@@stomper2888 I would definitely go see all the big events in ww2. The nukes, hitlers suicide, the invasion of Poland, the kamikaze attacks - it'd be a dream come true. I'd literally spend the rest of my life living vicariously through different historical figures if such a thing existed. Like the 3 eyed raven from Game of Thrones 😂
Fun fact; In most of the world the most popular illegal drugs are depressants like opiods. In Finland the most popular one by far has since the end of WW2 been amphetamine, an upper, and it's directly linked to how many veterans got addicted to Pervitin during the war. Even to this day the biggest drug busts are for amphetamine.
meth doesn't cause pshycedlic visuals jus makes you super energized and once when you do hallcinate it like stuff on your skin and you see shadow people or hear voices nothing like tripping
Sorry to tell you, it's not "Imo" it's "Aimo" unlike in English, in Finnish we pronounce the letters as they are written. In English when there's an "i" it's pronounced like "ai", as a finn that's to my ears.
I've met a few Finns throughout my life and they are hard drinking, hard living and tough, but this man is beyond tough. An extraordinary story of survival.
Watch the statistics and video " Country alcohol consumption comparison worldwidely." Russians are heaviest alcohol consumers in the world. Finland is far far behind.
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 Finns buy much alcohol in Estonia and Russia. Small countries with relative expensive alcohol and neigbours with cheaper alcohol tend to drop lower on statistics because of border shopping, while in reality they drink more. Norwegians shop in Sweden, Swedes shop in Denmark and Danes in Germany and so on.
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 I would add that Scandinavian ppl have probably stopped drinking as much as life got better, for swedes/Norwegians/danes in the early 1900s, for finns in the mid/late 1900s. In the late 1800s a swedish anti drinking organization said that ppl should b content with the equivalent of 0.75 liters of vodka per day. This seems totally ludicrous to us today but that how much ppl drank back then. The Info is from the swedish magazine "historia" (history).
@Prime Minister Blackface I don't know though... as a swede I have known alot of Finnish women and they do seem to have a very big temper. And that could very well b cultural...
Pervitin actually made many Finnish remote patrol soldiers addicted of it. After the war, the remote patrol soldiers who survived were too addicted to Pervitin that they had to go to rehab for years. Some stayed addicted for the rest of their lives.
i am sure most of those who were still addicted after returning home didn't have much to return to (family, friends, and other kinds of fulfillment in life)
@jeffreyhemmer7565 "sides" can be a bit confusing during that time for some since Finland needed some nazi help against the soviets, and Germany and Finland officially became enemies as late as September 19, 1944, when Finland signed the Moscow Armistice with the Soviet Union. (next was the lapland war against germans.) But his username is finnish so we can assume his granddad was finnish also.
@jeffreyhemmer7565 the correct side, unfortunately. the state of the world today shows what the victors of WWII had in mind and it's been a total disaster.
As a veteran from Canada whose spent a good bit of time doing winter warfare, the thought of being stranded in these conditions and this state is absolutely horrifying
It’s already one of the most inhospitable and unforgiving environments, and then you add on overdosing and constantly having the threat of Soviet patrols. It’s definitely a terrifying thought.
Fun fact: if Aimo took an extra pill he would have reached Moscow and won the war. By the way Aimo Is still High on amphetamine till this day, 32 years After his death
Finns are truly weird and extraordinary people No wonder the Soviets had problems dealing with them Edit : The original comment had Russians not Soviets so I hope no one starts a fight
Left Brain: This is the epitome of how drugs can literally ruin your life but also serves as a learning experience on historical and emergency applications. The Finnish landscape is an unforgiving one and takes incredible survivability, adaptability and most of all, hope to prevail. Right Brain: “Haha Nyan Finn”

