Forced March

I recently watched the 1992 series 'Unsolved Mysteries of World War II". That series struggled with how to explain questions like; Why did the Nazis allow British troops to excape at Dunkirk? Why didn't the Nazis invade Great Britian? How did the Nazis manage to invade France through Arden Forest? 'Forced March' touches on these topics for just a few seconds but with such insight that I was left thinking, "What's the Mystery. It's obvious."

But this program is really about Nazi drug use in World War Two. My comment about is to highlight the clarity of understanding presented in this program. It tries very had to overcome the preconceptions a modern viewer may have about drug use. The prevailing attitudes, physiological understanding and, indeed, the stakes were much different then. But there are lessons we can take away that are still valid today. For example, if the need is great enough heavy drug use for a short time may be worth the risk. But extended use will likely result in failure.

I found this documentary to be inovative in that there is no (voice over) narrator script. Instead, the story is told entirely by experts presenting their ideas and understanding in extended conversations. I found this more engaging than the use of experts providing sound bites as has been popular for the past thirty years or so.

Great use of an hour. Drugs are so good yummy drugs this documentary deserves more stars drugs yummy love drugs and eat og yeah 250 characters very cool Hitler was bad!!!!
