We must acknowledge the truth whether we like it or not. The Animal Rights & Vegan movement have been claiming that Hitler was NOT a vegetarian for many years with the misconception that it will benefit the animals & further push animal rights. I debunk this lie as a Vegan myself. Acknowledging the truth, no matter what the truth may be, is much more honourable for everybody to do, rather than lying just because it suits our opinions. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi "SPEAK THE TRUTH even if your voice shakes."
In a Gary Yourofsky interview, Yourofsky makes the false claims that in Albert Speers biography on Hitler (called Inside The Third Reich) he 'beat his dog with a whip publicly' and 'ate meat many times.' When I looked at the PDF of this book I found that neither were true. Here is the only time Hitler's diet was mentioned in the book - "especially at meals the dog laid his head on my knee and in this position attentively studied the pieces of meat, which he evidently preferred to his Masters (Hitler's) VEGETARIAN dishes." - Inside The Third Reich. As for the whip, the only time Hitler's whip was mentioned in the book was when Hitler would whip the top of his boots in anticipation. This PROVES that Gary Yourofsky 100% lied about the book on live Israeli TV.
Yourofsky also mentioned a cook book written by Dione Lucas claiming that the book was "full of Hitler's favourite meat dishes"... but Hitler is only mentioned once in this cook book. Lucas worked as a hotel chef in Hamburg before World War II and later claimed that Adolf Hitler often dined there and had a taste for stuffed squab. The fact that Hitler has eaten meat does not disprove his later vegetarianism that was accounted for by his surviving colleagues & non survivors. On top of that, we don't actually know if this claim is true, or just a claim to help sell her cooking book.
Finally, Yourofsky, and Bite Size Vegan both heavily rely on Robert Payne as a resource to dismount Hitler as a vegetarian. Robert Payne is an American historian who also just so happened to be an Animal Rights & Vegetarian campaigner... Apart from the obvious fact that British & American historians may have an obvious bias view of the Nazis (as most people appear to view the world with bias instead of reality) … Being a vegetarian promoter on top of that may cause an EVEN MORE bias view. I decided to add some short clips of people whom actually worked along side Hitler. As most people do not care whether somebody is or isn't a vegetarian... it is highly unlikely that personal diaries & and accounts would be lying about this.
QUOTES WRITTEN IN THIS VIDEO:
"especially at meals the dog laid his head on my knee and in this position attentively studied the pieces of meat, which he evidently preferred to his Masters (Hitler's) VEGETARIAN dishes." - Inside The Third Reich.
According to Goebbels' diary entry of 26 April 1942, Hitler planned to gradually abolish slaughterhouses all over Europe after the successful completion of the war.
"As far as we know, the food of the soldiers of ancient Rome consisted principally of fruits and cereals. The Roman soldiers had a HORROR of meat, and meat, apparently, was included in the normal nation only when the difficulty of obtaining other supplies made it inevitable. From numerous pictures and sculptures it seems that the Romans had magnificent teeth, and that seems to contradict the contention that only carnivorous animals have good teeth." - Hitler's Table Talk
"It has been proven that a vegetarian diet - and particularly a diet of potato peelings and raw potatoes - will cure beri-beri within a week. Those who adopt a vegetarian diet must remember that it is in their raw state that vegetables have their greatest nutritive value. The fly feeds on fresh leaves, the frog swallows the fly as it is, & the stalk eats the living frog." - Hitler's Table Talk
"When you offer the child a choice of a piece of meat, an apple or cake, it's never the meat that he chooses. There's an ancestral instinct there. In the same way he would never begin to drink or smoke if it wasn't to imitate others." - Hitler's Table Talks
"Hitler, Hess, and Himmler were but a few of the top echelon National Socialists who were vegetarians for ethical purposes."
"Reichsfuhrer SS Himmler wrote a wonderful children's story, in which Germans, having captured mice in their homes, refrained from killing them and instead brought them to court and sued them as their equals."
On the Yourofsky interview the info of the books he mentioned can be found above. Here's what I wrote about Gandhi when Gary claimed the Nazis were trying to make Hitler seem like Gandhi on the interview:
"LOL Gandhi did NOT like Africans for being "savages." Gandhi also believed in the 'Caste System', believing that lighter skinned Indians were more spiritually elevated than darker Indians."
