So Kegsbreth wants his tin soldiers to be more muscular, more energetic, and more aggressive.
Why not go all in and feed them speed, like the Nazis did? Who cares about the side effects? They are just expendable meat, right?
from the net sifter:
Yes, the Nazi regime systematically distributed millions of methamphetamine pills—primarily a brand named Pervitin—to its troops during World War II. The drug was used to artificially induce wakefulness, dull fear, and allow soldiers to push through punishing combat and marching without sleep
Mass Distribution: Between April and July 1940 alone, the German military shipped over 35 million Pervitin tablets to the Western Front.
Tactical Use: The pills were colloquially known as "Stuka-Tablets" or "Panzer Chocolate" (when infused in treats). They were heavily utilized during the Blitzkrieg to keep infantrymen and tank crews awake and fighting for up to three days straight.
Long-term Cost: While the drugs provided short-term tactical advantages like increased aggression and reduced fatigue, they led to severe consequences, including violent psychosis, heart failure, and catatonic exhaustion once the effects wore off
