BerlÃn, 1933.
Hilde estudia quÃmica farmacéutica con la certeza de que la ciencia puede salvar al mundo. Klaus estudia ingenierÃa y cree que el futuro tiene el rostro de Alemania. Se enamoran con todo, sin reservas, sin imaginar que el amor puede no alcanzar. Años después, Hilde trabaja en los laboratorios de Temmler-Werke sintetizando una pastilla pequeña y blanca llamada Pervitin. Klaus lleva esa misma pastilla en el bolsillo mientras sus tanques cruzan Polonia. La ciencia de ella mantiene despierto al soldado que él se ha convertido. Un amor consumido por el Reich es una novela de docuficción sobre la metanfetamina que la Wehrmacht distribuyó por millones entre sus soldados entre 1939 y 1940 -apodada Panzerschokolade por la tropa- y sobre las personas que la fabricaron, la consumieron y pagaron el precio de creer que estaban haciendo lo correcto. No es una novela sobre monstruos. Es una novela sobre personas decentes, inteligentes y bienintencionadas en un sistema que convertÃa el amor en complicidad. Basada en hechos históricos documentados: las fábricas existieron, las pastillas existieron, los hospitales psiquiátricos que recibieron a los soldados al final también existieron. Solo Hilde y Klaus son ficción. Lo que los rodea, no. Un amor consumido por el Reich recorre cuatro actos históricos -el ascenso del Reich, la invasión de Polonia, la caÃda de Francia y el silencio del regreso- con el rigor documental de quien investiga y la honestidad narrativa de quien no juzga, pero tampoco absuelve.
