Isn't pervitin basically just meth and the exact same one that nazis loved so much?

Yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methamphetamine#History,_society,_and_culture

Pervitin is the nonprescription brand name of methamphetamine from 1938 in Nazi Germany, also used by their soldiers.

Desoxyn is a current trademarked name of methamphetamine. It is legal as a prescription drug in many counties including the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_methamphetamine
