    I used to be a meth addict, it makes you extremely focused and energized to an extreme degree as well as not wanting to eat and not needing to sleep.
    If you stay on it for days however you will start to hallucinate and become extremely paranoid.
    Eventually you will fall asleep, and if you have been on for days you will sleep for at least an entire day or two+ depending how long stayed awake and if you ate and drank enough during this period.
    When you're high you don't notice...
    But when you wake up you think about how you look and how you acted... That dilated cold lifeless look in your eyes and remember acting as you never would normally.
    Stay away from this drug at all costs trust me I nearly died, you may look good, you may lose weight but you're rotting on the inside.
    Eventually you'll realize that you're going f****** nuts.
    Stay away at all costs.

    Just to clarify, the Germans used Methamphetamines, not CRYSTAL Meth. Crystal refers to the form in which the drug takes before consumption. The allies used regular amphetamines which compared to the Germans, would only keep you awake and alert for about twelve hours, after which you would crash and be able to sleep. The Germans would use METHamphetamine which is like uppers on steroids. Meth keeps you up often for days on end, in minimal doses it can keep you awake for about a day. One of the main reasons the Germans made such rapid advances and then stopped was because they would crash and need days to recover before returning to the fight

    It was definitely a major factor to their early successes, being able to fight for 3 days straight without tiring is a huge boon. However, for those who survived multiple battles it would’ve soon become part of their downfall. Their bodies would develop a tolerance, requiring more meth for the same effects, and when the military ran out withdrawal would take effect.

      @@KaoticReach1999 Alot of substances usually are only psychologically addictive, but harder stuff like meth, coke and others are physically addicting to the point that on extreme withdrawals the body and mind will shut down, and that's if you are lucky, for many the withdrawals peroid is excruciatingly slow, only just to end in death after all the pain (this is if you didnt have medical help thru it, and even then some people still cant survive it)
      Basically, think chemo but daily and mix in a bit of every bad psychological illness, and that's what the withdrawals from long term meth useage can look like, course its different for everyone and how they quit
      The other terrifying thing about meth compared to many other drugs is that is very hard to not become addicted after trying it once, some people can try coke once or twice and be fine, but thats alot hard with meth since the first high is very extreme, although you will never reach it again, no matter how hare you try. Some people can try it and avoid it, but again, its not a risk you want to take honestly

(There multiple documents and documentaries about the subject.)
      Also, most of the US technology advances during that period was reverse engineered from Germany and/or supplied by defectors.

Most of these guys are fairly young and they are extremely stressed out and look for just about any way to take the edge off that they can get, and even though there’s punishments people just try harder not to get caught.

      No... the SS were legit (indoctrinated) fanatics, willing to dismiss the rules of war, and see their enemies as literally "not human beings" so it didn't matter what you did to them. Still, the group's that we're in charge of mass executions - had very low morale and were often positions of punishment for SS soldiers who underperformed in other situations.
