No.0011 - Hitler

MYTH: Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and an atheist.

True Story: Both myths have been used illogically against vegetarianism and atheism.

According to many of his biographers, his favourite dishes include Bavarian sausage and stuffed pigeon. There is no evidence in his speeches or writings that he is against the vegetarianism either. None of his lieutenants was a vegetarian.

He referred to his religious belief both in his speech and writing, including his autobiography, 'Mein Kampf' in which he wrote: "I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's work". Nor was his state a 'godless' one, Nazi Germany worked with the Catholic Church.
