During World War II, German soldiers shocked the world with their relentless energy and strength. But this wasn’t natural—it was fueled by a drug called Pervitin, a form of methamphetamine. Distributed to Panzer units and Luftwaffe pilots, it kept soldiers awake, suppressed hunger, and heightened their alertness, making them appear unstoppable. However, prolonged use came with devastating side effects: aggression, insubordination, and severe crashes when the drug wore off. By 1941, German commanders realized the dangers and drastically cut its use. Explore this gripping and dark chapter of WWII history, where chemical dependence powered the battlefield.
