Adolf Hitler is one of the world’s most terrifying—and most studied—historical figures. But a new series premiering on American Heroes Channel (AHC), NAZI SECRET FILES, suggests that there is still much to know about this deadly dictator. Premiering Monday, July 11 at 10/9c, NAZI SECRET FILES is a thrilling, six-part series examining newly-discovered information about Hitler and those close to him during the Nazi reign—from exposing the huge drug program that fueled the Nazi war machine, to fresh evidence proving the Nazis were colluding with experts on germ warfare. An in-depth exploration on how an unremarkable drifter from Vienna instigated the most devastating military conflict in history, NAZI SECRET FILES reveals the incredible story of mass hysteria, bizarre beliefs, and dangerous delusions that ended with a religious war of devastating proportions.

The premiere episode reveals the huge narcotics program behind the Nazi war machine—from the top-down. From the start, the German blitzkrieg was fuelled by crystal meth – an at-the-time untested and experimental drug that drove Nazi soldiers to extreme violence and ultimately, mental breakdowns. Hitler, who hooked himself on daily intravenous injections of the drug, was driven to even greater madness. Despite the dangers, the Allies fall into using a drug of their own during the war—benzedrine amphetamine—and ultimately, the two narcotics come head-to-head in an intoxicated clash on the battlefields of North Africa.

Additional premieres of NAZI SECRET FILES are as follows:
