This two-hour special explores the origin, impact, and lasting effects of the state-sponsored drug use that helped buildand eventually burnedthe Third Reich.

-----------------------------------------
'Pervitin," meth amphetamine pills in Germany were given to troops and fueled the Blitz. Aka Benzedrine, or 'pep pills' in the US.
'Eukodal' (aka Oxycodone) injections were given by Dr. Morell to Hitler who liked the euphoric effect of the drug.
'Kokain' (cocaine) spray was given to Hitler for throat problems. He used it during the day & liked the 'clarity' it gave him.
Dr. Morell, Hitler's personal physician for 6 years.

Hitler didn't smoke or drink or do drugs, well he did do drugs later on to keep his energy up.
I turned it off when they used the fucking traitor Lindsey Graham to do some of the narration.
