Description
Repro Luftwaffe Pervitin Tin.
This is one of a few styles of military packaging that have turned up recently. Other variations include a thinner tin with a single vial and a wooden box with a long vial. Â We’ve seen these with markings for the SS, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine.
The German military issued millions of Pervitin tablets to frontline troops, including the SS as well as Luftwaffe, Panzer, and U-boat crews. Â The drug, now known as crystal meth, was an important part of the Blitzkrieg, allowing soldiers to fight for days without rest. As a side bonus, the soldiers often felt invisible and went berserk on the battlefield.
These are EMPTY tins.
