Blitzed Command - How Drug Addiction Destroyed the Third Reich

Callum S. Lamb

Beschreibung

They called it medicine. It was systematic addiction on an industrial scale.

In this explosive exposé, historian Callum S. Lamb unveils one of World War II's most disturbing secrets: Nazi Germany's systematic distribution of methamphetamine to millions of soldiers and civilians. From the gleaming laboratories of Temmler-Werke to the frozen battlefields of the Eastern Front, "Blitzed" reveals how an entire nation became dependent on pharmaceutical enhancement.

Drawing from declassified Wehrmacht medical records, captured corporate documents, and previously suppressed Allied intelligence files, Lamb exposes how Hitler's personal physician transformed the Führer into a drug-dependent leader making catastrophic decisions under chemical influence. Meanwhile, German housewives consumed "mother's little helpers," students popped pills to study longer, and factory workers relied on stimulants to meet impossible quotas.

The Wehrmacht's early victories weren't just tactical genius—they were fueled by 35 million Pervitin tablets distributed during the French campaign alone. German soldiers fought for days without sleep, their artificial courage masking the systematic addiction that would ultimately contribute to military collapse.

But the most shocking revelation isn't what happened—it's what came after. Allied forces discovered the evidence, then systematically suppressed it for seventy years. Corporate executives escaped prosecution. Medical professionals buried their complicity. And the lessons that could have prevented future pharmaceutical abuse were deliberately erased from history.

From Nuremberg's courtroom silence to Cold War cover-ups, from academic oversight to collective German amnesia, "Blitzed" exposes how institutional denial protected reputations while burying truth. This meticulously researched investigation reveals how a nation's chemistry experiment in human enhancement became history's most successful cover-up—and why these lessons remain dangerously relevant today.

The truth about drugs in the Third Reich will shock you. The conspiracy to hide it will terrify you.

Eight chilling stories of crime, disaster and unusual deaths from southeastern Pennsylvania.

A sequel to the first Dark History book, Murder, Madness, and Misadventure in Southeastern Pennsylvania, this book features more true tales of the region's disasters, deaths and tragedies – offering readers a window into a macabre slice of history.

From the “coffin ships” that brought desperate European immigrants to American shores, to an explosion that took the lives of nineteen people, the Greater Philadelphia area has experienced its fair share of tragedy. Learn about the catastrophic fire that took the lives of nine ballerinas, investigate gruesome cases of murder for life insurance, and ponder the possibility that a Pennsylvania businessman appeared in ghostly form on a busy street the day before he died.

Praise for Darkest History Vol. I
“..the perfect book to keep you up all night."
Philadelphia Magazine 

"Throughout the book, [Green] iterates that she is writing about history that has been largely forgotten and ignored due to its dark nature. By bringing these stories to the light again, she has given her readers a great gift...”
Broad Street Review

The Moment and Other Essays

Virginia Woolf

'The moment was all; the moment was enough.'

Published after Woolf's death by her husband, Leonard, The Moment and Other Essays offers twenty-nine short pieces of the modernist icon's stunning non-fiction, shrewdly exploring the meaning of art, literature and everyday life.

Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, 'The Moment', she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive. In other works, she paints considered portraits of writers such as Turgenev and Thoreau – an affectionate testament to their life and work. Written with her trademark style – contemplative, deeply personal and in places experimental – Woolf invites her readers to find the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.

Self-Discipline - The Controlled...

Esther Jameson

Self-discipline is the cornerstone of personal development and success. It is the ability to control one’s emotions, behaviors, and actions in the face of temptations and impulses. In a world filled with distractions and instant gratification, self-discipline becomes increasingly important. It is what allows individuals to make decisions that align with their long-term goals, even when immediate desires may try to pull them off course.
At its core, self-discipline is about the ability to focus on what is important, not just what is easy. It involves a deep understanding of personal values and the determination to act according to those values, regardless of external influences. People who possess self-discipline are able to say "no" to short-term pleasures and distractions in favor of achieving their greater objectives. Whether it’s choosing to exercise, staying on top of work deadlines, or resisting the temptation to procrastinate, self-discipline helps maintain the balance between immediate gratification and long-term success.
One of the key aspects of self-discipline is understanding that it is not an inherent trait, but rather a skill that can be developed over time. While some individuals may have a natural tendency toward discipline, anyone can cultivate this ability with practice and persistence. The first step in building self-discipline is recognizing the areas in life where improvement is needed and then committing to making changes. This often involves setting clear goals, developing strategies, and following through on commitments, even when it feels difficult or inconvenient.
