Hitler 'tested cocaine for troops'


THE Nazis developed a cocaine-based drug to boost the performance of their soldiers in combat during World War II and tested it on prisoners in 1944, according to a magazine report. "It was Hitler's last secret weapon to win a war he had already lost long ago," criminologist Wolf Kemper told Focus magazine. He is about to publish a book on the Third Reich's use of drugs called Nazis on Speed.
