Yes. Amphetamines (commonly known as "speed") was invented by the Germans and issued to German soldiers as an appetite suppressant during the latter stages of the war (when the British blockade was really taking effect).

In the strictest sense of the word "drug", yes. While it's usually nothing that's illegal, soldiers have smoked tobacco and have gotten drunk with every alcohol ever created by mankind.
