    WW II
    Amphetamines became particularly popular in World War II. Soldiers on both sides were given large amounts of amphetamines as a way of fighting fatigue and boosting morale. The British issued 72 million tablets to the armed forces. Records also show that kamikaze pilots and German panzer troops were given large doses of the drug to motivate their fighting spirit. Hitler's own medical records show that he received eight injections a day of methamphetamine, a drug known to create paranoia and unpredictable behavior when administered in large dosages.

    Gives a whole new meaning to 'The War on Drugs'
    You made that all up, eh?

    Fantastic find....

    Makes you wonder.... how all the govt-created addicts fared back in that era of unprecedented military HR guidance by psychiatrists (the same progressive do-gooders who classified homosexuality as a sociopathic disorder a few years later). It must have been a nightmare.

    And whether those skanky filterless cigs Ronald Reagan and Lee Marvin used to hawk were functionally ersatz-bennies.... .
