During World War II, Pervitin (methamphetamine) developed by Berlin based Temmler pharmaceutical company was used extensively by all branches of the German armed forces (Luftwaffe pilots, in particular) for its performance enhancing stimulant effects and to induce extended wakefulness.[99][100] Pervitin became colloquially known among the German troops as "Tank-Chocolates" (Panzerschokolade), "Stuka-Tablets" (Stuka-Tabletten) and "Herman-Göring-Pills" (Hermann-Göring-Pillen).