All jokes aside, it would be absolutely horrifying to be so out of your head that you can't distinguish reality anymore, or stop yourself from moving because you're so hyper. I mean, I've taken too much Adderall before, but I wasn't running from Russians on skis during ww2 when I did it.
There's some symbolism to the bird Aimo ate being a siberian jay (kuukkeli in Finnish). It's a very curious bird and often comes to examine forest-goers up close. In old Finnish folk belief it's seen as a bird of luck and also a soul bird - a creature that is inhabited by the soul of a dead person. It's seen as bad luck to kill a siberian jay and it's said that a hunter's luck is gone forever if he kills one.
Maybe, if I play into to the folklore here, the bird was probably like a symbol of his good luck having run out, and him killing the bird was maybe a symbol of him making the best of a terrible situation.
Playing the Nyan Cat theme while he skid away from the soviets at blazing speed with a rainbow trail behind him was a good touch I laughed a bit after seeing that thanks yarnhub
Actually this was literally the nazis strategy and it fueled their victories. Im sure it had something to do with Hitlers fucked up inflated ego too. Meth tends to do that...
This story, although seen by many as a joke and something to laugh, was the most traumatic experience and the worst nightmare Aimo had lived, it isn't a joke, he suffered for many days, and probably had PTSD for years.
I was thinking the same thing. The absolute horror of what that man must have experienced.. How many times did he think he was saved, only to be left alone again with nothing but grim determination to keep moving forward. Out of all of YarnHub's videos, this one hits hard about how brutal and shocking and sad war is.

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.
@@dowkinners4106 I have "panic" attacks where I hallucinate and completely lose my grasp of reality, it's the most hellish thing I experience, worse than any physical or emotional pain. I'm currently going through medical procedures to try and see what the hell this is, which before we used to think they were just part of my anxiety, but there's no way. These last at most 10 minutes, I can't even begin to imagine how it felt for Aimo. It must've been truly hell. It was on a battlefield in a frozen wasteland, with injuries and the actual threat of death instead of the imagined one my mind conjures up. He's a hero just for making through it.
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.

I've heard this story before on a couple of other RUclips channels. This one went into more details about what types of hallucinations he was experiencing, and what his injuries were after the fact. So far the best telling I've seen on RUclips👍
Having been that high before (college) I find the story to be that much more gripping. People who have not had such hallucinations can never fully grasp how real it feels. Imagine getting up to go to work and working half way through your shift as normal; and then, finding your self in bed having not done anything at all and only ten minutes have passed. That must have been terrifying to be lost in the forest in such a mental state.
I’ve experienced that growing up being sick in the bed. You imagine yourself going up to the toilet and you think you’re there. But then you realized you never left the bed. A lot to people do that getting sick off boos
@@beenez8194 Yeah. Being sick and sleep-deprived from coughing all night or just general discomfort produces some results that sound like descriptions of bad trips. Honestly makes my wonder why people take drugs in the first place.
This was the last video I watched before my parents divorced. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the video until over a year later, and it is a wonderful video. This just shows that your videos lead me through crazy hard times and bring a smile to my face when others can’t. Thank you.
Moral of the story: Don't take drugs especially Meth and more importantly don't give it to a Finnish soldier named Aimo cus he will punch your logs and burn your log cabin
Side moral: Don't invade Finland (White Death was terrifying enough without meth addicts running through your camp while Larry Thorne sabotages your vehicles)
@@zacharyradford5552 Sadly 99% most likely just shot, if I remember Aimo's group was a scout group that did long range missions behind the lines. So those Soviets chasing them were out of for blood for what they had done.

