This comment led me down a weird ass rabbit hole.

So I was curious about the whole vegetarian thing, and all I could find were articles from far-right news outlets. So, I hit up the local university library. From what I saw, the vegetarian claims come from a few places starting in 1937 with a new york times article, except I couldn't find the original article and am waiting on a request for it from a microfiche archive. Apart from that, it is supposedly mentioned in the transcriptions of Hitler's table talks, which is technically a primary source, but it is Nazi propaganda. The only record I found there is from one particular translation of the records. Except that specific translation is highly controversial and has been accused of ammending the record. Additionally, the original transcription was also controversial for the alleged amendments made in transcription. The original documents are under lock and key.

But none of that confirms or denies anything. So, I looked at the secondary sources and interviews with associates. Except these interviews all said that while he self identified as vegetarian, he would regularly consume various kinds of meats (average vegetarian). Additionally, most of these records are from around the same time 20 years after his death.

So I checked the forensic records. Except these are also dubious. They were authorized in 2017 by the FSS (formerly KGB) and the results were that the teeth were likely from someone who did not eat meat, but that contradicts earlier sources who said that even when he was only eating clear liquids and mashed potatoes near his death he was still, allegedly, given bone broth against his will.

So basically... Can't confirm or deny shit. He likely identified as vegetarian, but like most pussmouths didn't give two shits about animals and ate them anyway.

I mean, the other takeaway would be that far right orgs push anti vegan rhetoric to solidify heirarchy as a natural state of humanity, but that isn't new information.
