A new TV documentary recently revealed that Adolf Hitler had a secret addiction to the drug crystal "methamphetamine."

The Nazi dictator took the drug, nicknamed "ice" or "glass", which causes paranoia and heart problems, the Daily Star reported.

A new Channel 4 show would reveal how American military put together a 47-page report about Hitler, which stated that he was a hypchondriac and took 74 different medications.

Hitler was believed to have taken the drug before an infamous meeting with Italy's leader Benito Mussolini in 1943, when he ranted at his fellow dictator for two hours without stopping.

The pill containing crystal meth was called Pervitin and was prescribed by his doctor, Dr Theodor Morell.

 

However, the programme would also dispel a myth about Hitler only having one testicle.
