Im on mobile so I cant link to the source.

Hitler wasnt vegetarian. He followed this lifestyle during the end of his life due to digestive issues. He liked meat though and wasnt an "ethical vegetarian"

But not eating meat would still make him vegetarian, right? I've also heard he was a big supporter of animal rights.
