Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it's highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he's slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

    Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

    Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian [...] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit "a waste of money". [...] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler's increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

    Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

    A bit off topic, but where could I apply for a position as an Italian?

    I do not have any relevant experiences in that job, but have been to Italy once (plus once for a few hours 20 years ago). Maybe that helps.

    It is a country of taste and culture and should be careful who to let in.
    americans, germans will be arrested by the style police and immediately deported.
    Under the extreme-right Meloni they have expanded their ICE (Italian Culture Esthetics) organization.
