This conclusion was made by the German writer Norman Ohler, about which he told in an interview with The Guardian. In his new book, The Total Rush, the German writer provides ample evidence that the Nazis used various drugs, from cocaine to heroin, and both Adolf Hitler himself and the very last Wehrmacht fighter had this addiction.
The capture of France in 1940, says Norman Ohler, would have been impossible if the German army had not been stuffed with drugs that allowed its soldiers to fight more courageously and bravely.
In fascist Germany, according to the writer, a unique synthetic drug pervitin (methamphetamine) was developed, which, thanks to the Temmler Werke company and the connivance of Nazi leaders, mostly addicted to drugs, began to spread rapidly in German society. It was added to chocolate, confectionery, advertising them as the most high-calorie and easy to remove fatigue and stress.
Naturally, the most active user of this drug is the Nazi army. Doctors argued that pervitin was the best remedy for the exhaustion of soldiers. For this reason, the Wehrmacht fighters were given one capsule of this drug per day - as the best stimulant. This allowed the Nazis, the writer says, to take Poland so easily, and then France. True, something did not work out with Russia, but the brutality of the Nazis in the occupied territory of the USSR is explained primarily by the drug addiction of these warriors.
The author of The Total Rush tells in detail about the main drug addict of Nazi Germany - Adolf Hitler. Back in 1941, his personal physician Theodore Gilbert Morell prescribed the drug oxycodone (eukodal), which is considered not only the strongest pain reliever, but also a drug that causes intense euphoria. Soon the leader of the Nazis began to use two injections of eukodal a day, combining this considerable dose also with cocaine. In the last years of his life, according to Norman Ohler, the Fuhrer was a complete drug addict.
Therefore, all the journalistic gossip that Hitler escaped and after the Second World War lived for a long time in Argentina are nothing more than legends or specially created hoaxes. The leader of the fascists was distinguished by two extremes - he wanted to rule the whole world and was not afraid of death. And drugs helped him in this. Therefore, this utter drug addict would hardly prefer death to miserable vegetation on the outskirts of history …
