In 4 months they'll be indiscriminately issuing amphetamine stims to service members. I mean, it worked for the SS. Probably. At least for a little while. Actually, I have no idea, but it seems like something Keitel and Goering would be all about to claim they had a chemical edge over all the subhumans occupying their lebensraum.
Those stims were amphetamines, and they were given to soldiers to be prepared for those Blitzes. It also stunted their humanity and made them literal monsters.
Pervitin was actually methamphetamine!
Ah, short for pervert vitamin. Makes more sense now.
It's true tho - ex meth addict
The US military never stopped using amphetamines. Honestly, the list of militaries that don't use the stuff is probably shorter then the list that does. The job isn't exactly conducive to their health in the first place.
I remember an uproar about this topic in the 90's, but it never stopped. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240314-the-drug-pilots-take-to-stay-awake
