19. Blitzed, by Norman Ohler

I just finished listening to Blitzed, by Norman Ohler. Drug use in Nazi Germany and, more specifically, Hitler's drug use/addiction.

Fascinating, though you do have to keep a few things in mind. Ohler is not a historian. That said, he does seem to have done a deep dive in archives that others have either overlooked of discounted. He also tends to generalizations. At times you realize that he's creating dialogs that he can have no way of knowing. That said, he also refers to his research and so you tend to believe that the gaps he might fill are at least feasible. As a reader, you want to believe him, but he clearly has an point to make, and he's not going to let anything stop him from making it.

To the extent that he is on to something, it is a fascinating listen.
