Meth-fueled German / Allied soldiers

[Depth Charge]

I'm not sure of the site's copyright policies so I'll leave the link only. This is a claim I hear every now and again; that the German army was heavily reliant on amphetamine drugs.

Can we delve into this allegation further? The idea that the 'regime liberally dispensed such drugs' in order to give soldiers a crazed edge. The only sources I can find on this thus far are mainstream western sources, therefore dubious.

In spite of the ridiculously distorted nature of the comic book like article, I don't think there is any doubt that all parties in WWII, and all wars for that matter, used stimulants to keep their troops going. Not to mention pain pills, alcohol, you name it. Drug use in war is as old as war itself. Rather unsurprising really.
However, as is required in our Jewish dominated media environment, only the greatly exaggerated 'Nazis on drugs', is acceptable discussion when in fact the Allies were just as wired & doped, that information is quite easily found.

Indeed, stimulants already start with coffee and cigarettes, which are items of daily use already.
As for the harder stimulants their use is a double edged sword. Yes, it can help you once you are in action for longer than 16hours, but there is a hindsight to that as well. You got to make up for it later. You don't get a free meal by using them.


And yes, you are correct with the spotlighting policy in the media. Anything that has got a negative association will be spotlighted on "the Nazis", while the same is barely done with the Allied side. It's spindoctoring a narrative.

An ex-British paratrooper who was involved in the Battle of Arnhem told me in 1966 in Canberra that all the paratroopers in his glider were injected with benzedrine by an army doctor before they departed for battle.
He said that on arrival at the battle zone some paratroopers fell asleep .
