Nazis on speed

Rather than serve up some random social commentary on Kanye West, today we take a sideways look at amphetamine, a brief history of where it came from, how widely available it was in the 1920s, and how it ended up being used as the backbone of the blitzkrieg and a major instrument in warfare. Our shifting relationship socially and culturally to drugs and the big question, were the nazis on speed? http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
