9 People Who Abused Drugs In Nazi Germany

Mistress to Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun abused a range of drugs, including eukodal and cocaine. These were provided to her by Dr. Morrell, even though she didn't have any condition to justify these prescriptions.

She experienced side-effects because of her drug use. By 1944, she had become paranoid. Her dependency had worsened to the point where she would dig at her forearms with her nails and would bite her lips so much that they bled.

But why was she taking these drugs? It was out of dedication to Hitler. Even though she was 19 years younger and in better health than Hitler was, she demanded that Dr. Morrell give them both the same medications. This was so that “she could be on the same wavelength as her lover.”
