High Hitler: how Nazi drug abuse steered the course of history

Post by Zorch »

"German writer Norman Ohler’s astonishing account of methamphetamine addiction in the Third Reich changes what we know about the second world war"

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/ ... -interview

Zorch Comment: I don't know how much of this book is new knowledge. The Nazi drug stuff is known but not emphasized by historians. Is the author stretching the facts? Certainly Hitler was ill-served by his doctors.

I'm not sure exactly to what extent this has been exaggerated but I do know that Adolf Hitler would never go to a nightclub without first getting completely off his t***

Fact.....

The post was meant to be rhetorical, Hitler's drug use is not of much interest to me, it's kinda getting into the weeds as far as I am concerned...
