An absolutely fascinating look at the incredibly screwed-up history of drug use in Nazi Germany. Hitler receiving daily injections of cocaine and animal hormones, methed-up child soldiers piloting suicide submarines… Ohler doesn’t quite land the transition from novels to non-fiction, and the English translation needs some work, but Blitzed was a wild ride from start to finish.
