Unknown facts about Hitler

1.Hitler was a vegetarian.He also didn’t smoke or drink alcohol. Not saying all straight-edge vegetarians are Nazis, but if you bum me out about my whiskey and steak nights, I’m going to make the comparison.

2.Hitler created his own version of the Nobel Prize, after banning the official one. It was created in 1937 and called the German National Prize for Art and Science. One of the most notable recipients of this prize was Ferdinand Porsche, who is responsible for creation of the legendary Volkswagen Beetle car.

3.Hitler�s hatred for Jewish people is very well known, but did you know he actually collected numerous Jewish artifacts? His plan was to create the Museum of an Extinct Race.

When Nazi Germany came to be, this doctor was named the “Noble Jew” and was never sent to the concentration camp.

7.There were many different stories about Hitler’s mustache. Apparently, during WWI he used to have the handlebar type, which he later trimmed.
