There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

[@TheWinterscoming]

Robert getting audibly uncomfortable with the concept of "People should do less drugs" only to relax when he realizes the 'less' is referring to work is amazing

[@aazhie]

XD agreed, that was my fave part

[@therearedoors]

I nearly spat out my products and services.

[@TVAVStudios]

Even though a commenter on P1 spoiled it, the bit where Hitler's inner circle spent their last days hearing and smelling his world-ending IBS still brought me so much merriment.

[@Bluecho4]

I, for one, am heartened by the knowledge that Hitler lived much of his peak Nazi years as an addict nursing debilitating and compounding medical issues. And that the waning days of his life was him cut off completely from his drugs, so he turned to cynicide and a bullet to escape not only Soviet Justice, but also his extreme agony. Rest in Piss, Adolf.

[@BumboLooks]

Actually it was to treat and hide his Parkinson's and injuries acquired from the bomb assassination attempt. The soviets Killed more people than Hitler ever did. Stalin and Hitler were two supremely evil people. Stalin was definitely more intelligent than Hitler but arguably more evil. Calling soviet actions "justice" is as insane as calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine "Justice".

[@eznosnopes5276]

Even if he won, his life would be over.

[@MrJohndoakes]

He was a mental basket-case long before the drugs got him. Some of it was his awful childhood, some of it was living as a bum in Vienna before the war, a lot of it was trench-living in WWI. Had he just graduated high school and gotten into the art school, we would have been saved so much misery.

[@BumboLooks]

@@MrJohndoakes What are you talking about lol. He didn't have an awful childhood. He never was a bum because he was living off his fathers savings. They don't have "highschools" in Germany. He was rejected from the Academy of Fine Arts simply because they didn't like his art. He didn't suffer any life-long injury mental or physical from serving in WW1. Hitler wasn't a victim in any sense of the word.

[@BumboLooks]

@@eznosnopes5276 How? Explain?

[@DeliveryMcGee]

39:40 Robert speaks the truth, one time I did a roadtrip from upstate New York to Dallas with my partner at the time, and being in our late 20s and stupid, we decided we could do it nonstop, one driving and one napping, switching every time we stopped for gas. The punchline is I took over driving in Memphis, took two No-Doz and washed 'em down with a NOS energy drink ... and the next thing I remember is unlocking the door of my house in Dallas. I have no memory of Arkansas.

Almost everyone is a functioning addict we just don't consider caffeine a drug.

[@davidmcmanus9022]

Absolutely true.

[@j.g.dangerfield3999]

or sugar

[@USSLIBERTYREMEMBERER]

caffeine isn’t a drug it’s a vitamin

[@skeezicksz]

C’mon the effects and consequences of caffeine on someone’s life are literally nothing. Meanwhile drug addiction is a catastrophe for people and their families all over our society. This is such an obnoxious little quip on another level. “Functional addicts”… not even a joke work making dude.

[@BBBobby12]

​@@skeezickszYou've obviously never met someone who was addicted to caffeine and tried to quit

[@moocow3742]

FYI, Eukodal is an old German brand name for oxycodone made by Merck. OxyContin is Purdue's brand name for time-released oxycodone. Don't know whether the slang "oxy" refers to the chemical name or brand name, but either way, Eukodal and oxy are the same thing.

[@thomasgiles2876]

The TL;DW for this episode is that there was more bull sperm in Hitler's blood than Hitler blood. He had more animal hormones injected in him than Mr Hands.

[@BumboLooks]

Is that your fetish? Or was Hitler an insane homosexual zoophile? If so, that makes him a hero in today's world...

[@LexYeen]

now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[@richard_d_bird]

"people should do less." mission accepted

[@diggysoze2897]

“Less is more.”

[@majuuorthrus3340]

"Mussolini is a more mentally stable man than Hitler" I don't think "more mentally stable man than Hitler in late WW2" is a high bar to clear.

[@sholem_bond]

Tbh the line between "functional addict" as Robert defines it, and "this drug was prescribed to me because I couldn't get out of bed/take care of myself/hold down a job or get coursework done, or it would take me hours to get even a little bit done, and now that I'm on the drug I can do those things, or do them in a more normal timeframe" seems really fine in many cases.

[@sholem_bond]

... And of course when one brings the pressure to work in a way that is profitable to capitalism into this, the line probably gets even thinner.

[@noop1111]

Blitzkrieg isn't normal, but on meth it is. Meth, not even once.

[@lanceleone2704]

What's firsting my commenters? Also, this one's... *a trip*. Sorry, had to XD

[@Mrinsecure]

Remember: never take any mind- or body-altering substance without the consultation of a licensed medical professional. Unless that licensed medical professional is Dr. Morell, in which case you should probably get a second opinion.

[@William-Morey-Baker]

😂 bro... fuck doctors. they are basically useless. i go in and tell what is wrong and what i need, and they literally just comfirm what i told them and write me a prescription for the exact thing i already knew i needed. doctors get between me and medical care. they are an obstacle... surgeons and nurses are cool though... but for real, the vast majority of doctors are fucking USELESS. genuinely.

