How Methamphetamine Reached the German Army in World War II

During World War II, German soldiers were widely issued Pervitin, a methamphetamine-based stimulant designed to suppress fatigue and extend combat endurance. The drug became closely associated with the rapid German offensives known as Blitzkrieg, raising difficult historical and ethical questions. Did chemical stimulation contribute to early military success? And what were the consequences for the soldiers who relied on it? In this episode of Stories from History, we explore the documented use of stimulants in the German army, the science behind Pervitin, and the broader reality of warfare in the 20th century.
