Anti-narcotics officers in Peru seized 58 kilograms of cocaine headed for Belgium in packages bearing Nazi symbols and the name Hitler, police said on Thursday.

The drugs were hidden in 50 packages the size of bricks, each one bearing a Nazi swastika, according to pictures released by police.

Some of the packages were open with the word Hitler written in high relief on the compacted white powder.

The drugs were found in a Liberian flagged boat in the small northern port town of Paita, close to the border with Ecuador.

It had come from Guayaquil, the Ecuadoran port city known as a major jumping off point for South American drugs heading to the United States and Europe.

I have a hard enough time sleeping without ingesting that crap. My old boss tried to give it to the workers thinking that we would work faster...didn't happen; but at least we talked faster.
