Adolf Hitler was the 'Fuhrer of drugs' - BBC News
Did you know that. Hitler was also the fueler. When it came to taking drugs my name is Normand Ola. I wrote a book called blitzed and it's about the massive use or rather abuse of drugs in Nazi Germany. Stage one is from nineteen thirty six to forty one he was basically taking vitamins and glucose when he met Morel in 1936 who quickly became his personal physician and Morel said I can give you vitamin injections and you immediately will feel amazing and you will never get a cold. Hitler thought this is my man he woke up and he rolled back the the sleeve of his pajama and Morel came in and gave him a vitamin injection and a glucose injection and Hitler had had his breakfast. Stage two started in the fall of 1941 when the war against Russia turned bad and he started to take lots of hormones and steroids and barbiturates he had high fever and diarrhea so he was quite he was quite sick. They call it the Russian flu he got for the first time he got hormone injections from from animals pig liver extracts and actually worked his his he was back in the briefing the next day and I mean today we would say these are these are doping agents stage three started in the summer of 1943 and it is when he was turning to very hard drugs in July of 43 he had a decisive meeting with Mussolini because Mussolini wanted to leave with Italy the evil axis he wanted to leave and hit that was very depressed about that and Marella on that on that day in July for the first time used a drug called boy coup de Luca doll which is an a half synthetic opiate and opiate a pharmacological of heroin you could say but with a much stronger euphoric momentum to it and after a good shot of you. CUDA you feel extremely good and this is exactly what happened to Hitler and there's reports from that meeting with Mussolini where he just didn't stop talking and was in such a euphoric mood that he easily convinced Mussolini to stay onboard. Hitler takes cocaine on over 50 occasions and not as not a soft dosage of cocaine.
I mean this is this is pure stuff that the SS are delivered. So at times he got cocaine and you kadal in in a period of a few hours which in in in drug terms would be called the speedball. He used the drugs to keep his convictions that he formed when he wasn't taking when he wasn't already on drugs he just he just left reality at a point when he read when he should have realized that is that his delusional ideas of beating the whole world where was what they were namely delusional and totally irrational and and and and not not in touch with reality at all.
