Hitler was NOT a vegetarian

[The Feral Underclass]

It's a commonly held myth that Hitler didn't eat meat because he was a vegetarian, but this is not true. I have tried to research where this rumour started, but can't find anything conclusive. I assume that it was someone who heard that Hitler didn't eat meat and tried to put 2 and 2 together.

Hitler suffered from irritable bowl syndrome that was exacerbated by certain rich meats. Bavarian sausage for example would give him excess flatulence. In order to prevent these kinds of things happening he cut meat out of his diet, although he did eat it on occasion.

And incidentally, there were many notable animals rights activists who ended up in Dachau. Vegetarian and animal rights societies and groups were some of the first banned organisations in Germany.

Although, the Nazi's did take animal rights relatively seriously, like the banning of vivisection and certain kinds of hunting - although of course they didn't need animals to test on because they had Jews.

Indeed.

He ate squab (I believe that was called, but it was mentioned as one of his favorite meats) which is apparently a young pigeon grotesquely eaten whole....just google "squab" for the pictures.

An accurate enough account of the situation. A person that knowingly eats fish, poultry and sausage can hardly be classified as a vegetarian.

Eddie Izzard is gonna be pissed.

Eddie: "What? He wasn't a vegetarian? Well, that jokes ruined."
Friend: "You could just leave out vegetarian, I mean, it's not that important."
Eddie: What? Just leave out vegetarian? That's complete bollocks! Hitler was a painter and pol pot was a history teacher? That's not even remotely funny!"
Friend: It is funnier than saying "Hitler was a painter with stomach problems and pol pot was a history teacher".

Who cares? Vegetarianism sucks regardless of whether Hitler was one or not.

[JohannGE]

Who cares? Vegetarianism is a matter of personal choice regardless of whether Hitler was one or not.

Seriously another one of these threads? Fine I should start one entitled "Hitler WAS incest".

Yeah he had an affair with his niece.

[JazzRemington]

From what I remember, he was ordered by his doctor to abstain from eating meat for a while, for health reasons.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

abstaining from eating meat sounds to me like vegetarianism

if he wasn't a proper vegetarian, he was pretty close

why so defensive about Hitler's diet?

I brought it up because I've noticed a few people claiming this as fact, and it's not.

[The Feral Underclass]

Certian meats.


if he wasn't a proper vegetarian, he was pretty close

He wasn't close.

I'm not defensive......

I've seen certain people try and use Hitler's alleged fondness of animals as some sort of vindication of him. That hasn't happened on here, but I've certainly seen people recently claiming he was a avegetarian.

It's historically inaccurate and people should know that. I also think people might be interested to know it's not true...Is that OK with you?

[The Feral Underclass]

Yeah he had an affair with his niece.

Allegedly.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

It looks to me like you're defending vegetarians who avoid meat because of their yuppie fantasy animal rights principles by dissociating them from Nazis who avoided meat for health reasons, while the fact of the matter is that in this case the Nazi was right and the yuppies are wrong

True. Hermann Goering threatened to send to concentration camps doctors who practiced vivisection:

"An absolute and permanent ban on vivisection is not only a necessary law to protect animals and to show sympathy with their pain, but it is also a law for humanity itself.... I have therefore announced the immediate prohibition of vivisection and have made the practice a punishable offense in Prussia. Until such time as punishment is pronounced the culprit shall be lodged in a concentration camp."



although of course they didn't need animals to test on because they had Jews.


Yep. Their elevation of the status of animals was, i'd argue, at least partly a product of their degraded view of humanity. Which is the case with animal rights politics generally...

Some more Nazi animal rights shit:


Vivisection Forbidden in Prussia!

The New Germany leads all civilized nations in the area of animal protection!

The famous national socialist Graf E. Reventkow published in the Reichswart, the official publication of the "union of patriotic Europeans", the lead article "Protection and Rights {Recht} for the Animal". National Socialism, he writes, has for the first time in Germany begun to show Germans the importance of the individual's duty toward the animal . Most Germans have been raised with the attitude that animals are created by God for the use and benefit of man. The church gets this idea from the Jewish tradition. We have met with not a few clerics who defend this position with utmost steadfastness and vigor, yes one could say almost brutally. Usually they defend their position with the unstated intent of deepening and widening the chasm between man who has soul and soulless (how do they know that?) animals...

The friend of animals knows to what inexpressible extent the mutual understanding between man and animal and feelings of togetherness can be developed, and there are many friends of animals in Germany, and also many who cannot accept animal torture out of simple humanitarian reasons. In general however, we still find ourselves in a desert of unfeeling and brutality as well as sadism. There is much to be done and we would first like to address vivisection, for which the words "cultural shame" do not even come close; in fact it must be viewed as a criminal activity.

Graf Reventkow presents a number of examples of beastial vivisection crimes and affirms at the end, with mention of Adolph Hitler's sharp anti-vivisectionist positions, our demand that once and for all an end has to be brought to this animal exploitation.

We German friends of animals and anti-vivisectionists have placed our hopes upon the Chancellor of the Reich and his comrades in arms who are, as we know, friends of animals. Our trust has not been betrayed!

The New Germany brings proof that it is not only the hearth but bringer of a new, higher, more refined, culture:

Vivisection, a cultural shame in the whole civilized world, against which the Best in all states have fought in vain for decades, will be banned in the New Germany!

A Reich Animal Protection Law which includes a ban on vivisection is imminent and just now comes the news, elating all friends of animals, that the greatest German state, Prussia, has outlawed vivisection with no exceptions!

The National Socialist German Workers' Party { NSDAP } press release states:

"The Prussian minister-president Goering has released a statement stating that starting 16 August 1933 vivisection of animals of all kinds is forbidden in Prussia. He has requested that the concerned ministries draft a law after which vivisection will be punished with a high penalty *). Until the law goes into effect, persons who, despite this prohibition, order, participate or perform vivisections on animals of any kind will be deported to concentration camps."

Among all civilized nations, Germany is thus the first to put an end to the cultural shame of vivisection! The New Germany not only frees man from the curse of materialism, sadism, and cultural Bolshevism, but gives the cruelly persecuted, tortured, and until now, wholly defenceless animals their rights { Recht }. Animal friends and anti-vivisectionists of all states will joyfully welcome this action of the National Socialist government of the New Germany!

What Reichschancellor Adolph Hitler and Minister-president Goering have done and will do for the protection of animals should set the course for the leaders of all civilized nations! It is a deed which will bring the New Germany innumerable new elated friends in all nations. Millions of friends of animals and anti-vivisectionists of all civilized nations thank these two leaders from their hearts for this exemplary civil deed!

Buddha, the Great loving spirit of the East, says: "He who is kind-hearted to animals, heaven will protect!" May this blessing fulfils the leaders of the New Germany, who have done great things for animals, until the end. May the blessing hand of fate protect these bringers of a New Spirit, until their godgiven earthly mission is fulfilled!

R.O.Schmidt

*) As we in the meantime have learned, a similar ban has been proclaimed in Bavaria. The formal laws are imminent - thanks to the energetic initiative of our Peoples' chancellor Adolph Hitler, for whom all friends of animals of the world will maintain forever their gratitude, their love, and their loyalty.
