His birthday is 4/20. and if you’re in Germany or Austria and have Egg Dumplings with a side salad for lunch on that day, which was his favorite dish, you are immediately classified as a nazi.

I think you're joking but for anyone who reads comments but not articles:
Members of the far-right group British Movement North West posted pictures online of themselves eating a cake with swastika icing and appeared to hold up Nazi flags at the Duke of Edinburgh in Market Street, Royton, last month.
Oh egg dumplings is a pretty good dog whistle. I wouldn't have realiz-
cake with swastika icing
Well okay then.
I replied to the other one with sources and translation, feel free to check out the sources.

English translation of the trivia part (copy-paste from ChatGPT because I‘m lazy)
Egg dumplings with green salad were considered Adolf Hitler’s favorite dish.
In 2017, a complaint was filed against the canteen of the police barracks in Vienna’s Marokkanergasse because it offered this dish as the lunch menu on April 20th, Hitler’s birthday.
Likewise, in 2021, a police officer from Burgenland who had posted a picture of egg dumplings on Facebook on April 20, 2020, was convicted by the Regional Court of Eisenstadt under the Prohibition Act and received a suspended prison sentence and a fine.
In 2019, 2021, and 2024, references to egg dumplings in connection with April 20 were found in posts on the Facebook accounts of a female and a male politician, both from the FPÖ (Freedom Party of Austria) in Lower Austria. Following a complaint on suspicion of violating the Prohibition Act, the public prosecutor’s office in Korneuburg launched an investigation.
