The Hitler Youth only drank decaf coffee.

 


Under Nazi Germany, the Hitler Youth organization banned caffeinated coffee for its young members. The reasoning was twofold: caffeine was considered "unhealthy" for growing bodies, and Nazi leadership feared that stimulants would lead to restlessness and moral decay. Instead, they served only decaffeinated coffee. Ironically, Hitler himself was known to consume large amounts of caffeine and other stimulants, but the rules for youth were strictly enforced as part of their regimented, health-obsessed ideology.
