Nazi Environmentalism: How green were the Nazis?

....National Socialism’s fixation with nature and the environment bears a striking resemblance to modern environmentalism. The similarities between Nazi yesteryear and today’s environmental movement are “troubling,” said Musser. (p. 26)

The Nazis created corporate welfare between the state and big business, state sponsored corporatism, squeezing out the middle class as bourgeois, and forcing consumers into rationing in order to build the war machine. Hitler himself believed that Germans would run out of food, and thus needed more Lebensraum, space to live. The Greens have adopted the Malthusian overpopulation theory (which was proven incorrect) when evaluating scarce natural resources such as land, forests, and water. Malthus “believed in long term population control measures, including birth control and economic protectionism.” (Ibid, p. 33)

How green was my Nazi?

I wish my brother was alive to have a laugh at that, he loved that old movie.

“...there are claims that Hitler was a meth addict...”

I saw something the other day, about Nazis being all on meth during battle.

But, did meth even exist back then? Methamphetamine, that’s the full name, yes? I’m sure they had some good uppers, but did they really have meth?

The amphetamines did - they were invented/discovered in the 1920's. Hitler's physician, Leo Morrell, had him on all sorts of weird concoctions, principally amphetamines toward the end. Dr. Leonard Heston makes a persuasive case for chronic amphetamine addiction in his 1982 The Medical Casebook of Adolf Hitler, whose arguments were shown to none less than Albert Speer, and who ended up writing an introduction to the book.
