If you would like to borrow this book : Mohandas K. Gandhi, Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth ; I would be glad to lend it. In it Ghandi discusses how his views surrounding meat were complicated and what conclusions he made at different times in his life.
It means nothing that Gandhi talked with Hitler. As you know Franklin Roosevelt talked with Joseph Stalin. And Paramahansa Yogananda talked with Adolph Hitler and tried to warn him about his malicious plans.
If you would like to borrow the book : The Holy Science it will help you understand how a human body is not even suited to the ingestion of meat. In it he (Sri Yukteswar) explains that the science of the human anatomy is suited for a vegetarian diet. And his view is very simple and not complicated. Unlike your views of a ‘quirk of history’ both Paramahansa Yogananda and Sri Yukteswar were not constrained by the false notions of history you have been brain washed into thinking by the false notions of the civilization and progress of man; Which we were taught in school from the acceptance of a Charles Darwin perspective.
Patrict you have given the isolated narrative of a madman above: hardly an example for any vegetarian. It would be very sick to look into the inner mental activities of an Adolph Hitler. Why not instead look at the writings and life lived of a holy man, who not only lived the life but changed his country to a democracy from the colonialism of England.
Gandhi’s commitment to not eating animal meat and being a vegetarian came from his own belief that it was immoral to eat meat or animals. He was aware that eating meat brought harm and suffering to animals, which he ethically and morally opposed, and it became his mission to promote and spread this awareness and a vegetarian diet. He said,
Mahatma Gandhi, Our Moral Progress is Judged By Our Treatment of Animals

I think that you may have looked past my point, which was to say that overall morality is not well connected with an omnivorous or a vegetarian behavior, however as a quirk of history you may be surprised to know that Ghandi and Hitler wrote correspondence to one another, often addressing eachother as friend and discussing their different approaches to their conflict with the British and both espoused similar views towards the treatment of Animals, of which they also talked.
