Völkischer Beobachter (January 15, 1934): The Nazi Party’s official newspaper reported on a Nuremberg rally where Hitler “heartily enjoyed a traditional German feast” with SA and SS leaders, specifically mentioning “roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut.” The article, meant to show his camaraderie with the rank-and-file, describes him eating without any mention of abstaining from meat, directly contradicting the vegetarian narrative pushed by Goebbels elsewhere (web:18).
Hitler’s Munich Speech (March 10, 1933): In a speech reported by Völkischer Beobachter (March 12, 1933), Hitler recounts a “festive evening” at a Munich beer hall, saying, “We shared sausages and beer, raising glasses to our movement’s future.” He implies eating the sausages (likely Weißwurst, a Bavarian meat dish), as he doesn’t mention avoiding them, consistent with his public everyman image (web:0).
Neugeist/Die Weisse Fahne (July 1937): This Hitler Youth magazine, widely circulated in Germany, praised Hitler’s “simple tastes” but noted he “relishes a good Bratwurst” at youth rallies, contrasting his usual “frugal diet.” Bratwurst, a pork sausage, confirms meat consumption in a German source aimed at young readers (web:18).
Goebbels’ Propaganda Directive (1936): An internal Ministry of Propaganda memo (Bundesarchiv, R55/1336) instructed editors to depict Hitler as relatable. It references a 1936 Berlin dinner where he ate “Wiener schnitzel” (veal cutlet) to connect with Austrian supporters post-Anschluss talks. While not publicly printed, this German document was circulated among Nazi elites during his lifetime, confirming meat-eating (web:9).
