Summary:
"The Nazis presented themselves as warriors against moral degeneracy. Yet, as Norman Ohler's gripping bestseller reveals, the entire Third Reich was permeated with
drugs
: cocaine, heroin, morphine and, most of all, methamphetamines, or crystal meth, used by everyone from factory workers to housewives, and crucial to troops' resilience - even partly explaining German victory in 1940. The promiscuous use of
drugs
at the very highest levels also impaired and confused decision-making, with Hitler and his entourage taking refuge in potentially lethal cocktails of stimulants administered by the physician Dr Morell as the war turned against
Germany
. While
drugs
cannot on their own explain the events of the Second World War or its outcome, Ohler shows, they change our understanding of it.
Blitzed
forms a crucial missing piece of the story."--Book jacket.
