In The Art of War, Sun Tzu wrote that speed is “the essence of war.” Surely when Sun Tzu wrote that he wasn’t expecting Hitler to take it too literally. Speed, also known as amps, pep pills, uppers, and lid poppers was commercialized just in time for mass consumption during World War II by the leading industrial powers.
World War 2 was truly the greatest impetus to date for legal medically authorized as well as illicit black-market abuse of amps and similar drugs on a worldwide scale. Welcome to Nutty History and today let’s find out how pep pills controlled the tides of battles during the Second World War.

Fire the guy who did the pics
There are some, that due to their genetic make up become easily addicted, others who do not. I found this out after getting a case of rheumatoid arthritis, my immune system was trying to kill me and I was miserable. My joints were so filled with fluid, I couldn't straighten my arms or legs, fingers, etc. After seeing several medical professionals, someone decided I should see a pain management doctor. He agreed to help me, but first he ordered a blood test, which included genetics. This test revealed that I was unlikely to become addicted due to my German, Austrian and Swiss forebears. 3 generations behind me was a person of English, Irish, and Scottish descent and apparently they are quick to become addicted, according to this doctor. Luckily, I inherited only a small amount of his genetic make up and it didn't prevent me from getting treatment.
"We the superior race" – Cracked out Nazi 🤣
The Fall of the Roman Empire and Sabean (Yemeni) Spices is no different from the diminishing speed of the Germans.
Lol i love how he uses fifteen different slang terms for meth
I was a solid dopehead in the 80s. Either coke or meth. In times of complete peace BOTH were a nightmare. I can't imagine being strung out and a soldier.
Funny how pompous people become after reading "the art of war" like really? Are you prepared to lead an army through war now?
I wonder if any of the soldiers had the sudden urge to rip all the copper out of the walls lol
Het zelfde als vandaag maar veel goedkoper
Pervitin? That's the perfect name for that shit.
4:07 Fluffle Puff!
I used to play video games on these pills called Vyvanse and they made me one of the best players
nice thumbnail pic lol.
Please don't say Holland, our country is called The Netherlands
Am I insane or does this guy sound like the teacher from fallout 3 who gave the test
I want to try Pervatin
Black Beauties?
LSD was given to soldiers during exersizes. But all it made them do was tell their CO's to piss off.

Ha! I noticed the "zee germans" from the movie snatch at: 00:51
There was cocaine before no ? I guess they all would have been under cocaine's effects
Yep and NO BLACK FIGHTERS
My dad was a meth head and he said the government put it in his pillow so he'll be more awake to fight the Russians
All wars prior to the middle east our soldiers could get high af all the time. Meanwhile we've spent over 20 years in the middle east and get 45/45, demotion and half pay for a blunt.
Always wandering how can humans massacre humans this much in battlefield – specially in (WW-II) – now here is the answer of them being numb and following orders of their superiors.
Soo this is how we got Nazi Zombies.. got it lol
Cool vid but you're not funny
The way you say drug makes it sound coo.
Imagine coming down off meth in the middle of a battlefield…
Anyone interested in the illicit drug scene during WWII back here in the US should read William S Burroughs. Such an unseen part of history, so much has been forgotten or only passed down via word of mouth from addict to addict, because it isn't the type of thing anyone thinks to write down.
