Nazi Meth And How German Army Fought WWII On Speed

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Methamphetamine is a serious, lethal drug which can be found on any street corner today. It is also know as “street meth”.

Often, it is developed in home-made labs, which consist of highly poisonous ingredients that warped into pill, powder or liquid form.

One could credibly make the argument that this type of drug has the highest potential for addiction, has had the most deadly impact on chronic drug users and has been the most “soul robbing” drug out there today.

We have seen thousands of “before and after” pictures of people who have succumbed to the deadly chronic phase of the addiction.

The pictures of people are disturbing to say the very least. “Meth mouth”, open sore faces, and the look of death is all to common in meth addicts today.

If this is how they look on the outside, we can only imagine the internal destruction and breakdown they are experiencing on the inside.

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug, whether injected, snorted or smoked, that affects the brain and central nervous system. Methamphetamine increases levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.

 

 

Use of Meth amongst Nazi Soldiers

 

Apparently, the German government thought this drug could be of some “positive” use for the Nazi soldiers during World War II.

In 2005, a report surfaced by Der Spiegel, a war writer, implying that the soldiers in combat were pumped daily with this drug, often intravenously.

Could this explain the vile and sadistic acts that were carried out by this military? Some would have a fairly convincing argument to support such a claim.

The effects of this drug are often known to be all consuming. People today, who had vibrant lives, successful careers, loving families, are selling their bodies on the streets to maintain their habit, often without remorse.

This proves how powerful and mind-altering the drug is. I have a gut feeling that the German government knew exactly what they were doing as they distributed this drug to their troops.

Many claim that Hilter himself was a serious crystal meth addict and was using the drug heavily for the last two years of his life. He apparently injected the drug up until his suicide.

The use of this highly addictive drug did not go without side effects. Soldiers were becoming heavily addicted and were showing signs of severe dependence.

Some had even committed suicide during a psychotic episode, likely brought on by the chronic use of this drug.

Long-term use of methamphetamines in any form will result in psychosis, delusions, insomnia, mood disturbances, violent behavior and severe paranoia. These symptoms appear relatively quickly and will only become worse as the disease of addiction progresses.

 

Hitler’s Drugged Troops

 

Letters home from the troops to their families started to cause some alarm.

A recent article in “The Huffington Post” talks about how one soldier went from letters of loneliness and missing his family to letters consumed with attempts to obtain the drug.

On November 9, 1939, while Böll was in Poland, he wrote to his parents:

“It’s tough out here, and I hope you’ll understand if I’m only able to write to you once every two to four days soon. Today I’m writing you mainly to ask for some Pervitin… Love, Hein.”

Pervitin was also a known name for crystal meth.

“As he became, by his own admission, ‘cold and apathetic, completely without interests’, he asked for more and more of the speed-like drug.”

This was only one example of how the use of this drug was becoming a serious problem in the military. Medical authorities say the downside of the plan to distribute the drug was that many soldiers became helplessly addicted to drugs and were of no use in any theater of war anymore.

As time went on, more and more soldiers were facing the reality of the situation. The inevitable outcome of the use of methamphetamines was now rearing its ugly face. Attempts by medical professionals and the government to limit the use, had only failed.

Today, Germany has one of the highest rates of addiction to these type of drugs. The popularity continues to grow; the recovery rate for people addicted to these drugs is fairly low.

The availability so high, the production of similar drugs by people who sell on the black market and the decrease in rehabilitation centers are all significant barriers for a sustained sobriety.

Were the soldiers manipulated into believing these were miracle drugs? How much did the use of these drugs have an impact on the rising drug use today? Are we seeing the same type of misuse of drugs in the Irag/Afghanistan wars?

We are now seeing an alarming rate of troops coming back, highly addicted to narcotics. In any case, the government should be held responsible for the long-term effects of the use of any highly lethal substance.
