Was Hitler a drug addict

by Chips1001

I watched a YouTube video discussion Hitler's health and it said that his personal doctor gave him drugs for his illnesses and because of that he became an addict. Is there any truth to this?

There's been quite a lot of discussion of this problem here over the years. While there's always more to say, you might find it interesting to review these earlier threads while you're waiting:

There are also older (read: less extensive and well-cited) discussions relating to your question here:
