Although the Nazis presented themselves as enemies of moral degeneration and the decline of urban society, and their leader was established as a disciplined leader who followed a completely healthy lifestyle, the Third Reich was immersed in drugs.

Drugs such as cocaine, heroin, morphine, and especially methamphetamines, were used by both workers and housewives as well as the military, playing a decisive role in the advancement and victory of the Germans in 1940.

Norman Ohler, after extensive research in German and American archives, reveals the unbridled use of drugs even in the highest ranks, which negatively affected decision-making. A characteristic case is that of Hitler and his associates, to whom Dr. Morell administered lethal cocktails of substances.

Although drugs alone cannot justify the course of events in World War II or its outcome, the revelation of these elements changes our perception of this dark era.
