The article makes it seem like there&#x27;s a lot of news, when in fact most of what we can learn from the article about drugs in the Third Reich has already been published in the 2002 title &quot;Nazis On Speed. Drogen im Dritten Reich.&quot; -- two volumes with a wealth of information, of which she makes zero mentions in the article.<p>I distantly remember attending a book reading and discussion about above book in 2003 with Werner Pieper, Friedrich Kittler and others providing a good overview, a lot of serious points and some fun facts.<p>For instance, at some point, in Paris under German occupation, Pervitin pills were a legitimate currency in Paris brothels.<p>It can also be shown that there was an unusually high amount of animal studies performed all over the country, testing the effects of Pervitin on all kinds of species and sub-species, that don&#x27;t seem to make much sense academically, but did provide steady Pervitin supplies for the research team.