@@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943 When people have died of meth use at raves, it is typically from a combination of dehydration and heat stroke - their bodies overheat from the combination of the drug, the physical activity, and the close confines. 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!
Man, this animation is out of this world ! The way you guys tell the story is always amazing. You guys should have 1million by now, I don't know how you guys are only at 500k but amazing job guys!
There's no need to tell stories from the Philippines because we're brownies. Other white people don't like stories from us because it's too exaggerated.
Tell me about it. If you ever get to play Talvisota: Icy hell, as Finns you get to deploy field kitchens. They attract soviet soldiers, because they are starving. In real life history, a potentially war-winning soviet raid failed because the soviet soldiers abandoned their mission to attack the defenders from behind and instead started eating the Finn's dinner - enough sausage soup for two thousand people. The delay gave the Finns enough time to regroup and drive the raiders back. We call this event the sausage war. Truly one of the legendary meals of history.
Achievement unlocked: survived while high on drug Achievement unlocked: pass through a Russian base while high on drug Achievement unlocked: the first soldier to be high on military drug
A great story of endurance and bravery, just with a much different twist. Pervitin was horribly abused by the Germans and soldiers literally fought like machines until killed in action or the side effects that come with any abuse of meth amphetamine took them out of action.
Because Aimo has Sisu as all Finns do. With Sisu you can get through life's hardest moments as you summon that strength and courage to do so from within.
I love how he doesn't think to break/hack one of the pills off and just takes the whole fucking bottle. What an actual mad lad 14 days out of his mind on Meth how he didn't have a heart attack is incredible maybe it was something to do with the extreme cold no idea.
That part of the story was oddly told in this video, irl he was both in a hurry and couldn't take single pills both due to wearing leather mittens and the pills having frozen together in clumps
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.
When I was in the Army, the Medics would give "Pink Hearts" to certain personnel. At NTC, I was clearing tank turrets. After 4 straight days, I went to my BMO and told him the wires were crawling. They put me on a plane. Yeah, this shit happens.
The real WW2 warcrime was the fact that Germany never discovered tecno music. With all that amphetamine they had WW2 would have been the best rave party in history.
Fun fact: the German invasion of the Low Countries and France was made so much easier as with meth the Germans could fight much longer and easier than their allied counterparts giving them an advantage. Thanks to this the British and French never expected these advances and fights that were happening much longer than they could handle so in a way was kinda one of the things that helped France fall (obviously not the main one)
@@greeniedi6287 I don’t mean the sole reason yes obviously there were different reasons like the Blitzkrieg and massive tank attacks but the meth kept the soldiers fighting much longer against their counterparts which also posed a problem
The entire time Aimo’s story was being told, the only thoughts in my mind were: “Drink cactus juice, it’ll quench ya! Nothing’s the quenchiest!” And “Why are we in the middle of the ocean?” Which makes me *wheeze*
I admit to being a major snob who usually looks down on memes, but I just did a google search of this Finn and the memes had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Worth checking out.
Я в шоке от этого фина.Вот же дал Бог, этому человеку феноменальное здоровье, и выносливость. Я бы уже сдох, через десять километров, такого пути. На лыжах, по заснженому лесу.
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. Really nice people who kept saying "it's only bad if you don't control it." And none of them could control it. They all got wired, and acted crazy.
@@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.
You guys should do a video about an american f16 pilot on the Gulf War, his name was Emmet Tulia and he managed to dodge 6 SAM's all by himself without chaffs or flares! I would love to hear more details about this story
As a meth user that used to be deep in addiction, now I use recreationaly on weekends. I can't even imagine what Aimo went through. Taking 30 doses of pharmaceutical grade meth produced out of ephedrine and not out of pseudoephedrine which isn't as potent as ephedrine. Older users told me that meth made out of pseudo is incomparable to the ephedrine one. Myself i went through some extreme conditions or events. Multiple days without food and minimum water, staying awake for 6-7 days before completely losing my shit hearing voices from all the adjacent appartments talking shit about me. Even through earplugs. Being tricked by the shadows of branches moving in the wind or seeing people in cars that were empty, people that changed into bushes as I got closer. Crazy stuff. Aimo had to be so fucked up especially as it was his 1st trip. My first line was about 0,05 mg and I partied till 6-7 am while moderately drinking and smoking multiple joints after that I spent few hours at some appartment chilling out before I went home to fall asleep in hour or so after just lying there. I would love to hear the whole story. I wonder if Aimo ever did write down what happened during those days. Also dont judge the drug, judge the personality, character, willpower and mental strength of the user you judge. As meth isn't physically addicting. It's all in your head. I've been in the shit. I found the switch in my mind or the strength to not be the drug's puppet and started using in much less harming manner. I have a steady job for the longest time I ever did now. I dropped all the shit people I knew. I don't know why I am writing all of this down anymore but I'll post it anyway. If I regret anything? Yes, many things. Mostly I regret for being so naive I ignored my friends' warning and fell in love with abusive psychically ill person that tore my heart apart. Leaving me in heavy depression drinking my sorrow away working my way through all the kinds of substances.
