177: Meth, Pervitin, Benzedrine, and Secret Nazi Speedball Drugs

from The Dr. Junkie Show · host Ben Boyce

This week I discuss the secret drugs developed in Nazi Germany during WWII, and I cover the role of methamphetamine in the Nazi Blitzkrieg attacks, the role of amphetamine in the Allies ability to eventually win the war, and I also cover Hitler's drug addiction, technologies of war, social stigma and how easy it can be disassembled in times of war, and lots more.