[@critormiss6084]

Hitler once rang for the president of the German People's Vegetarian Association. "Yes?" said the president. "I have an ethical question," said the Fuhrer. "What is it?" said the president. There was a pause. Then, "Is one still a vegetarian if one takes in semen?" The president was shocked and embarrassed to hear the Fuhrer admit to homosexuality. When he spoke again, his words were slow and careful. "The problem with animal flesh is with consent. If you're with a consenting partner, mein Fuhrer, your, erm, dilemma doesn't risk you violating your vegetarian ethics." There was an even longer pause before the Fuhrer spoke again. "So I take it bulls can't consent, then?"

[@csmlyly5736]

Yay part two. Thank you.

[@GBart]

This episode has all sorts of helpful recommendations!!

[@billmozart7288]

Stimpacks in Starcraft make a whole lot more sense

[@nerodia]

getting amphetamines to treat ADHD is like that thing where the drugs just hit perfect to make my life work, but it actually lasts without increasing dosage. Mostly, have had to bump it up by about 25% over the decades I've been on dex.

I accidentally had 50% play speed on during the intro and it's way funnier 😂

[@sholem_bond]

That's what it's like to watch this video on Nazi-sized amounts of meth (probably)

[@josephsager9425]

24:00 does "smoke a bone" mean something different in the context of drugs? Or is Robert talking about dating one of his dealers?

[@bluegum6438]

I've usually heard it referred to as roasting a bone, it just means smoking a joint

[@alexcarter8807]

Yep old-timey reference to smoking a joint. Joint is white, looks like a bone. @@bluegum6438

[@louisvictor3473]

Makes me wonder if his unaliving wasn't just due to having obviously lost, but also his physical and mental health. He is in pain, out of his mind and losing grasp by the day at that point. There is a chance, and I do emphasize it is a chance, he was quite literally just ending his pain. He seems like the delusional enough bloke to believe he could sneak his way out somehow and make an eventual comeback if he were at least closer to having his wits about. constant serious physical pain does things to your mind, it wouldn't surprise me at all if in those last moments he was barely thinking of the war and just snaps at it.

[@LexYeen]

cool hypothesis. Hitler is still Hitler though.

[@louisvictor3473]

@@LexYeen No, Hittler's real name was actually Steve.

[@alexcarter8807]

Russian troops were like 100 meters from the bunker and Hitler could not escape. He didn't want to face a trial or more like, be tortured and displayed in a cage, so he offed himself.

[@diggysoze2897]

You mean his suicide? When hitler blew his brains across the room?

[@trifontrifonov4297]

....so I am Bulgarian. Bulgaria was an "ally" with Germany in WW2. The thing is the Bulgarian tzar died after returning from Germany from heart attack. To this day most people are convinced that Hitler had him poisoned for bargaining for the lives of the Bulgarian Jews. Basically Bulgarian Jews were spared from being send to the death camps (mind that was only Bulgaria Jews, any Jews without Bulgarian citizenship were still round up) and in return Bulgaria joined Germany as an "ally". The thing is....what is the over under of him just getting dosed with meth because it was literally everywhere? For all we know he just ate some chocolates with his coffee without knowing he was getting a big dose of meth. The guy had weak heart. This episode genuinely leaves me wondering if his death was not an assassination, but just the Nazis being drug fiends that had meth all over the place.

[@kingalphawerewolf]

Watch the first episode, but tldr, the whacky doctor jabbed him full of a WILD cocktail, so potent the dude popped back up. And that much of a 'good' thing. Well can't say for sure, but I'd make a big bet that was what killed a man with a already weakened heart, just took a bit.

[@mogilews]

Don't fall into the "Limitless Red Army Horde" argument. The Red Army was pushing back the Wehrmacht with rations of 1-1.2 or even less, only quite late in the war did Stalin manage to amass those 1-10 ratios we see by the Vistula. Furthermore, those 1-10 ratios were accommodated by a qualitative but continuous improvement in skill and equipment. One could argue this is another data point against the constant drug use: the Wehrmacht combat capability was having its ceiling knocked lower - permanently - with each passing week. So a 1-1 combat ratio didn't buy the victory it used to.

[@kingalphawerewolf]

Wild seeing your type here under a lefty channel. I suppose you guys do live off the "we fought hitler" as much as us Americans do, to excuse what horrors our countries has, or is, commiting.

[@TheJuggtron]

The surprise at pilots chocolate surprised me - fighter pilots are trained to use stop and go pills even now.

[@TheWinterscoming]

40:58 "Not early Alex Jones" says the person not* speaking from personal experience about running mushrooms across the country at 19.

[@brazoshopper5081]

who's gonna hang around alex jones without at LEAST a dimebag?

[@se9865]

Theres definitely meth at the Jubitz in NW Portland

[@alexcarter8807]

I can be quite a bit of an English language Nazi but frankly, I welcome the gradual but inevitable change from "ask" or "asked" to "ax" and "axed" as it's simpler, easier to understand, and far easier to say. Likewise, words like "nests" geez, where do we come up with these things? I think we're going to see "nestes" which again, easier to say, easy to understand, and as an added bonus, it's a cozy sort of word.

[@dziban303]
