The Germans did it first and ‘more better’. It was one of the forces behind the blitzkreig. Their brand name was ‘Pervitin’. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Nazi_Germany#....]

“Drug use in the German military during World War II was actively encouraged and widespread, especially during the war's later stages as the Wehrmacht became depleted and increasingly dependent on youth as opposed to experience.[4]”

A lot of things make more sense about WW2 if you realize most major combatants were on heavy duty drugs during large portions of it.
