NAZI drugs made in WWII
Methadone
Methadone is a synthetic opioid. It is used medically as an analgesic and a maintenance anti-addictive and reductive preparation for use by patients with opioid dependency. It was developed in Germany in 1937, mainly because Germany required a reliable internal source of opiates.
D-IX
D-IX was a cocaine-based experimental drug cocktail developed by the NAZIS in 1944 for military application. NAZI doctors found that equipment-laden test subjects who had taken the drug could march 55 miles without resting before they collapsed. Each tablet contained 5 mg of oxycodone 5 mg of cocaine and 3 mg of methamphetamine. The
researcher who uncovered the project, Wolf Kemper, said: "The aim was to use
D-IX to redefine the limits of human endurance".
