This conclusion was made by the writer of Germany Norman Oler, about which he told in an interview with The Guardian. In his new book The Total Rush German writer cites numerous evidence that the Nazis used various drugs, starting with cocaine and ending with heroin, and this addiction had both Adolf Hitler himself and the very last fighter Wehrmacht.
The capture of France in 1940, Norman Oler says, would be simple impossible if the German army had not been stuffed drugs that allowed her soldiers to fight more courageously and courageously.
In Nazi Germany, according to the writer, was developed a unique synthetic drug, pervitin (methamphetamine), which thanks to Temmler Werke and connivance in this matter Nazi leaders, mostly drug addicts, became spread quickly in German society. It was added to chocolate, confectionery, advertising them as the most high-calorie and easily removing fatigue and stress.

Naturally, the most active user of this drug becomes a Nazi army. Doctors claimed that Pervitin is the best remedy for the exhaustion of soldiers. For this reason, the fighters Wehrmacht was given one capsule of this drug per day – in as the best stimulant. This allowed the Nazis, says the writer, it’s so easy to take Poland, and then France. True, something did not work out with Russia, however, the fascists’ brutality in the occupied territory of the USSR is explained primarily drug addiction of these warriors.
The author of The Total Rush talks in detail about Adolf Hitler, the main drug addict of Nazi Germany.

IN the last years of his life, according to Norman Oler, the Fuhrer was over drug addict.
Therefore, all the journalistic gossip that Hitler escaped and after WWII he lived in Argentina for a long time, no more than legends or specially created hoaxes. Fascist leader differed in two extremes – he wanted to rule the whole world and not afraid of death. And drugs helped him in this. Therefore this a wounded addict would hardly have preferred death to a miserable stay on backyard of history …
