A New York Times bestseller, Norman Ohler's Blitzed is a
"fascinating, engrossing, often dark history of drug use in the
Third Reich" (Washington Post). The Nazi regime preached an
ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. Yet as Norman Ohler
reveals in this gripping history, the Third Reich was saturated
with drugs: cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines,
which were consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives
to German soldiers. In fact, troops were encouraged, and in some
cases ordered, to take rations of a form of crystal meth--the
elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the
high even help to account for the breakneck invasion that sealed
the fall of France in 1940, as well as other German military
victories. Hitler himself became increasingly dependent on
injections of a cocktail of drugs--ultimately including Eukodal, a
cousin of heroin--administered by his personal doctor. Thoroughly
researched and rivetingly readable, Blitzed throws light on a
history that, until now, has remained in the shadows. "Delightfully
nuts."--The New Yorker
