Footage of Nietzsche’s Final Days

Nietzsche’s final days weren’t ones that you’d wish on anyone. Some biographers speculate that he contracted syphilis, which eventually triggered his decline into madness in 1899. Two strokes followed, then pneumonia and it was all over in August, 1900. The footage below is apparently from 1899, and we’re now adding it to our YouTube Favorites, which currently has 399. Who wants to put it over 400?
