Meth Fueled Finn

Aimo Koivonen was a soldier in the Finnish Army. During the continuation while on patrol he and his company were being tracked by the Soviets. In desperation Aimo took Pervitin. A German wonder drug to increase endurance and performance. But taking too many, he found himself abandoned by his comrades due to his erratic behavior and on a 2 week long "trip". Hallucinating and skiing all the time, he somehow managed to evade capture, despite skiing right through the middle of a Soviet camp. After 2 weeks he was eventually found weighing only 43 kilograms and with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute.

4:45 Never ever would I have imagined to see an animation of a Finn with a rainbow trail. What a time to be alive.

[msredfox]

I won't lie, those close up shots of Aimo as he's running in a drug fuelled delirium had me dying 🤣

[SanderDoesThings]

This is honestly a better anti drug ad than most other school ones
Edit: there seems to be a large amount of people defending the usage of meth below

[LeonardKat]

“But fueled by meth, he carries on.”
Hands down best line.

[teymurj]

It must have been terrifying to be in his position, you don’t know if the things you see are real or fake

[Robbaz]

Not what I expected from a Yarnhub video, but at the same time exactly what I expected from a Yarnhub video on drugs.

[-thanawat-]

Okay, I haven’t cracked up at an episode of Yarnhub before, but a Finnish soldier with a rainbow trail behind him WITH faint Nyan Cat had me craking

[baksquare]

"come on bro the trip ain't that bad"
The trip in question

[Frosty_tha_Snowman]

If I had a time machine that showed events from a gods eye view, going to see this would be my first stop.

[moblinmajorgeneral]

I don't think you could make a movie out of this man's meth trip. I don't think people would actually believe it happened.

“Meth filled Fin” is a combination of words I never thought I’d hear

[Valkonen]

Nice. Not only authentic finnish, even the Kompass is authentic.
I got the same one from my Grandfather, who served as an Officer in WW2

[atomicvortex]

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

[firenzarfrenzy]

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”

[LAG]

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.

[Name-gmtd]

The animators must have had field day animating this

[captain_commenter]

“When in doubt, *meth”*

—Aimo Koiven art of war

[markevans]

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.

[lanfrancoadreani]

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

[wildpurple]

Hearing him call out after his “friend” disappeared among other times was absolutely heartbreaking
