À propos de cet audio

The Nazis presented themselves as warriors against moral degeneracy. Yet, as Norman Ohler's gripping best seller reveals, the entire Third Reich was permeated with drugs: cocaine, heroin, morphine and, most of all, methamphetamines, or crystal meth, used by everyone from factory workers to housewives, and crucial to troops; resilience - even partly explaining German victory in 1940.

The promiscuous use of drugs at the very highest levels also impaired and confused decision-making, with Hitler and his entourage taking refuge in potentially lethal cocktails of stimulants administered by the physician Dr Morell as the war turned against Germany. While drugs cannot on their own explain the events of the Second World War or its outcome, Ohler shows, they change our understanding of it. Blitzed forms a crucial missing piece of the story.

An incredible look into the substance use (and abuse) of the German military in WW2, including Hitler himself.

Loved it. If you think you know a lot about WWII, this will throw a new twist on the motives of the past.

I had no idea the amount of drugs used by Hitler and his cronies during the Second World War. Great book I highly recommend it.

Great info from behind the scenes

This was a bit of an eye-opener. I had no idea that Hitler had got himself so thoroughly enslaved. The story is interesting and well researched with the exception that the author had a few hiccups in terms of physiology and toxicology. Nevertheless I found those easy to overlook in the context of the whole.

Very interesting indeed!

And history heading towards a repeat.

This was a very interesting book. Thought provoking. It is hard to imagine a more shameful and terrible legacy could be left by any human being.

Very interesting book

Very interesting story about drug use in Nazi Germany. It would be nice to have more statistics about the actual number of German civilians and soldiers using drugs.

Awesome book and narration. I highly recommend.

Very interesting and compelling study of how drug use in Nazi germany impacted the outcome of the war. A hidden side of history we definitely didn’t learn about at school...
Some of the points (particularly the downfall off Hitler) are a bit laboured, less objective, and a bit more grotesque than the story probably needed.
Overall a great listen, and recommended.

The book helps navigate a controversial topic without trying to make you feel a certain way. This is a great for people who are trying to learn without a political adgenda

A Very good story of a very bad man
