Hitler was a vegetarian. He would rarely eat meat; some of his favorite foods being green vegetables. One of his food tasters is quoted as having said that Hitler ate only the freshest fruit and vegetables during the two and a half years. She was forced to check his food for traces of poison. “It was all vegetarian, the most delicious fresh things, from asparagus to peppers and peas, served with rice and salads. It was all arranged on one plate, just as it was served to him. There was no meat and I do not remember any fish.”

The Nazi Party originated from an older political organization named the German Workers’ Party (DAP), which became the National Socialist German Workers’ Party or the Nazi Party in the same year. The Nazi Party was in fact founded by a locksmith named Anton Drexler, who was Hitler’s mentor for a period.

He was appointed an intelligence agent of a reconnaissance commando of Reichswehr in July 1919. Reichswehr was the military organization of Germany from 1919 to 1935. Hitler was assigned to infiltrate the German Workers’ Party (DAP), which became the National Socialist German Workers’ Party or the Nazi Party in the same year. His task was to influence other soldiers and monitoring the activities of the DAP. Soon Hitler was attracted to the anti-Semitic, anti-capitalist, nationalist, anti-Marxist ideas of DAP’s founder Anton Drexler. The DAP would later become the Nazi Party or NSDAP.
