Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany by Norman Ohler
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.0
Fascinating but occasionally difficult to read due to a lot of different hormones and drug injections being listed. I got slightly bogged down in the details sometimes. And the structure was a bit hard sometimes; I'm not sure if that was a translation issue or a me issue (probably the latter, I thought the translation was overall pretty great). Disturbing and honestly very weird, but incredibly informative. And due to the subject matter, less discussions of antisemitism than I was expecting.
Graphic: War, Medical content, Medical trauma, Drug use, and Drug abuse
Moderate: Gaslighting
Minor: Torture, Antisemitism, Suicide, and Religious bigotry
