Excitement

☆The first non-fiction work of German writer Norman Oler

☆The first comprehensive disclosure of the drug situation under the Nazi rule

☆A book that subverts our understanding of the Nazis and World War II

This is the first comprehensive account of the drug situation under the Nazis - including cocaine, heroin, morphine and methamphetamine. These played a vital role in restoring the morale of the Nazi army, and partly explained why Germany was invincible in the early days of the war.

According to Ohler, drugs do not explain the ideology of the Third Reich, but rather their internal chaos and problematic and confusing decision-making. It is mentioned in the book that drugs had a great influence on Hitler and his entourage. When the war was not favorable to Germany, they even adopted the more incomprehensible cocktail therapy to ease their emotions. These chemical stimulants changed our understanding of the leadership of the Nazis and their ability to judge the situation.

This book shows another side of Nazi Germany—the drug situation, and reveals the reasons for the failure of the Nazis from another side, providing readers with a more comprehensive understanding of Nazi Germany with a highly readable academic monograph.
