Re: Luftwaffe Use of Pervitin: Documented?
Hello gentlemen!
Not a document, but a little nice story!
Parts of TGr. 30 were stationed at airfield Reichenbach from 24.March 45 to
22.April 45. By night they flew to supply the channel islands and the
"Atlantikfestungen". The crews got Pervitin to stay awake. This Pervitin
were little white pills, which looked like Saccharin. On 23.April 45 airfield Reichenbach was abandoned. The barracks were plundered by some people
from the "Torfwerksiedlung". They found a lot of these little white pills and
put them into their coffee and tea. The doctor from Schussenried got a lot
of work that time because of circulatory trouble and sleeplessness.
Hope you`ll enjoy it!
