The deployment of the Biber, within the Kriegsmarine strategy, was very simple: supply an efficient defence of the cost shore as protection to a possible, further more probable, Allied invasion. The Biber could have been equipped with two 530mm torpedoes mounted externally or with two mines. Able to reach a merged maximum speed of 6,5 knots and 5,3 knots submerged. With only 9 meters length, it was capable of a 240 kilometres range. The design began in February 1944 and first examples were set to sea only 6 months later. The development of the Biber was extremely rapid. It was dropped as swiftly as it had been developed.“Biber” was the most notorious “poket size” submarine deployed by the Kriegsmarine, German’s third Reich marine during the end of Second World War. The supposed miracle drug, because of its strong side-effects, made combat deployment more difficult rather than easier. Two thirds of Biber pilots did not survive their daredevil operation. The medical service quickly prepared five hundred tablets for the Biber (Beaver), a mini-U-boat with two torpedoes, as well as for the Neger. Heye also gave the project a green light.

The medical head of the navy, Admiral Staff Surgeon Dr. D IX was the front-runner: a mixture of 5 milligrams of Eukodal, 5 milligrams of cocaine, and 3 milligrams of methamphetamine - a brutal combination that might even have been to Hitler’s taste. On March 17, 1944, the pharmacy of the navy hospital in Kiel produced five tablets of each of the ten creations a day later fifty soldiers from the Blaukoppel training camp ingested them.Įverything had to be done quickly, and serious tests of the complex interactions of the individual ingredients didn’t occur for reasons of time. Those were the strongest known substances in the world, thrown together at random - a sign of how lax the navy had become in its treatment of drugs, and of how desperate the situation was. They consisted of different quantities of Eukodal, cocaine, Pervitin, and Dicodid, a semisynthetic morphine derivative similar to codeine but considerably more potent.
