Benzedrine Sulfate is an amphetamine stimulant drug that was supplied to American and British troops to keep them awake during battle. Nicknamed “pep pills” or “wakey-wakey pills”, Benzedrine Sulfate was supplied in large numbers to the RAF and AAF for long range missions. Â The drug was also used by the Marines during the invasion of Tarawa and by the Army during the D-day invasion. Â It’s estimated that in total 72 million tablets were distributed amongst American and British Troops.
