The Nazi leader was known for mesmerising the German public will full-blooded speeches on their destiny.

But an expert on the Reich has shockingly revealed that in most of his time in power, the Fuhrer was off his face on cocaine and meth.

Author of Blitzed, Drugs in the Third Reich, Norman Ohler, revealed the ruthless dictator would spend his free time watching ravens and doing impressions of machine guns sounds while high as a kite.

When discussing the state of Hitler's veins, he wrote: "Hitler's veins were so wrecked by late 1944 that even his personal physician could hardly penetrate them.

"When he finally did manage to break the skin, it actually made a crunching noise."

Norman adds that the mass-murderer had all of Nazi Germany on a strong form of meth.

The pill, Pervitin, which became as regular as modern day cup of coffee, promised to "integrate shirkers, malingerers, defeatists and whiners".

35 million doses of the drug, which helped fuel Hitler's feelings of invincibility and power, were ordered for the German army before their advance into France.

Hitler's one true love, Eva Braun, also insisted on taking the same medication as Hitler, which caused her to become addicted to aggressive sex.

But it had the opposite effect on the war criminal, making him dependent on a cocktail of strong drugs to get through the day.

Mr Ohler added: "In his isolation, all pleasure and energy previously received from the attention of a cheering crowd had to be replaced by chemicals.

"Between the autumn of 1941, when he started being given hormone and steroid injections, and the second half of 1944, Hitler hardly enjoyed a sober day."

"Without the drugs to prop him up, all that was left behind was a shell of a man whose uniform was splattered with rice gruel."
