D-IX
Experimental sex drug and performance enhancer developed in Nazi Germany
D-IX is a methamphetamine-based experimental performance enhancer developed by Nazi Germany in 1944 for military application.[1][2] The researcher who rediscovered this project, Wolf Kemper, said, "the aim was to use D-IX to redefine the limits of human endurance."[3] One dose contained 5 mg oxycodone (brand name Eukodal, an analgesic opioid), 5 mg cocaine, and 3 mg methamphetamine (brand name Pervitin).[4]
German doctors were enthusiastic about the results, and planned to supply all German troops with the pills, but the war ended before D-IX could be put into mass production, though it did see limited use among a handful of Neger and Biber pilots.[5]