I’m a weekend user too and have been a few years now, 7 days is a normal run sometimes , never hear or see anything , I also eat normally and Even work at a job etc and do everything I’d normally do 🤷♂️ my life got better once I stopped consuming alcahol or weed or anything else I only do meth now as it’s never negatively affected me, I also don’t associate with other users so I don’t get involved in the meth or criminal scene. I like hearing other peoples experiences though and I appreciate even more when people are open about their use , meth has such a stigma and is hugely misunderstood
Wow thank you I am an active meth user also. I have been for the last 25 years I’ve been off the needle 4 of the last 6 years I got back on for about a year then quit again back in December I’ve seen just about every aspect of the life you can imagine except maybe the gay chem sex seen as an artist it really help me create but has stolen my joy and cost me more than wish I could be a weekend warrior lol also an opioid addict currently taking Soboson for last four years to replace heroin don’t think I will ever Be sober but my kids are happy and well looked after I guess it’s difficult for every one 95% of ppl I interact with say they would’ve never known that I use had I not disclosed my drug use lol
@@michaelcutshaw3542 I know what you say is the truth, and that you're not making it up. Do you know how I know? I knew right away you were real when you said it stole your joy. I too am a needle user. Well I was, for 23 years, until I had no veins left to hit. Now I only eat it. Never been in trouble from meth because I don't associate with users. I'm not a tweaker in the usual sense of the word. I sleep every night and eat regularly... At 300 pounds I don't look like I use, that's why I fly under the radar. What meth took from me was my health, and like you, it took my ability to feel genuine joy. Google "long term affects of meth on the body", although I imagine you probably already have at some point. It's gotten to the point where if I just stop cold turkey, my heart palpitates and my blood pressure drops to the point where I have to sit down or pass out. Meth most likely is the only thing keeping me alive. I've made a Dr appointment for a referral to a heart specialist to see what can be done to get me off this shit safely. My one regret is a fucking wasted life. I have so many talents and skills that I've pisses away. I'm married to a beautiful woman and have 2 amazing kids and all 3 are oblivious, because I still go to work every day and function normally. If I didn't have dope though, I'd most likely be dead. At 44 years old I'm as good as dead anyways. Quit while you can, if you haven't already reached the point of no return.
This is one of my favorite yarnhub videos so far the shots of aimos face when he's hallucinating and the hallucinations are all realy well animated as are all of your videos! Thanks for bringing this great story too us!.
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. The almost 100% answer when told that because of their condition that taking the shot could kill them the freed prisoners responded that then they would die free.
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.
Being a former meth addict a lot of this story rang true for me. Meth is a horrible drug. Thank you for sharing this great story. Being lost and on drugs if you keep trying you can find salvation.
He took too much should just took some of tablets. Your right it’s horrible but right way it could have helped him fight. Some tablets instead entire thing
Can confirm. Never been addicted myself, but I've had a few experiences of meth mixed with amphetamine sulphate, which is fairly common here in Finland. The last time I took some was on New Year's eve 2023-24. I was running away from the police (who weren't even after me, or anyone for that matter) into a snowy forest.
"Finnish soldiers ski at high speed through the trees" sounds like some sort of voice warm up. I heard the careful strain 😂 Also, the minuscule amount of time between "Aimo felt, energised" and "Aimo was not well" was absolutely hilarious.
Well, this was a very interesting story about the will to live and Brown Bear playing the balalaika. Pervitin on one hand was decremental to him on the other it kept him alive.
Ah yes we see the Finnish soldier in its natural behavior and habitat they can reach speeds to Who knows what truly a amazing sight but this is no ordinary Finn it is fueled with meth which enhances its ability to dash further than the eye can see truly extraordinary no wonder the Russian’s feared such beast
I have after no sleep for 7 days experienced this. No drugs no alcohol but I was seeing bugs hearing demons. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I've been shot at and rather have that happen again than go back to the horror of hallucinations and auditory torment the mind can bring upon you. Bless this man.
Good Lord. The weird "REM while awake" effect I was getting after just a couple *days* without sleep (curse you, Greyhound Bus) was bad enough. I don't want to think what a whole *week* would be like.
@@brigidtheirish it was absolutely the worst thing Ive ever gone through. The amount of absolute terror of not being able to fight back against something you cant even see. It messed me up for weeks. So super f'd up you wouldn't believe. (P.s) greyhounds sucked.
@@CProductU Totally believe it. I imagine it'd be something like a combination of my own experience with shorter periods of sleep deprivation combined with the withdrawal symptoms I've experienced when the local health system decided to eat my refill request for the medications that *keep me sane.* Only worse, because I still had enough mental control to realize what was going on and brace for mental turbulence. And, yes, Greyhound *sucks.* Or sucked. I heard they went bankrupt or something a little while ago. *And about time.*
@@CProductU Yeah. Thankfully, my sanity drugs aren't of the anti-psychotic variety, although the combination almost might as well be. They just make rational thought possible without constant interference from pinballing emotions and runaway anxiety. Still working on a few things, like *focusing.*
The UK had liquid methedrine which kept 60's London moving. 2-3 weeks without sleep was normal and brought about the expression "to crash". After a while, the government realised it was only being used by clubbers and banned it. Many switched to prescription heroin and cocaine as a result.

