Would you have these eyewitness accounts by link?
Regrading your last statment, the drug may be used for the two purposes? Feeling invincible /more aggressive and staying awake for long periods of time.
No, No links on these, this information was not found on the internet. They are from statements of captured Canadian POWs who lived to tell the tale. These statements can be found in the British National Archives and probably other archives in the different allied countries I presume. Two accounts as follows but there are others I've seen which describe German troops as 'Hollering' and 'excitable' leading their captives assuming they were drugged.
Frederick Ragnar Halverson - Royal Winnipeg Rifles

The troops that cut us and captured us were SS and Paratroopers. A lot of them were just kids and appeared to be doped’ (WO309/1172- 225. Source: BNA)
Cpl Le Bar- Canadian RWF
‘I always felt the SS troops were acting in a very queer inhuman way and certainly in battle like mad men, not shirking to advance into direct fire. I thought many times that they may have been doped as their eyes were always dilated’ (TS26/856-187-Source: BNA)
Can you explain your last comment, you have repeated what I've written but I'm not sure if you are asking me something here?
'D.T' - Thank you for the links.
