Description: Blitzed by Norman Ohler, Shaun Whiteside Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The sensational account of the overwhelming role of drug-taking in the Third Reich - from Hitler and his entourage to ordinary troopsThe Nazis styled themselves as warriors against moral degeneracy. Yet, as Norman Ohlers gripping bestseller 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. Blitzed forms a crucial missing piece of the story of WW2. Author Biography Norman Ohler was born in Zweibr cken in 1970.
