📝 Description

A non-fiction book by Norman Ohler that investigates the widespread use of drugs, particularly methamphetamine (Pervitin) and opiates (Eukodal), within Nazi Germany. The book details how the military used drugs to fuel the Blitzkrieg and explores Adolf Hitler's personal dependence on a cocktail of substances administered by his physician, Theodor Morell. Ohler's research suggests that the pharmacological state of the Nazi leadership and troops played a significant role in the early successes and eventual collapse of the Third Reich. It provides a unique perspective on the history of World War II.
