World War Two
Published 3 May 2022We’ve heard how German forces are fuelled by stimulants like Pervitin. But are the Allies doing the same thing? Of course! Their drug of choice is Benzedrine. It’s in use as the RAF bomb German cities, as Monty’s tanks push Rommel back, and as US Marines take the fight to the Japanese.

Join the TimeGhost Army: https://bit.ly/SPECIAL_088_PIAmphetamines are still being used by armed forces in the present day. In fact, it’s a “normal” part of war — from paramilitaries and rebels to the armed forces of superpowers.
