Episode 12: Imperialism

Episode 11: Nazi Drugs

What fueled the Nazi war machine of WWII? Was it radical nationalism? Antisemitism? Hatred? More like a cocktail of cocaine and amphetamines. Find out about the drugged state of the Third Reich and how the Nazi total war led to mass consumption of a newly invented drug called methamphetamine. My main source for this episode was an amazing book called Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich by Norman Ohler.