Fun fact; In most of the world the most popular illegal drugs are depressants like opiods. In Finland the most popular one by far has since the end of WW2 been amphetamine, an upper, and it's directly linked to how many veterans got addicted to Pervitin during the war. Even to this day the biggest drug busts are for amphetamine.

Russians are heaviest alcohol consumers in the world. Finland is far far behind.
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 Finns buy much alcohol in Estonia and Russia. Small countries with relative expensive alcohol and neigbours with cheaper alcohol tend to drop lower on statistics because of border shopping, while in reality they drink more.

@@blackcoffeebeans6100 I would add that Scandinavian ppl have probably stopped drinking as much as life got better, for swedes/Norwegians/danes in the early 1900s, for finns in the mid/late 1900s.

@Prime Minister Blackface I don't know though... as a swede I have known alot of Finnish women and they do seem to have a very big temper. And that could very well b cultural...
Pervitin actually made many Finnish remote patrol soldiers addicted of it. After the war, the remote patrol soldiers who survived were too addicted to Pervitin that they had to go to rehab for years. Some stayed addicted for the rest of their lives.
i am sure most of those who were still addicted after returning home didn't have much to return to (family, friends, and other kinds of fulfillment in life)

There's some symbolism to the bird Aimo ate being a siberian jay (kuukkeli in Finnish). It's a very curious bird and often comes to examine forest-goers up close. In old Finnish folk belief it's seen as a bird of luck and also a soul bird - a creature that is inhabited by the soul of a dead person. It's seen as bad luck to kill a siberian jay and it's said that a hunter's luck is gone forever if he kills one.
And yet that bastard lived to tell the tale

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.

He's a hero just for making through it.
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.

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.

When I was in the Army, the Medics would give "Pink Hearts" to certain personnel. At NTC, I was clearing tank turrets. After 4 straight days, I went to my BMO and told him the wires were crawling. They put me on a plane. Yeah, this shit happens.
The real WW2 warcrime was the fact that Germany never discovered tecno music. With all that amphetamine they had WW2 would have been the best rave party in history.
Fun fact: the German invasion of the Low Countries and France was made so much easier as with meth the Germans could fight much longer and easier than their allied counterparts giving them an advantage. Thanks to this the British and French never expected these advances and fights that were happening much longer than they could handle so in a way was kinda one of the things that helped France fall (obviously not the main one)
I read most of Norman Ohler's Blitzed. It's about how the Nazis used meth and Hitler's drug addiction.
@@Rabbit_AF that sounds interesting I'll look into the book
No, Meth was certainly not the reason why the Germany Army advanced so fast in 1940.
@@greeniedi6287 I don’t mean the sole reason yes obviously there were different reasons like the Blitzkrieg and massive tank attacks but the meth kept the soldiers fighting much longer against their counterparts which also posed a problem

This story is totally different for all the one i watched on yarnhub, inspiring, funny and energetic, loved it ❤️
The entire time Aimo’s story was being told, the only thoughts in my mind were: “Drink cactus juice, it’ll quench ya! Nothing’s the quenchiest!” And “Why are we in the middle of the ocean?” Which makes me *wheeze*
Same
Dude, I did not expect an ATLA reference. Man, Thanks.

I admit to being a major snob who usually looks down on memes, but I just did a google search of this Finn and the memes had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

Я в шоке от этого фина.Вот же дал Бог, этому человеку феноменальное здоровье, и выносливость. Я бы уже сдох, через десять километров, такого пути. На лыжах, по заснженому лесу.
ну он служил, наверняка его тренировали в беге на лыжах.. К тому же, его добрые сослуживцы забрали аммуницию и провизию - он был налегке

Hello ruskies👋
Aimo survived the WWII with meth, Netflix should create a movie about how he literally tripped he's way out of the war.😂
Finnish Meth Soldier= Stronk,escapes capture and probably become a super soldier.
Russian Army- "Write that Down!,Write that Down!"
As someone who's done some serious tripping and had many a blackout i feel so much empathy for this soldier
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. Really nice people who kept saying "it's only bad if you don't control it." And none of them could control it. They all got wired, and acted crazy.
@@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.
@@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.

