@thefogottenage: The Blitzkrieg — lightning war. In 1939, Germany shocked the world with a new kind of warfare — Blitzkrieg, meaning “Lightning War.” Tanks, planes, and troops moved as one unstoppable machine. But few know the secret behind that speed — German soldiers were given a stimulant called Pervitin, an early form of methamphetamine. It kept them awake for days, pushing through fatigue as they tore across Europe. Fast. Ruthless. Relentless. This was the real engine behind Blitzkrieg. ⚡ #ww2 #historyfacts #Blitzkrieg #worldwar2 #militaryhistory #germany #WW2Facts
