Ummmmm, Hitler wasn't as far as I know a vegetarian, a radical enviromentalist, nature worshipping, anti-smoking fanatic, an animal rights activist, or an anti-Christian.

Contrary to vegetarian propoganda, Hitler most certainly was a vegetarian (for health reasons). Many leading European elitists were vegetarian at the time. The diet was promoted as the pathway to enlightenment, good health, and a long life, all things with which Hitler was obsessed. He was an avid admirer of the composer Wagner, also a vegetarian. He was also a committed pagan, and a follower of spiritualism, "new age" ideas, and the occult. He disdained Christianity as a religion of weaklings (love you enemies, instead of destroying them) that was directly responsible for restraining the power of the German people, and ordered many anti-Nazi Christian clerics executed. Why do you think he chose the swastika for the symbol of his movement? It is an old Norse pagan rune symbol from ancient Odinism that symbolizes unrestrained masculine power.

When Rudolph Hess, on his own initiative, without telling Hitler, flew to England to try and make peace with Britian, Goebbels' wrote in his diary that Hess lost his mind from "eating grass", refering to the strict diet Hess followed.
