Turning Men Into Monsters - WW2 and Beyond

War on drugs? Try drugs in war - specifically meth. We're not just talking about a few isolated incidents; this is a deep dive into the widespread use of narcotics in warfare.

________

Let's cut straight to why you’re here and talk about the Germans' use of Pervitin and Panzerchokolade during World War II.

As mentioned previously, they were methamphetamine-based drugs, designed to push soldiers beyond human limits.

Imagine the following: soldiers marching for days without sleep, heightened alertness, and a relentless drive.

This was the reality on the ground, especially during key moments like the Battle of France.

Now, Pervitin wasn't a secret weapon hidden in the shadows; it was distributed openly, almost like standard rations.

The idea was to reduce fatigue, and enhance endurance, and create super soldiers capable of executing blitzkrieg tactics with ruthless efficiency.

But here's where it gets interesting. The Germans weren't alone in this - The Allies had their own version, Benzedrine.

So, you had two sides, both using stimulants, but with different drugs of choice. This wasn't a case of one-upmanship but of strategic necessity, born out of the demands of modern warfare.
