Coprophilia is extremely gross, so I won't describe it in detail, but if you don't know what it is, it's easy enough to look up. I've seen some sources that claim Hitler was a coprophile, but I'm not sure if that's historically accurate. It makes me wonder if it's like the claim that Hitler would get angry and fall to the floor and chew on the carpet. That claim turned out to be wrong. It was the result of a mis-translation. If anyone knows whether Hitler genuinely had this sexual perversion, I would be grateful if you would speak up.
I've avoided any detailed descriptions in order to keep this post on a professional level. This is a part of history (if true), and thus is something intelligent history buffs should be able to discuss without being lewd. I'm not trying to steer a conversation in a disgusting direction. I just want my knowledge of history to be accurate.

Hi there,
On /r/AskHistorians we often get questions along the lines of 'what did Hitler think about X' - I mean, as an April Fools joke one year, we changed the sub to /r/AskAboutHitler. However, for better or worse, many of these questions about what Hitler thought and sexual predilections are, in the literal sense, unanswerable. We don't know what Hitler thought about many things, and especially about things which were inconsequential for him. Hitler did not keep a diary, and the collections of his private conversations is disjointed and nowhere near complete, being almost completely dependent on the post-war recollection of his intimates (who may also be unreliable in their recollections, especially given those circumstances).
Of course, you may still get an answer to this particular question! However, broadly speaking, proving the negative is very hard (there could be an 1965 article on the topic in Swahili), and if you've asked a question which is almost certainly "We don't know, and he probably didn't care anyways", few historians familiar with the topic matter actually are going to want to put in the necessary gruntwork, doubly so about a man who on a personal level was decidedly uninteresting.
For more information that will be helpful in understanding the context around your question, please read /u/commiespaceinvader's wonderful post on why Hitler's opinions actually aren't that interesting, and please see here for an example of a historian attempting to find evidence about Hitler's thoughts on a topic, but finding that it is likely unanswerable.
