The Nazis were crack addicts!

It's been known for a while that Hitler and the Nazis used amphetamines and that those drugs were likely strong contributors to why the Blitzkrieg was so powerful.

Where do you get that from? Yes, soldiers were on amphetamins because they had to stay awake and alert for a very long time. But the Blitzkrieg was mainly a result of a whole new tactic. Combining armored units, infantery and air force into one strike force was an entirely new concept the allies couldn't cope with at the start of the war. That's the lesson the German strategists, mainly people like Guderian, took from WWI. There are also small logistic details involved that contributed a lot to the initial success. Such as the German tanks being fueled up on the fly or that the german armored units were fully equipped with radios whereas the French still used flag signals.
