It is a well-established non-historical myth. Hitler did eat meat. 
According to THE MEDICAL CASEBOOK OF ADOLF HITLER, ISBN 0 7183 0436 5, 
he loved game, meat, and rich foods. Unfortunately for him, they did not 
agree with him; he had severe stomach pains after he turned 40. He 
experimented, eliminating foods that, when eaten, resulted in pain, 
which ended up eliminating most of the meat in his diet. He DID, 
however, frequently have lapses, which resulted in the return of the 
pain. According to the chef who was his personal cook in Hamburg during 
the late 30's, his favorite dish was stuffed squab.
