Hitler's Hidden Drug Habit (Morell)

Hitler went to prison in April for marching into Munich Central Square with 3000+ other Nazis. In prison, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf or My Struggle (Hook). His book was about his race and his beliefs, how the Jews and gays and mentally challenged etc. were “un-pure.” He was sentenced to 5 years but was only in Prison only 13 months. When he was released, Nazi support slumped dramatically. Hitler was banned from public speaking until he vowed his allegiance to the government. What brought him back into power was The Great Depression. Many did not know what to turn to, so they began praying to Hitler. Many people also believe that out of prison, Hitler was a drug user/addict. Although, Hitler’s prison time only delayed his support and power for a short amount of

Not only did Hitler ingest strychnine, but he also took Eukodal, which is another name for Oxycodone, for pain (Link 1). To keep track, we now have a chronic intravenous drug user, who is addicted to opioids, and slowing poisoning himself with strychnine. The image of an all powerful Hitler is fading more and more.

When he came to power, he made it very clear that Jewish apothecaries would be treated with extreme prejudice. Some pharmacy owners preemptively sold their businesses and went elsewhere so as to avoid the impending torment by the Nazis under Hitler. Certainly there is a great deal of documentation and awareness regarding the lengths to which Hitler went to exert his control and influence over integral facets of society and culture. The mistreatment of Jewish pharmacists specifically, is likely to be a little known facet of the mistreatment the Jews experienced in Europe during the Nazi reign. This information just goes to show how thorough and meticulous Hitler was with regard to control. He exerted control over the media, over education, and over drugs, as well as who was permitted to disperse them.

The Nazi German State with the influence of Nazi physicians had politicized biological causes in every aspect of life in Germany. It began by the sterilization of unfit Germans so that they would not procreate(sterilization law), it was evident in physical education to strengthen both mind and body (Mein Kampf)and took off with the medicalization of Jews. This speculation of “racial degeneracy” became “scientifically” justified in 1935 by Dr. Edgar Schulz of the Office of Racial Policy claiming in his article that Jews had higher rates of “insanity, feeblemindedness, hysteria, and suicide” than non-Jews. This was not blamed on the structure of society but rather blamed on the belief that Jews were an impure mix of Negro and Oriental” blood. These claims of racist science, would, along with medicine be used to justify the extermination of Jews (198). In other words, the classification that began with those who were inferior to the Aryan race and/or deemed unfit, feebleminded, or racially impure led to state intervention of family planning through the use of sterilization. Furthermore, Nazi physicians would blame biological causes on Jews as a form of dehumanization because they were seen as diseased, yet no one spoke up nor defended the Jews during this transition of power, leaving them vulnerable to

“The preoccupation with degeneration and hereditary physical and mental illness in my opinion played a greater role in the evolution of Hitler’s political beliefs than previously has been assumed.” Within the Hitler clan, there are multiple relatives who were diagnosed with mental disabilities and psychotic illnesses, all of whom were closely relative to Adolf himself.

One of Morell’s favorite medications to give Hitler when he needed a boast to get going, was the specially prepared Vitamultin-Calcium Forte tablets. Morell long claimed that these only contained various vitamins to help Hitler wake up and get going; however, it was discovered they contained more then just vitamins. After analyzing the ingredients it was discovered this Vitamultin-Calcium given to Hitler and Mussolini, contained Amphetamines, or Meth (Link 1).

As Hitler was going into power in Germany, he

Cocaine Hydrochloride in the early 20th century was used in many ways. Some may say that small doses were added to the drink Coca Cola, that’s where the name come from. I feel as if this is true because Coca Cola is slightly addictive. The original formula of coca cola did have 25mg of cocaine per 100ml of drink. That formula was used as a stimulant for headaches. Cocaine Hydrochloride was an ingredient in patent medicines, tonics, elixirs, and fluid extracts. With the right amount it could save and cure you but if you were given more than needed you would get addicted. Doctors knew what would happen to a patient if they were given to much therefore they created something called the Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914.

