A new documentary has indicated that Adolf Hitler consumed a cocktail of different drugs including tranquillisers, morphine and crystal meth during the Second World War.
The hard-hitting documentary analysed Hitler's declassified documents and suggested that behind closed doors the German politician was a nervous wreck, News.com.au reported.
Professor Sir Richard Evans from Cambridge University said that Hitler's personal physician, Dr Theodore Morell showed no genuine interest in politics and was not a suitable person to be in the entourage of Hitler because he was simply not ideological.
According to the documentary, when Morell started treating Hitler for stress, he used a method derived from the ancient world in which he applied leeches to the leader's temples and with the leeches failing to show any long term success, he started medicating Hitler with the same drugs used by vets to put animals to sleep.
The documentary narrator asserted that Hitler, like many of the Germans used an early form of crystal meth called Pervitin.
The documentary will replay on 7th April 2015 at 1:00PM on National Geographic Channel.
