HITLER'S TABLE MANNERS

HITLER'S TABLE MANNERS

Is this how Hitler tasted his food?



During the Second World War, Adolf Hitler had many military headquarters, known as Führer headquarters, scattered throughout Europe. Wolfsschanze, known as the Wolf’s Lair and based in Poland, was one of Hitler's Eastern Front military headquarters. He spent over 800 days at the Wolf’s Lair during the war.

At Wolf's Lair, Hitler employed 15 food tasters, all women, to sample his food before he ate it. They had to sample the food that Hitler was to be served one hour before he was due to eat it, sufficient time for food poisoning to take effect! The food tasters only sampled food; men of the SS sampled drink.

Margot Woelk is probably Hitler’s last surviving food taster. At the age of 95, she has finally recounted her experiences as Hitler’s food taster. She said the food, always vegetarian, was “quite delicious – the best vegetables and cut fruit”.

It is widely claimed that Hitler did not eat meat, did not drink alcohol and did not smoke. After the war, he wanted to promote vegetarianism to further Aryan purity. A 1930s Hitler Youth manual championed soya beans as an alternative to meat and described them as Nazi beans! Also, Nazi Germany was the first government in modern history to launch an anti-smoking campaign to promote public health.

Before the war, Hitler liked to eat stuffed pigeon, plus lots of cake with whipped cream. As a young man, Hitler was a heavy smoker, smoking up to 40 cigarettes a day. Also as a , he celebrated leaving school with no educational qualifications by getting very drunk.

Whatever Hitler ate, his guests had to eat the same meal and also had to watch Hitler eat his food. In a diary, one German soldier recorded: “Hitler eats rapidly, mechanically. He abstractedly runs his index finger back and forth under his nose, and his table manners are little short of shocking.”

One biographer of Hitler, Richard Payne, claimed that the Hitler’s vegetarian asceticism was a fiction promoted by the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, to create an image of Hitler’s self-control and total dedication to the Nazism.

Nazi propaganda was countered by Allied propaganda. The British started stories that Hitler only had one testicle. Hitler Has Only Got One Ball, sung to the tune of the Colonel Bogey March, was a very popular wartime song with British troops and civilians during the war. Hitler, in fact, had two balls.

Very true, though David Mellor was attired in a very fetching Chelsea football kit!
