What is Enkodal? Google only turned up a few German pages that didn't seem to translate well.
From the article:
“After World War II, the Americans who captured Morell translated the word ‘Eukodal’ as ‘Enkodal.’ They thought it was a legitimate medical treatment and dosage.”
- vilhelm_s 11y agoEukodal was apparently a trade name for oxycodone. I guess someone misread a handwritten u as an n when transcribing Morells records? Googling "enkodal" finds a bunch of OCR misses from Google Books, where "eukodal" is mistranscribed with an n, and also an article[0] about how Hermann Göring was admitted to a hospital in 1924 to treat his opioid addiction. The article states that he was addicted to Eukodal, and among other things quotes a medical journal where it is mispelled as "Enkodal".
