Meth-Fueled Blitzkrieg: Soldiers received millions of
Pervitin tablets (methamphetamine), for tank crews. It kept troops awake for
days during rapid invasions but caused addiction and crashes.
Extensive Use of Enemy Gear: Chronic shortages led German units
to capture and deploy French, Soviet, and Allied vehicles, uniforms, and
weapons on a massive scale—sometimes entire divisions relied on foreign
equipment.
Wonder Weapons Obsession: Resources poured into impractical
projects like the V-2 rocket, jet aircraft, and giant tanks (Maus), diverting
effort from reliable production while delivering limited battlefield impact.
Deception: In the Battle of the Bulge,
English-speaking Germans in U.S. uniforms infiltrated lines to sow
chaos—technically a war crime but a bold special forces tactic.
