(1939-1941) -- High Hitler : Patient A and his personal physician (1941-1944) -- The wonder drug (1944-1945.) 520 $a The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. Yet as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping new 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. 541 $d 20180523. 600 1 $a Hitler, Adolf $d 1889-1945 $x Drug use. 650 $a Pharmaceutical industry $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a Drugs $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Germany. 650 $a Soldiers $x History $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a Nazis $x Drug use. 700 $a Whiteside, Shaun, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010655.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008010752.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20180731022300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EB6AC66948711E88249AF2997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
