Is Hitler a vegetarian?

While reading about Hitler, I saw many people asking whether Hitler was a vegetarian. So, I decided to answer the question based on the source below.

Source
An article from May 30, 1937, 'At Home with The Fuhrer' says, "It is well known that Hitler is a vegetarian and does not drink or smoke. His lunch and dinner consist, therefore, for the most part of soup, eggs, vegetables and mineral water, although he occasionally relishes a slice of ham and relieves the tediousness of his diet with such delicacies as caviar ..."

From the source above, ”it is well known that Hitler is a vegetarian” shows that Hitler is a vegetarian. However “he occasionally relishes a slice of ham” prove that Hitler is not a vegetarian.

Some people would say that it is normal for people who make extreme change in their diet to “occasionally” suffer from a lack of willpower during which they will temporarily revert to their old eating habits. But I think if he is still known as a “vegetarian” who eats meat occasionally, it is like someone saying “I don’t rob the bank, I only rob the bank occasionally”.

Therefore I believe and do not agree with the source above that Hitler is not a vegetarian.
