  • From 1936, Hitler's personal physician Dr Theodor Morell remained at his side, handing out dubious treatments, up to 8 different medications daily, including one containing strychnine. Did Morell try to poison his employer? Was Hitler well enough to lead Germany? American psychologist Nassir Ghaemi has doubts. We give an exclusive and surprising insight into a previously unknown side of Hitler.

    Amphetamines were also used by allies and cocaine was legal. He wasn't sexually diseased and had 2 balls. He did enough without making stuff up about him. I wonder did he have PTSD (in addition to his narcissism?) Why is that never suggested? Seems quite likely.

    I attended a birthday party in 1969 and was given an orange drink. After an hour my behavior changed and I became excited and hyperactive. My host later told me he had put methamphetamine in the beverage. For 10 hours I was very high. Then the drug started to wear off and I became extremely depressed. It was an awful experience and I never forgave the host. I don't know how anyone can take meth given the after-effects.

    May be we should all be thankful to his doctor

    He obviously had Parkinson disease, at that time amphetamine was probably the only available substance to alleviate the symptoms.

    He was out of his mind and ran his army into the ground, history repeats itself

    It is quite curious that the Nazis were anti-drug but many of the top brass took it

    Let's be honest, most surgeons still consider physicians to be mere 'pill-pushers'.

    My great grandfather was shell-shocked in WW1. I never met him, he was placed in an asylum. Other family members would visit him but I was under 5.

    I never understood how people could become addicted to drugs until I was treated with intravenous steroids for several months. I felt on top of the world- full of energy and enthusiasm- and only needed 3-4 hours of sleep (which was all I COULD sleep). The first week of treatment was done in a hospital for safety reasons and then they sent me home with an IV in my hand and a bunch of vials. It was the most pleasant hospital stay of my life.

    There's a Morell to this story.

    Doesn't really matter. Last I'd heard, he was still dead.

    EKG’s don’t check blood pressures (at least I’ve never seen them). He demanded that Germans be alcohol and nicotine free and drug free yet he took a ton of harmful drugs himself. How ironic.

    Amphetamines were considered miracle drugs.....a high with no ( known ) down side

    honestly, with that much dope flowing through his system, how could he NOT have been sick?
