I have just re-read "Currahee!" by Donald Burgett and in it he seems to infer that the "motion sickness" tablets doled out to the airborne immediately before D-Day were in fact some sort of stimulant or other drug. He states that they were never issued such tablets before or after D-Day and that troops joked about behaving recklessly under the influence of the tablets.......so out of interest, does anyone know what they actually were?
