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.

  • 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

    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.
  • @LeonardKat
    “But fueled by meth, he carries on.” Hands down best line.
  • @baksquare
    "come on bro the trip ain't that bad" The trip in question
  • @teymurj2966
    It must have been terrifying to be in his position, you don’t know if the things you see are real or fake
  • @msredfox
    I won't lie, those close up shots of Aimo as he's running in a drug fuelled delirium had me dying 🤣
  • @Name-gm2td
    The animators must have had field day animating this
  • @Valkonen64
    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
  • @Robbaz
    Not what I expected from a Yarnhub video, but at the same time exactly what I expected from a Yarnhub video on drugs.
  • If I had a time machine that showed events from a gods eye view, going to see this would be my first stop.
  • @wildpurple005
    Hearing him call out after his “friend” disappeared among other times was absolutely heartbreaking
  • @Badmediatrack
    I appreciate that you actually used Finnish when the guy talked
  • 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.
  • @-thanawat-8296
    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

    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.

    This is why i subscribed. No other channel has a meth fueled cross country armed ski chase 250 miles in wartime.
  • 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
  • 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.
