Product Information
The sensational account of the overwhelming role of drug-taking in the Third Reich - from Hitler and his entourage to ordinary troops The Nazis styled themselves as warriors against moral degeneracy. Yet, as Norman Ohler's gripping bestseller reveals, the entire Third Reich was permeated with drugs- cocaine, heroin, morphine and, most of all, methamphetamines, or crystal meth, used by everyone from factory workers to housewives, and crucial to troops' resilience - even partly explaining German victory in 1940. The promiscuous use of drugs at the very highest levels also impaired and confused decision-making, with Hitler and his entourage taking refuge in potentially lethal cocktails of stimulants administered by the physician Dr Morell as the war turned against Germany. Blitzed forms a crucial missing piece of the story of WW2.Product Identifiers

Very accurate
A brilliant book. Explains how following the 1936 Olympics, Hitler was furious that his elite athletes had been beaten in most events so asked his scientists to produce some performance enhancing drugs (it was legal in those days) and they came up with Chrystal Meth! The early invasion of France was by troops using the drug who surprised the French with their ferocity. Then goes on to show how a lot of the troops and then Generals & Hitler himself came to rely on drugs of some description. A great read and full of factual information.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
