Hitler, methamphetamine addiction?
Hitler, methamphetamine addiction?
I have heard and read many times that Adolf Hitler was a methamphetamine addict, and was given a daily injection of Meth along with a plethora of other drugs.
I have never seen this claim backed up by a reliable source, which brings to post this question here.
does anyone know if this is true, and has a reliable source to validate this?
thankyou for your time.

Daniel, I dare to doubt your claims.
The book above gave a good example of how Hitler was slowly becoming more and more dependant on drugs; take a cold for an example - one has to get over the cold if he gets it, but Hitler's doctors would give him injections of god-knows-what and he would feel better. Now, if you do that every time your imune system would have to collapse and stop working as it should, since there is no need for it anymore - the drugs would replace it completely.
Take this example, his strange biorythm, long hours of work and the constant strain...I see no reason why we couldn't say that he was using amphetamines (it is a possibility that he didn't even know that he was given some).
just my two cents...
best,
Miha / Nibelung

The simple fact that you "dare" to doubt my claim and didn't shoot at my claim with a panzerfaust or a panzerschreck made my day, NibelungNibelung wrote:Daniel, I dare to doubt your claims
What I meant is that whatever one may prove re. Hitler addiction to something, whatever it was, had strictly no influence on the outcome: He was in full command till the last day.
With the help of his two associates till the last day, whatever legend may come out about them, i.e. Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goering, the later being also an addict to something.
Full command.
Till the end.
That one, don't dare, I have sources
Regards
Daniel

Have a good day sir,

That's an interesting question: Would any type of drugs had impaired the sanity of Hitler judgment.
My own personal opinion being that Hitler was somehow insane since the 20's, I don't think so.
Clever, organised, focused, master in men manipulation, guru in political marketing but somehow somewhere sort of insane since day one.
