Opis

An account of the overwhelming role of drug-taking in the Third Reich -from Hitler and his entourage to ordinary troops. In this highly original book, a bestseller in Germany, Norman Ohler shows how the entire Nazi regime was permeated with drugs. This chemical euphoria changes how we should think about the Nazi high command and its ability to understand the situation it found itself in by 1944-5.
