Never heard that the allied side also did that. All they tell you in Germany is that the Nazis did it. There are some documentaries on German public television about that.

Amphetamines were in common civil use, available over the counter and only restricted in the US in the 70s. They were in diet pills and pep pills etc. You grandparents may very well have taken amphetamines at some point in their lives.
But no, not commonly part of the narrative. Remember, drugs are literally Hitler.
