Summary of Norman Ohler's Blitzed

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Nazi Germany was also responsible for the popularization of methamphetamine, which is now either illegal or strictly regulated. It is a highly addictive substance that banishes both sleep and hunger while promising euphoria.

#2 I traveled to the Berlin suburb of Adlershof, where the Temmler factory was located. The grounds were overgrown with weeds, and the building was abandoned. I entered the building and found a dark hallway with flaking green paint and broken lead-framed industrial windows.

#3 The former laboratory of Dr. Fritz Hauschild, head of pharmacology at Temmler from 1937 until 1941, was the site of methamphetamine production.

#4 The development of modern societies is bound as tightly with the distribution of drugs as it is with advances in technology. In 1805 Goethe wrote Faust in classicist Weimar, and by poetic means perfected one of his theses, that the genesis of man is itself drug-induced.
