How did methamphetamines fuel the Blitzkrieg and shape World War II? Join us as we uncover the startling revelations from Norman Ohler, author of "Blitzed," fresh from his impactful appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. Norman provides a fascinating exploration of the German military's extensive use of Pervitin, a methamphetamine, during their rapid and aggressive campaigns. We contrast this with the outdated French strategies and their reliance on red wine, painting a vivid picture of how stimulants altered the course of warfare.

Dive deeper into the widespread adoption of stimulants across various military forces. Listen to gripping anecdotes about the British endorsement of amphetamines by Churchill and the ongoing use of legal stimulants in modern special units. We discuss the critical balance between substance-induced performance and the essential need for rest and recovery, shedding light on the long-term impacts these practices have on soldiers' health and effectiveness.

Finally, discover the darker side of the Nazi regime's drug culture. We explore Hitler's dependency on various drugs administered by Dr. Theodor Morell and the pervasive use of stimulants within the Luftwaffe and Navy. Norman's insights from his recent visit to Granch Village offer new perspectives on Blitzkrieg strategies and the OODA loop, enriching our understanding of military history. This episode is a compelling blend of historical analysis, military strategy, and the human cost of war, promising to leave you both informed and intrigued.
