was recorded by a Koevoet unit, when during June 1986 Zulu-Four-Sierra and Zulu-Four-Echo Koevoet units picked up a spoor (track) of 2 guerillas north of the cutline near Handabo in Angola. They tracked them south over the cutline, where one turned north back into Angola. The other one headed south, putting considerable distance between himself and the Casspirs every day. They chased him for 5 days, calling helicopter gunship support in the afternoons as the trackers could detect from the spoor that he was near. He managed to remain undetected and the trackers found no signs of sleeping places, and it appears he kept going for 5 days without sleep. Abandoned hypodermic syringes frequently found on his tracks suggested he injected himself with benzedrine or something similar to keep awake. Places were found where he collapsed from exhaustion, dragged himself to a tree, pulled himself upright and continued. Eventually they lost his spoor on the Chandelier Road and it is suspected he was picked up by a car. They had tracked him for 368 km's (228 ml) , which must make it one of the longest Escape and Evade actions in military history." Bear in mind this was a run across a a sandy bush terrain in pretty warm temperatures.