You guys should do a video about an american f16 pilot on the Gulf War, his name was Emmet Tulia and he managed to dodge 6 SAM's all by himself without chaffs or flares! I would love to hear more details about this story
Since Gulf War One, America has killed four million Muslims.
@@BillOweninOttawa Hm ok I guess?
As a meth user that used to be deep in addiction, now I use recreationaly on weekends. I can't even imagine what Aimo went through. Taking 30 doses of pharmaceutical grade meth produced out of ephedrine and not out of pseudoephedrine which isn't as potent as ephedrine. Older users told me that meth made out of pseudo is incomparable to the ephedrine one. Myself i went through some extreme conditions or events. Multiple days without food and minimum water, staying awake for 6-7 days before completely losing my shit hearing voices from all the adjacent appartments talking shit about me. Even through earplugs. Being tricked by the shadows of branches moving in the wind or seeing people in cars that were empty, people that changed into bushes as I got closer. Crazy stuff. Aimo had to be so fucked up especially as it was his 1st trip. My first line was about 0,05 mg and I partied till 6-7 am while moderately drinking and smoking multiple joints after that I spent few hours at some appartment chilling out before I went home to fall asleep in hour or so after just lying there. I would love to hear the whole story. I wonder if Aimo ever did write down what happened during those days. Also dont judge the drug, judge the personality, character, willpower and mental strength of the user you judge. As meth isn't physically addicting. It's all in your head. I've been in the shit. I found the switch in my mind or the strength to not be the drug's puppet and started using in much less harming manner. I have a steady job for the longest time I ever did now. I dropped all the shit people I knew. I don't know why I am writing all of this down anymore but I'll post it anyway. If I regret anything? Yes, many things. Mostly I regret for being so naive I ignored my friends' warning and fell in love with abusive psychically ill person that tore my heart apart. Leaving me in heavy depression drinking my sorrow away working my way through all the kinds of substances.
I’m a weekend user too and have been a few years now, 7 days is a normal run sometimes , never hear or see anything , I also eat normally and Even work at a job etc and do everything I’d normally do 🤷♂️ my life got better once I stopped consuming alcahol or weed or anything else I only do meth now as it’s never negatively affected me, I also don’t associate with other users so I don’t get involved in the meth or criminal scene. I like hearing other peoples experiences though and I appreciate even more when people are open about their use , meth has such a stigma and is hugely misunderstood
Wow thank you I am an active meth user also. I have been for the last 25 years I’ve been off the needle 4 of the last 6 years I got back on for about a year then quit again back in December I’ve seen just about every aspect of the life you can imagine except maybe the gay chem sex seen as an artist it really help me create but has stolen my joy and cost me more than wish I could be a weekend warrior lol also an opioid addict currently taking Soboson for last four years to replace heroin don’t think I will ever Be sober but my kids are happy and well looked after I guess it’s difficult for every one 95% of ppl I interact with say they would’ve never known that I use had I not disclosed my drug use lol
@@michaelcutshaw3542 I know what you say is the truth, and that you're not making it up. Do you know how I know? I knew right away you were real when you said it stole your joy. I too am a needle user. Well I was, for 23 years, until I had no veins left to hit. Now I only eat it. Never been in trouble from meth because I don't associate with users. I'm not a tweaker in the usual sense of the word. I sleep every night and eat regularly... At 300 pounds I don't look like I use, that's why I fly under the radar. What meth took from me was my health, and like you, it took my ability to feel genuine joy.
Google "long term affects of meth on the body", although I imagine you probably already have at some point. It's gotten to the point where if I just stop cold turkey, my heart palpitates and my blood pressure drops to the point where I have to sit down or pass out. Meth most likely is the only thing keeping me alive. I've made a Dr appointment for a referral to a heart specialist to see what can be done to get me off this shit safely.
My one regret is a fucking wasted life. I have so many talents and skills that I've pisses away. I'm married to a beautiful woman and have 2 amazing kids and all 3 are oblivious, because I still go to work every day and function normally. If I didn't have dope though, I'd most likely be dead. At 44 years old I'm as good as dead anyways.
Quit while you can, if you haven't already reached the point of no return.

