Blitzed : drugs in Nazi Germany / Norman Ohler ; translated by Shaun Whiteside. - London : Allen Lane, 2016. - 400 pages ; 22 cm

Translated from the German.

The Nazis presented themselves as warriors against moral degeneracy. Yet, as Norman Ohler's reveals, the entire Third Reich was permeated with drugs: cocaine, heroin, morphine and, most of all, methamphetamines, or crystal meth, used by everyone from factory workers to housewives, and crucial to troops' resilience - even partly explaining German victory in 1940.
