National Geographic - Nazi Underworld Series 1 (2013) Part 3 Hitlers Drug and Use Revealed

Nazi Underworld: Series 1

This brand new series provides a surprising look at the world of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Each episode tackles a different mystery; from the secret missions of the Second World War, to the truth about the Nazi gold hidden in the Alps, to revealing insights about Hitler himself - was he bipolar? Did he use cocaine? Was his personal physician trying to poison him?

Part 3: Hitlers Drug Use Revealed

It’s hardly surprising that the frantic, paranoid, sweaty leader of the Third Reich might have taken cocaine. And yet, the extent of his supposed habit would shock even the most hardened storm trooper. The dictator’s medical records suggest a hopeless addict. Many were written by the Fuhrer’s very own Dr Feelgood: his personal physician, Theodor Morell. The doctor accompanied him everywhere, prescribing a dangerous cocktail of drugs. As you would expect from a coked-up Hitler, this is lurid stuff that overreaches itself. That said, it exposes yet another dark side to the dictator. High Hitler, indeed.
