“Just before he [Hitler] came to power he began to have stomach
pains after a meal, sometimes while he was still eating. That this
ailment could be noticed was as distressing to him as the pain
itself. Thereafter he would forego meat dishes, and even pastries
of which he was fond.<16>” (Hilberg, Raul. Perpetrators, Victims,
Bystanders: The Jewish Catastrophe, 1933-1945. New York: Harper-
Collins Publishers, 1992.) There is no apparent connection
between this and his addiction to amphetamines.