hitlerwas a complete asshole that killed loads of jews and thought it was fun to form the nazis Under Hitler 's leadership and racially motivated ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of at least 5.5 million Jews hitler shot himself and his fam,ily as britain marched on berlin After World War I, Hitler returned to Munich.[72] With no formal education or career prospects t the time of Hitler 's release from prison, politics in Germany had become less combative and the economy had improved, limiting Hitler 's opportunities for political agitation. The Great Depression provided a political opportunity for Hitler. Germans were ambivalent to the parliamentary republic, which faced strong challenges from right- and left-wing extremists. The moderate political parties were increasingly unable to stem the tide of extremism, and the German referendum of 1929 helped to elevate Nazi ideology.[120] The elections of September 1930 resulted in the break-up of a grand coalition and its replacement with a minority cabinet. Its leader, chancellor Heinrich Brüning of the Centre Party, governed through emergency decrees from President Paul von Hindenburg. Governance by decree would become the new norm and paved the way for authoritarian forms of government.[121] The NSDAP rose from obscurity to win 18.3 per cent of the vote and 107 parliamentary seats in the 1930 election, becoming the second-largest party in parliament.[122]

Explanation: This shows that he was trained to know how to kill people or how the body worked which would make him a doctor.

He tried to only use natural medicines and believed very strongly in prognosis, especially because “diagnosis was his weakest point. This is because he did not take pulses, auscultation were direct, so they may have been inaccurate due to sounds outside of the body, and he judged a fever based on a simple touch. ”(Durant 344) “He also thought that a good physician could see prognosis and automatically know the disease’s course. ”(Durant 345)

The use of amphetamines dates back to World War II when Adolf Hitler would dose his soldiers with the drug in order to keep them going all day and night with little need for nourishment or hydration. It is the reason the Nazi’s were able to take over Europe at an unbelievable rate of speed. Hitler himself would get injected with amphetamines up to 5 times a day. It is believed that his mad rants were due to his drug addiction. Japanese soldiers also used amphetamines during the Japanese war. Perhaps the reason for its appeal to soldiers in times of war were the stimulant effects to the sympathetic nervous system to increase alertness and decrease fatigue. It stimulates the adrenal gland to increase spontaneity, initiative, confidence,

Before in 1923 Hitler and others of Kampfbund tried to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany. This was known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Ruler of Germany from 1934 to1945 and leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, known as the Nazi Party were trying to take control. Hitler took advantage of Germanys economic hardships and of the citizens after world war I to get followers, then finally just taking control of the country. Hitler had a very useful skill he was a persuasive speaker and his willingness to use violence to get what he wanted. (1)

For many years he wandered around aimlessly and fantasized about his desire to become an artist. In 1907 his mother passed away and he moved to Vienna to go to art school, but he wasn’t accepted. During this time, according to the Encyclopedia of World Biography, “he first became fascinated by the immense potential of mass political manipulation...Hitler first developed the fanatical anti-Semitism and racial mythology that were to remain central to his own "ideology" and that of the Nazi party.” In the beginning, Hitler was quickly singled out as one of the most popular and profound speakers in the Nazi party along with being a very large propagandist. In 1921 the Nazi party had approximately 6,000 members. As a result of the declining economy and with the help of Hitler, the Nazi party grew to about 56,000 members by 1923. From that point on, Hitler started to become recognized more and more as a sizeable political force. Hitler's first attempt at taking over the German government was known as the “Beer Hall Putsch”. This endeavor, however, did not succeed and Hitler was tried and found guilty of acts of

Most Socialist leaders were Jews so he felt that the two had something to do with each other, which made him dislike both the Jews and Socialists. In May 1919, the German Army overthrew the Socialist Republic. Hitler being one of the people fighting, was arrested, held and accused of being a Socialist. To prove that he was not a Socialist, he agreed that he would help find Socialist soldiers to be executed. Through this experience he became a Political Officer. For this position, his main duty was to educate and lecture the soldiers on current politics. Hitler had a very large audience of people listening to him which was something completely new for him. Based on Hitler’s public speaking talent, he was asked to join a party called the German Worker’s Party by Anton Drexler. This party had Anti-Semitic views and a strong sense of German Nationalism which made it easy for Hitler to fall into the group. Shortly after joining the group, Hitler was named as the Propaganda Manager. Many people joined the group as a result of hearing Hitler’s public speeches. The GWP was later nicknamed the Nazi Party. When this nickname took place, Hitler became the new leader. Hitler took both the Nazi Party and Germany to many new levels. He became a dictator soon after gaining control of the Nazi Party. Just as before, he targeted the Jewish community. Hitler was the main person in charge of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, millions of Jewish people were
