I've only watch three or four previously but Wellington IMHO is head and shoulders above most.

Just watched a new one about Hitler's Doctor Theodor Morell, man he really used some real bad stuff and turned Hitler into a junkie by the end.

Its a interesting angle in the terms of Hitler's medication how badly it affected his thinking and judgement. Did Morell actions result in shortening the war?

I doubt it, Hitler steadfastly refused to listen to the advice from his General Staff and the more he was doped up the worse hge was at it. Reaching the point where his Generals were afraid of his tantrums upon hearing advice of what he perceived to be of a negative nature.

INDEED, IF MORELL'S PROFESSIONAL MINISTRATIONS TO THE FÜHRER HAD ANY EFFECT, IT ACTUALLY PROLONGED OL' ADOLF'S LIFE; WHILE HITLER HIMSELF SHORTENED THE WAR.... HE WAS THE BEST THING THE ALLIES HAD FOR SHORTENING THE WAR..... https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/operation-foxley-britains-plan-kill-hitler.html
Quote:
Everything was in place, and the plan was submitted in November 1944, but not everyone was happy with it. Lt. Col. Ronald Thornley, deputy head of the SOE’s German Directorate, argued that killing Hitler was a bad idea.
Hitler’s death might give Germans an excuse to blame their failure on his demise, not on their flawed ideology. His murder may also give rise to a myth that Germany might have won if the Führer had lived. It would have been a repeat of post-WWI when Germany blamed its loss on everything but their flawed plan to take France, a mentality that led to WWII. To avoid WWIII, therefore, Hitler had to fall in battle, not from an assassin’s bullet.
More importantly, Hitler was an awful strategist. He demanded absolute and centralized control of his armed forces, believing he knew better than his generals on the field. He, therefore, hurt, not helped, Germany’s war effort. If he was gone, he might be replaced by someone who was an effective strategist.(VON MANSTEIN??!!)
And so Hitler was allowed to live because he was the best inside man the Allies had in Nazi Germany.
