Old news. Germans invented crystal meth and many in the Blitzkreiging armies became hooked on meth.
Pervitin, I believe it was called.
Exactly. It’s not exactly new news. It’s well documented.
It was all part of the “Nazi Super-Soldier” program. Nazi scientists claimed it boosted alertness and endurance.
‘D-Day Through German Eyes’ volumes 1&2 has stories about landsers and SS receiving from their medics combo morphine/amphetamine tablets. The Germans say the combination made it possible to handle wounds and exhaustion. Of course when they crashed they needed more.
It might be a reason the SS 1st panzer division and the youngsters, some 16-18 were such ruthless little ****s. The Canadians would run over their bodies with tanks to make sure they didn’t jump with panzerfausts or magnetic mines.
Others claim that the Japanese invented crystal meth and fed it to the kamikaze pilots.
Meth Kamph ?
how do we know all this is true?.....decades later a book is written and we’re supposed to believe it?
Yes. The tricky point of the analysis is to track Hitler's deterioration over time. He was apparently a frequent drug user by the mid-1930's, and his dependency grew rapidly under the stresses of the war. He was a basket case by the end.
Thought it was massive doses of amphetamines from his doctor.
