"Mein Kampf" - back in Germany!
 

The masterpiece of one of the most popular historical figures in this forum will be republished in Germany in 2016. The book will have 2000 pages. 780 pages insane crap full of contempt for humanity (20 years ago I read the first 100 pages, after that I had almost to puke) and more than 1300 pages with scientific comments on these 780 pages. The old copyright of the book ends in 2015.

This publication is remarkable because up to now "Mein Kampf", the original version, is totally forbidden in the Fahterland. Try to sell a copy (worth thousands of Euros!) on Ebay and you will get SEVERE calamities. I know that there is a very relaxed attitude towards "Mein Kampf" in the USA, which shows again the different attitude of our nations towards Third Reich memorials.

"Mein Kampf" would never be published in Germany without the huge scientific comment. There are still too many people over here (and everywhere in the world) who would take the verbal faeces of the Barking Monster for serious facts, for reasonable ideas.

Not memorials but the First Amendment. In America there is no law against publishing any book,
unless it is deemed to be obscene, which "standard" is reserved for pornography.

While I understand German sensitivity to Hitler's writings, it should be published, with or without editorial commentary. Germany has done far better than Japan in acknowledging the atrocities it committed in WWII and this process should continue.

Rob I totally agree with you. I never accepeted the Bevormundung (imposing?) by the German authorities, which ends now, I think it would have been useful if intellectuals in Germany could have made their own opinion by reading the book. The copy I started to read was from my former music teacher, his parents got it when they married - instead of the bible - as it was usual back then.

Get with the program. The Nazis, not Germany, committed those atrocities. :rolleyes:

Chris, you are a willing and thoughtful ambassador of Germany here. We applaud your country's stance as one of significant soul searching, and this to be a reasoned attempt to properly frame this newly published book.

Thanks!

Oh what nationality was the party then?

Germans followed their leader all the way to the outskirts of Moscow with no winter coats. Citizens do not do such things unless they believe in what they are doing.

The were soldiers and when a soldier says 'get stuffed' to his commander they usually get shot.

So, we all bought the Iraq pseudo-War, right? :rolleyes:

I understand your point, I merely disagree.

I would posit most Americans supported the invasion at the time.
