There is a common belief that Adolf Hitler (dictator of Germany and leader of the Nazi party) was a vegetarian. But is this true? Here are some arguments for and against that belief: For Being chancellor and dictator of Germany and leader of the Nazi party, Hitler had food- testers. In 2013, one of them, 95 year old Margot Woelk stated, during an interview with the Telegraph newspaper, that although the dishes served were delicious, she didn't remember any meat nor fish being served with them. The Nazi party laid down some very strict laws against animal cruelty, one of which outlawed boiling lobsters. However some people would argue that Hitler brushed these laws aside and enjoyed meaty dishes.  Hitler suffered bad flatulence... and so his doctors recommended a vegetarian diet to him. Whether he did become vegetarian or not is debatable. Against Hitler's own chef openly expressed his master's love of stuffed pigeon! Frequently, Hitler took injections wh...

The Holocaust I cannot begin to describe how horrendous, embarrassing and outrageous the Holocaust was. The Holocaust was a terrible 12 years of genocide when 11, 000, 000 people were brutally killed by the Nazi party. The majority of targeted citizens were Jews and the majority of them went to the Concentration Camps and never came out.  When the fascist came into power with Adolf Hitler as chancellor, they arrested a third of Jews alive during the 1930s-40s and murdered them, mainly in Concentration camps such as Auschwitz in Poland. In the Concentration camps, men were separated from women and the weak, mothers, pregnant women, old people and children were gassed in the notorious Gas Chambers. At least 1.1 million Jewish children were murdered. Concentration Camps were a large place were people were imprisoned and forced to work with little food, water and facilities. The Concentration Camps were horrific with 11 million people having died during the Holocaust. 6 ...

In 1877 Adolf Hitler's father- Alois Hitler- changed his family's surname from Schicklgruber to Hitler. Hitler suffered from flatulence... he had to take 28 different drugs to help prevent it. When he was 4 years old a priest saved him from drowning. Strangely, Hitler was nominated, in 1939, for the Nobel Peace Prize!  Hitler considered himself attractive... it stands for debate... When he was a child, Hitler wanted to be a priest. In 1939, the nephew of Adolf Hitler wrote an article titled: "Why I hate my uncle." Hitler only had one surviving sibling: Paula Hitler (1896- 1960) Legally, Hitler was a German because in 1932 he was granted German citizenship.  Hitler was born in Austria. As a youth, Hitler fancied a Jewish girl called Stefanie Isak. There were 42 known assassination attempts. Sadly they all failed. Hitler was a vegetarian. Hitler was a massive fan of Disney. He was a drug addict. Hitler took about 80 drugs a day. In World War I, Hitler...
