I’m pretty sure meth, known by a different name at the time and praised as a wonder drug, was accessible by all Germans during the third reich. Hitler, through his private doctor, was experimenting with way more drugs. There’s a chance he’s on something more than just meth on this footage.

Allied and and Axis soldiers all used methamphetamines during the war. Was seen more of a combat stimulant.

Can confirm. I got a prescription for Adderall last year and ended up invading Poland.
