Description

The Third Reich was a complex and multifaceted entity, but one aspect that has often been overlooked is the widespread use of drugs within its ranks. Norman Ohler's book reveals a shocking truth about the role of narcotics in Nazi Germany, from the factory floors to the highest echelons of power. Cocaine, heroin, morphine, and methamphetamines were all used by the Nazis, with methamphetamines playing a crucial role in the resilience of troops and the war effort. The use of these substances also had a profound impact on decision-making, particularly among the leadership. This book sheds new light on the events of World War II, providing a crucial missing piece of the story. By exploring the role of drugs in Nazi Germany, Ohler offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant periods in modern history.
