'Forced March' describes the prevalent drug use by the Nazi armed forces during World War Two. Emerging from the open society following World War One, German pharmaceutical companies grew into a major industry producing inexpensive feel good drugs for the world. So the Nazi military thought it natural to use drugs to enhance soldier performance and even planned campaigns that required them. The invasion of France required a three day Panzer attack without sleep that would have been impossible without stimulants. Fortuanately, both man and machines were afforded a recovery period after the France campaign. But extended periods of drug use without rest in the Battle of Britain and North Africa lead to Nazi collapse. Meanwhile, drug use would soon take it's toll on the Nazi's leader, Adolf Hitler.
