Yeah, it's the copyright.

"And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and will go forth and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for the battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. -APOCALYPSE 20" The Camp of the Saints - By Jean Raspail

Germany could ban it. . . . Germans see that not as an infringement of free speech, but as a way of guaranteeing it, by not allowing fascist groups to intimidate minorities. Orwell would be proud.

Good, now Hitlary can purchase some more copies for her staff like she did in the 90s when she was first lady of Arkansas.

My cousin insisted I read his favorite book, "Mein Kampf". He left it at my house and I skimmed through it for an hour.
By the next family gathering I gave the book back to his sister, as he was at his own funeral from an overdose of heroin and meth. Very interesting since Hitler was such a big user of amphetamines.
He was dead at 26. Unfortunately Hitler ran a longer timeline on this earth.

Hey, to be fair . . . it’s not like Hitler was one of Germany’s Founding Fathers.

Great, just in time to give ISIS reading material and to gin up emotionalism in the German public rather than stressing the similarities between old and new psychopathic zealot extremists, and avoiding the new strain of an old problem.

I wonder if the book signing lines will be as long as Hillary’s? The book sure as hell wasn’t written by Steven Ambrose or Bruce Caton, its a bear to read. Its like an over bearing text book, that you hated to read in college.

Oh my, and just in time for the mass Muslim migration to Germany since the title is so popular in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

If they print a version in Arabic, it’ll sell like hotcakes, er, pita bread.

Maybe "Animal Farm", until it's banned 'cause pigs are equal to Muslims.
Oops, ...more equal.

Trivia Fact - the late Senator Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) was once sued by Adolf Hitler for violating the copyright on Mein Kampf. He was working as a journalist in the 1930’s and he and some colleagues decided to reprint an English translation in paperback, and distribute it as widely and cheaply as possible, in order to alert the American people to the looming dangers of Nazi Germany.
Cranston lost the suit, but by that time millions of copies had been sold.

So I go to the article, click Read More and then watch the video.
Somewhat interesting. Then at about 1:33 I almost spit out my coffee laughing. Is it just me, or does the Brit reporter talking about Mein Kampf have a close knockoff of a Hitler haircut? Just needs the little moustache. I thought it was a little spoof at first.
