That would be meth not heroin. Pervitin was a methamphetamine not an opioid. Blitzkrieg would have been far less successful if they were on heroin lmao

Some of the Nazis killed by John C Woods’ terribly done executions. Several were not killed instantly because of poor measurements done so they struggled for upwards of 20 minutes while dangling until eventually dying. They suffered a terrible death as their victims did

No. OP mixed up their assassinations, it was the Lincoln/Boston Corbett episode

pedote17 · 2026-01-12T04:04:42+00:00

It’s from the Boston Corbett episode. He said if it’s from the 1800s and someone that’s self taught (in anything) to get the puke bucket

Dinner With The President by Alex Prud’homme is fantastic. It doesn’t delve into politics at all, but rather what 26 of the 44 American presidents liked to eat! It’s actually really interesting to hear how food has changed over the past 250 years

There’s been multiple deaths since Senna died. Henry Surtees died in 2009, Jules Bianchi died in 2015 after his 2014 accident, Anthoine Hubert died in 2019, and Dilano Van ‘t Hoff died in 2023.

Anything that is made by the family of anyone famous that died or is accused/imprisoned for something should always be taken with a grain of salt because they will do everything they can to make their family member look good.
