@sj_zero @lain@lain.com @🌲-alist There is a book called "Blitzed." The meth was an effective secret weapon in Poland and France. Both nations expected to counterattack when the invading Nazis had to rest. But they didn't rest, they just took more meth and kept going! Apparently this worked for up to 48 hours after which the soldier would become useless.

The Americans, Japanese, and Russians also used various amphetamines, and the US military still does. There is now Provigil as an alternative. 

 This is genuinely fascinating. I'd never heard of this, and never considered it.
