Summary

The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. But as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping new history, the Third Reich was saturated with drugs. On the eve of World War II, Germany was a pharmaceutical powerhouse, and companies such as Merck and Bayer cooked up cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines, to be consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to millions of German soldiers. In fact, troops regularly took rations of a form of crystal meth-the elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the high even help to explain certain German military victories.

Took a fascinating aspect from history and presented some unsupported statements. I wouldn't suggest it.

I had mixed feelings about the book overall. However, I couldn't help but question its credibility at times, as there were instances of propaganda scattered throughout the text. Right from the opening sentence, there was an odd attempt to draw a connection between Nazism and socialism, which seemed unrelated to the main focus of the book - drugs in the Third Reich. It made me wonder if any of the information presented could be trusted, considering such a misleading takeaway.

If you had to describe Blitzed in just three words, what would they be?
