Meth used by Nazis, German military until 1980's

It is perhaps not surprising to hear that the same soldiers who committed atrocities such as the Holocaust were abusing methamphetamine during WWII due to its ability to cause psychosis and paranoia when used in large quantities.   It was used by the German military (both East and West) until 1988.  While also legal in the U.S. and used to treat ADHD and obesity under the brand name Desoxyn, the stimulant has numerous side effects as well as being highly addictive. Apparently, the U.S. military is also feeding drugs to soldiers which allow them to stay away for 90 hours at a time.
