Germany was a pharmaceutical giant in the early 20th century, leading them to discover, now notorious, drugs like meth and Vicodin. Society at the time didn’t know the effects so everyone was taking them. Seriously, every German in society was popping meth and cocaine for little things like a headache.

Anyways this book details how hard drugs not only took a role but was CENTRAL to the German war machine. And in later years, how dependent hitler was on every drug imaginable.
