Just heard in the podcast 'Streitkräfte und Strategien', that the use of meth in the Wehrmacht is overblown today. while it was used, they figured out fast that it had negativ effects longterm.
Heaviest use was early in the war - with 35 million tablets distributed in the Battle for France - but heavy usage continued thereafter, with some 9 million tablets of meth being produced yearly, and experiments with 'superdrug' combinations of cocaine, meth, and oxy enduring into the very end months of the war.
