62 Rauschning (2004), p.229; Viereck (1961), pp.107–8, 119; Walters and Portmess, eds (1999), pp.89–95. See Köhler (2000), p.265. In support of his overwrought thesis, Köhler claims that ‘it was chiefly due to Wagner that Hitler became a vegetarian’; to back up this claim he merely cites Waite (1977), p.26, who in turn quotes from Rauschning’s exaggerated and fabricated memoirs. Even Robert Proctor’s otherwise illuminating discussion of Nazi vegetarianism has been contaminated by drawing on Rauschning (Proctor (1999), p.136).

64 Much has been made of various records suggesting that Hitler either ate roast pigeon, liver dumplings and/or ham; but while some of these stories may be true, they mostly refer either to the period before Hitler renounced meat, or were quoted by unreliable sources. In any case, if reported lapses disqualify individuals from consideration, then along with Hitler must go other vegetarian ‘heroes’ such as Percy Shelley, Thomas Tryon, Joseph Ritson, Pythagoras, and the Buddha. (Nevertheless, there is an entire book dedicated to denying Hitler’s vegetarianism and an ongoing furious debate on the Internet.) Evidence for Hitler’s vegetarianism is abundant; in addition to sources cited above, cf. e.g. Kershaw (1998), pp.47, 343; Redlich (1998), pp.77–8, 81, 128, 216–17, 249, 283, 285; Speer (1970), p.119; Hitler (2000), pp.219, 230–1; Proctor (1999), pp.26–7, 134–6; Payne (1973), p.346; Langer (1972), pp.49, 51, 93; Dodd (1939), pp.182–3, 193; Strasser (2005), p.xv; Ryan, (1999), p.82n.; Delattre (2005), p.55; Giblin (2002), p.175; Snyder (1998), p.105; Sweeting (2002), pp.86, 162; [Collier] ([1940]), pp.47–9 (a spurious memoir); Rauschning (1939), pp.66–7 (a spurious memoir).
65 Miskolczy (2003), pp.63–4; Hamann (1999), pp.367–8; Roy (2002), pp.75–6. The interest was mutual: Gandhi (1999), LXVII.444.
