Well, that's not really news.
The whole world was on something at that time, we would consider unsafe by todays knowledge. Medications contained all kinds of druggy stuff and even the first Coca Cola rose up to it's name. It really contained Coca, if I'm not mistaken. Not long before the 30ies, cocaine was still legal in most countries. I'm not even sure, when legislation took care of that.
The drug awarness only started within the 50ies and 60ies.
There are a few doctors, who scientificly researched what Hitler himself popped, going by the old patient records and prescriptions of his doctor Theodor Morrell. The results were, he wasn't high on anything. The medication was in accordance with medical standards of that time. The Pervitin drug was an upper they handed to pilots and other special troops that had to be aware and awake for an extended period of time.
