 Nazi drug use wasn’t just “a detail”, it shaped Blitzkrieg speed, soldier psychology, Hitler’s inner circle and the Fuhrer himself.Nazi drug use shaped WWII in ways most people still don’t realize, and Norman Ohler, bestselling author of Blitzed and Tripped, joins me to expose how Pervitin, opioids, and ideology collided inside the Third Reich to create a regime, strategy (Blitzkrieg) and war never seen before in history.What part of Nazi drug use do you think most changes how people understand WWII? Pervitin on the front lines, or Hitler’s dependency behind closed doors?You’ll learn:-How Pervitin (methamphetamine) went from legal pharmacy product to a wartime performance tool.-Why “mainstream” WWII history often sidelined drugs as a serious factor in power, strategy, and behavior.-The story behind Germany’s stimulant pipeline and why sleep was framed as “the number one enemy of a soldier.”-What “35 million dosages” tells us about scale, normalization, and the machinery of war.-How Pervitin changed fear, motivation, empathy, and decision-making for soldiers in combat.-Hitler’s medical descent with Dr. Morell: from “vitamins” to opioids, and later even cocaine as a legal product at the time.-The darker edge: drug testing and experimentation connected to concentration camps, including “truth drug” research.-A wider drug lens: psychedelics’ historical role, why the Nazi era “was not really a psychedelic time,” and what Ohler is exploring now.00:00 Unveiling the Hidden Drug Secrets of WWII01:01 Inspiration Behind the Book03:20 The Rise of Pervitin in Nazi Germany06:39 Methamphetamine’s Role in the Blitzkrieg08:30 The Ethical Dilemma of Drug Use in War10:01 The Impact of Meth on Soldiers24:51 Hitler’s Descent into Drug Dependency31:01 The Nazis and Psychedelics32:36 Psychedelics in WWII: Limited Use and Rediscovery34:10 Nazi Experiments: Miracle Drugs and Submarine Missions37:16 Concentration Camp Atrocities: Beyond Drugs38:55 Human Nature and Atrocities: A Broader Perspective43:09 Psychedelics and Egalitarian Societies in History52:22 Iboga: The Potent African Plant55:08 Advice on Psychedelics and Personal Reflections57:38 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsNorman Ohler – Stone(d) Sapiens Substack:The Norman Ohler Dopecast & Substackhttps://stonedsapiens.substack.com/podcastBlitzed (Penguin UK):https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/294543/blitzed-by-ohler-norman/9780141983165Tripped (Atlantic Books UK):https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/tripped/Jacob’s WorkFREE Podcast Tips (2nd Channel): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUp5S7ZIZtjA8PMgXJMwppAPodcast blueprint (Skool): https://www.skool.com/remote-pro-podcast-blueprint-8385YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacobjwatsonhowlandSpotify: Apple Podcasts: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobwatsonhowlandX: https://x.com/jwatsonhowlandLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/watsonhowlandWebsite: https://www.jacobjwatsonhowland.comTeamChief Editor: Chloe BreheretChief Automation Officer: Jack McDuffBEST QUOTES“Sleep is… the number one enemy of a soldier.”“35 million dosages… made their way into the German army and air force.”“You don’t have so much empathy… you actually do become… the functioning robot soldier.”“Don’t lie… Don’t lie to yourself.
