The bliztkrieg was successful because meth kept them awake for days so they could plow through without rest. These soldiers were meth heads. [/quote] Not all of them dipshit Only the “SUPER SOLDERS” [/quote] Meth doesn't make you superanything. Only super sloppy. The Wehrmacht never struck me as sloppy. [/quote] Look up Pervitin. The idea is if you can keep soldiers awake and alert for long critical periods combat performance would be improved. What makes people sloppy is that meth makes it so you can keep going without sleep... but the human brain can't do that. Without down periods of sleep people become very sloppy and can become delusional and less able to deal with stress. [/quote] The Nazis, like every nation in that conflict, studied and experimented with meth on a limited scale. There is no evidence they or any other nation for that matter gave it to troops en masse. That would have been extremely stupid, given what meth actually does to a person's brain. It doesn't make you a better solider, this is simply a myth. [/quote] C'mon, we all know the squareheads were taking Pervitin and later mixed it with cocaine. That's a well known FACT. [/quote]
