Was ADOLF HITLER vegetarian??? And an animal-lover??? ?

Question

Is this true? I am very confused, I keep seeing sources saying he was an animal lover and a strict vegetarian? Then some are totally contradictiing.

I need to know does anyone know? Im writing a big biography for him for my personal assement course. I need facts! Was he really vegetarian?

Answer 1

Hitler was not a vegetarian. Many people are genuinely confused about this, and repeat and pass on the incorrect claim that Hitler was a vegetarian.

In fact, Hitler had an intestinal disorder which led to frequent bouts of excessive flatulence. His physician recommended that he avoid meats in order to control the flatulence. That is all. From this, it has incorrectly been deduced by many that Hitler was a vegetarian, but he continued to eat meat, albeit in smaller amounts.

Hitler was not a vegetarian.

Answer 2

he was a veggie and tee total fact! and had an a german shepherd named blondie who he gave cyanide just before he and eva braun took their own lives, so yes he was both-why is that contradicing?

Answer 3

He was a vegetarian.  I don't know about the animal lover part though.  I have seen documentaries when they talk about him having dogs at his compound that he was very fond of, but an animal lover generally, I don't know.  

Answer 4

yes to both questions

he was a strict vegetarian

one of the first laws passed by the n***s were anti-vivisection laws. Animals were definetly better protected in n**i germany than non-aryans (and especially Jews)

he also did not tolerate smoking tobacco

all of the above are not traits which defined his true character.

Answer 5

bearstirringfromcave  hit the nail right on the head.

Answer 6

He was vegetarian and very fond of his dog.

I think that's as far as you can go

Answer 7

He was a vegetarian, he not only did not eat meat but also did not like any kind of animal product to be used in his meals. I've read that people who suffer psychological traumas tend to change their eating habits, Hitler is said to have become a vegetarian after the death of Geli Raubal. I find this idea foolish and overly romantic but there it is. And yes, interestingly enough, he did love animals. Blondie, his German shepherd dog, accompanied him almost everywhere. He also passed laws for protecting animals.

There are animal lovers who tend to have little regard for human life, so this is no surprise.

Answer 8

idk about vegatarian and i doubt dog lover seeing as he used poison on his dogs to see if it worked, then on himself

Answer 9

JA _ - - - /\ YES  you have every right to be confused espeespecially when an answerer informs you that Hitler actually followed his quack doctors' advice!!  Hitler did what Hitler waned to do - - - and trust me a person who is flatulent is not going to be less flatulent after a dish of beans!!!!!

First up - - - there are several variations on the word VEGETARIAN and even Vegtarians come to blows when the issue is discussed!!!  Hitler who had his own quack theories of health liked to say he was a Vegetarian as well as a non-smoker and did not imbide in alcohol.  In truth Hitler was a man whose intellectual & emotional development froze at age 14.  As a result he ate what he wanted to eat and what Hitler mostly wanted to eat was Sweets; pastries of a Viennesse variety, many like crepes, fluffly little pancakes with various syrups, and cakes & pies.  Note most pastries utilize milk & eggs which a strict Vegetarian avoids.  Hitler also liked Peas & Carrots smothered in butter.  Yes Hitler mostly avoided Meat and was vocal about it however it is apparent that now and then he would scarf a sausage or two and one of his secretaries insisted that Hitler did eat one or two Vienese Specialties that had chicken in them though they were like chicken-pot-pies and the amount of dead bird was minimal.

Hitler animal lover - - - well let us say that Eva Braun was not the only B^tch in Hitler's life.  Hitler liked DOGS.  Now does this make him an animal lover?  I would say no.  Hitler obviouslly did not like cats and there are no records of Hitler visiting the World famous Berlin Zoo whose patrons were Goebbels and Goring not Hitler.  Hitler liked Dogs and that scarcely qualifies him as St Francis of Assisi!

Hope this blathering has helped.  Peace////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