I like how you included actual Finnish dialogue here. Really added to the immersion.
This is one of my favorite yarnhub videos so far the shots of aimos face when he's hallucinating and the hallucinations are all realy well animated as are all of your videos! Thanks for bringing this great story too us!.
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. The almost 100% answer when told that because of their condition that taking the shot could kill them the freed prisoners responded that then they would die free.
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.
this comment is incomprehensible.
@@DJNaija it's pretty telling that an army squad would chase that strongly for just one or two men
@@jonstapleton2340 thought I was dumb or something
the US issued Amphetamine to combat troops; the German soldiers were issued meth, not the same drug at all, though both were uppers.
Being a former meth addict a lot of this story rang true for me. Meth is a horrible drug. Thank you for sharing this great story. Being lost and on drugs if you keep trying you can find salvation.
He took too much should just took some of tablets. Your right it’s horrible but right way it could have helped him fight. Some tablets instead entire thing
Can confirm. Never been addicted myself, but I've had a few experiences of meth mixed with amphetamine sulphate, which is fairly common here in Finland. The last time I took some was on New Year's eve 2023-24. I was running away from the police (who weren't even after me, or anyone for that matter) into a snowy forest.
10:40 I’m sorry but just the sound and the way he just flies back is hilarious
This video was awesome, I kinda lost it at 4:55 when I could hear the “Nyan Cat theme” in the background. It only made the scene so much better lmao.
At last the best story in the winter war also the animation and the voices! Keep it up!
Wow... this animation is stunning, and the narrator tells the story in a way it feels like you're actually there! Thank you for making this!
"Finnish soldiers ski at high speed through the trees" sounds like some sort of voice warm up. I heard the careful strain 😂
Also, the minuscule amount of time between "Aimo felt, energised" and "Aimo was not well" was absolutely hilarious.
Remember, drugs, never do kids
Well, this was a very interesting story about the will to live and Brown Bear playing the balalaika. Pervitin on one hand was decremental to him on the other it kept him alive.
Ah yes we see the Finnish soldier in its natural behavior and habitat they can reach speeds to Who knows what truly a amazing sight but this is no ordinary Finn it is fueled with meth which enhances its ability to dash further than the eye can see truly extraordinary no wonder the Russian’s feared such beast

@@NooberTheGooober i have my ways mortal
I have after no sleep for 7 days experienced this. No drugs no alcohol but I was seeing bugs hearing demons. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I've been shot at and rather have that happen again than go back to the horror of hallucinations and auditory torment the mind can bring upon you. Bless this man.
Good Lord. The weird "REM while awake" effect I was getting after just a couple *days* without sleep (curse you, Greyhound Bus) was bad enough. I don't want to think what a whole *week* would be like.
@@brigidtheirish it was absolutely the worst thing Ive ever gone through. The amount of absolute terror of not being able to fight back against something you cant even see. It messed me up for weeks. So super f'd up you wouldn't believe. (P.s) greyhounds sucked.
@@CProductU Totally believe it. I imagine it'd be something like a combination of my own experience with shorter periods of sleep deprivation combined with the withdrawal symptoms I've experienced when the local health system decided to eat my refill request for the medications that *keep me sane.* Only worse, because I still had enough mental control to realize what was going on and brace for mental turbulence.
And, yes, Greyhound *sucks.* Or sucked. I heard they went bankrupt or something a little while ago. *And about time.*
@@brigidtheirish I've been there man I feel for you. Had to be on anti phycotic meds after that period of no sleep. I hope you're doing better ❤️
@@CProductU Yeah. Thankfully, my sanity drugs aren't of the anti-psychotic variety, although the combination almost might as well be. They just make rational thought possible without constant interference from pinballing emotions and runaway anxiety. Still working on a few things, like *focusing.*

The UK had liquid methedrine which kept 60's London moving. 2-3 weeks without sleep was normal and brought about the expression "to crash". After a while, the government realised it was only being used by clubbers and banned it. Many switched to prescription heroin and cocaine as a result.
This is truly a perkele moment, great video as always!
