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.

German History - Significant...

Kelly Mass

This book consists of 5 topics related to German history, which are the following:
Clausewitz - Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist, remains one of the most influential figures in the study of warfare. Born in 1780 in Prussia, Clausewitz entered the military at a young age, where he quickly distinguished himself as a talented strategist and thinker.
Kaiser Wilhelm II - Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruled from June 15, 1888, until his abdication on November 9, 1918, marking the end of the German Empire. His reign was tumultuous, characterized by grand ambitions and disastrous decisions that not only reshaped Germany but also contributed to the broader context of global conflict.
Prussia - Prussia, once a powerful and influential German state, traces its origins back to 1525, when it began as a duchy focused on the region near the southeast coast of the Baltic Sea. Over the centuries, it would grow to play a pivotal role in European history, especially through its military and political influence.
The Berlin Wall - From 1961 until 1989, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark symbol of division, not only physically separating the city of Berlin but also representing the broader ideological rift between the East and the West during the Cold War. On August 13, 1961, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), or East Germany, began constructing this formidable barrier.
Visigoths - The Visigoths were a significant Germanic people whose influence shaped the course of European history during late antiquity, a period commonly known as the Migration Period. Along with their eastern counterparts, the Ostrogoths, they were among the most powerful and notable Gothic factions within the Roman Empire during its decline.

The Cost of "Non-Maghreb" -...

Aldo Liga

Over the last decades, rivalries, bilateral disagreements, and distrust between Maghreb states have taken a toll on common political and security challenges, like the Western Sahara issue, the Libyan conflict, the destabilisation in the Sahel region and transnational clandestine flows. Moreover, the Maghreb is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world, and this leads to the region's loss in growth, and the disheartening record of missed opportunities for stability and prosperity. This is the cost of the "non-Maghreb".
This Report aims to unpack the political and economic costs of the "non-Maghreb", understand its historical genesis and geopolitical implications and, more broadly, what the future might hold for individual countries and the Maghreb as a divided, fractious but potentially coherent whole.
