Description
As gripping as a thriller — the first comprehensive study of the drug problem in the Third Reich. When the Germans invaded France in 1940, Wehrmacht soldiers had thirty-five million doses of methamphetamine at their disposal. The substance — now internationally known as meth — was available in every pharmacy at the time. The drug was meant to enable the so-called blitzkrieg and became a common part of soldiers' supplies. Even the alleged abstainer Hitler often resorted to pharmaceutical stimulants. By the time he ordered the last offensive in the winter of 1944, he hadn't been clean for a single day. His personal physician Theo Morell supplied him with all kinds of medications, hormones, and hard drugs. Only in this state could the leader endure for so long. Ohler went through all the materials on the subject, spoke with eyewitnesses, military historians, and doctors. The book was co-authored by leading historian Hans Mommsen, who also wrote the afterword.
