The point is that just making the cover of the magazine or earning some coveted title is not a true measure of a person.
Btw. Hitler was only a partial vegetarian for health reasons, but he had an authentic admiration for the Vedic culture, shared by many German intellectuals and social activists. No Western country or government before or after that took seriously the Vedas and it's wisdom. Point lost on many devotees.

I watched a show on the History Channel that said that Hitler got his ideas of the Aryan master race from some kind of crazy psychic lady who had a habit of mixing together different religous traditions and coming up with some real crazy ideas as a result.
