'Hitler was a drug addict whose veins had collapsed'
German Dictator Adolf Hitler was a drug addict whose veins were destroyed by thousands of opiate injections, according to the book 'Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany' by award-winning German author Norman Ohler. The author claimed that Hitler began doing drugs after the assassination attempt on him in 1944 which shattered his eardrums and turned him into a 'nervous wreck'.
