About this product

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.

  • 'Blitzed' is a mind blowing read.

    Great untold story backed by authentic research and experience. Very interesting subject, the widespread use of amphetamines in the Nazi war machine and Hitlers own crazy drug cocktails courtesy of his personal doctor. No wonder they lost the war. Definitely several good dinner stories in this one. I bought copies for my friends as Christmas presents.
