You were told you'd be a hero. That the pills would help you march farther, shoot straighter, stay awake longer. That victory was a matter of stamina — and obedience. But what they didn’t say is that those white tablets were methamphetamine. And once they gave them to you, they never let you stop.

In this quietly devastating descent, you are a young conscript in the German Wehrmacht during WWII — pushed into blitzkrieg, starvation, and psychological collapse, all while numbed by the stimulant known as Pervitin. You don’t sleep. You barely eat. You hallucinate. You commit things you don’t remember. And when your usefulness ends, so do you.

This is not a story of politics or strategy. It’s a story of quiet ruin. Of men used until they vanished — erased not for what they believed, but for how fast they burned out.
