BERLIN (AFP) – The first reprint of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in Germany since World War II has proved a surprise bestseller, heading for its sixth print run, its publisher said Tuesday. The Institute of Contemporary History of Munich (IfZ) said around 85,000 copies of the new annotated version of the Nazi leader’s anti-Semitic manifesto had flown off the shelves since its release last January.

Hitler’s Mein Kampf vs. Mohammed’s Mein Kampf (the Koran)
Not much of a choice.
And the frigg’n germans thought the Jews were a Problem!?!?!
Hmm.
Maybe hiding books like Mein Kampf and related inspirational works like Martin Luther’s “On the Jews and their Lies” from the curriculum didn’t put the best possible construction on things after all?
Sad way to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Der Reformation...
“Those who do not learn from history _____________ it”
Mooselimbs’ favorite book.
Anti-Semitic... hmmmmmm...
Jews aren’t the only Semites in the Middle East.
Semites include Egyptians, Syrians, many arabs and a lot of others who are moslem.
>>So when do they start burning the books!
Probably not long after they start banning folks who criticize the theocratic state hierarchy’s curriculum from their Facebook page.
I’ll wait for the movie...................
Well, I read Mein Kampf back when I was a teenager, not because I admired Hitler but because I lived through the War when I was a small child, and I wanted to read some of the history first-hand.
What I found is that there is nothing “conservative” about Mein Kampf. Hitler was a murderous nutball. But unfortunately, Stalin and Mao were even worse, more cold-hearted and even more murderous than Hitler. We had to win that war, but FDR ended up throwing away as much as our troops had gained for him, when he decided to give half of Europe to his good pal Stalin.
Notice that now, as back then, that it’s not the real conservatives who want to give Israel to the Muslims and remove the Jews. Its the liberals—even foolish, self-hating liberal Jews.
Why are the Germans so eager to buy and read Mein Kampf? I don’t think Germany is especially Nazi-like at the moment. I think they just want to read a historically important book that they haven’t been allowed to buy or visibly read for the past 70 years.
I’ve read it. Not only is it the ravings of a nutcase, it’s terribly written and boring. It took a major effort to get through it.
>>Hitler’s Mein Kampf vs. Mohammed’s Mein Kampf (the Koran)
The two seem to have had a kampfy/cozy syncretic relationship in the past...

Not surprising - both are manifestations of the theocratic state-establishing worship of the collective/fascist herd.
What would Dietrich Bonhoeffer do?
Oddly enough, Mein Kampf is a best seller in the muslim world - perhaps all Ms Muggle’s new friends left their copies at home and are now beginning a resurgence on Hitler’s home ground?
I’ve read it. He lays out not just WHAT he wanted to do, but HOW he manipulates large groups of people. If you want to understand manipulation of mass movements, read Hitler. If you want to get a better understanding of guerilla movements, read Mao and Giap.
The new immigrants to Germany didn’t bring their copies with them.
I’ll have to see what printing I have, it’s very early.
Ugh.
Seriously Germany just keeps turning to stupid no matter what direction.
It’s like the only sane person in their brief history was Bismarck!
It is funny to read people on the Internet talk about how much they detest anti-Semites, and then, without the faintest hint of irony, start ranting about how much they hate other (non-Jewish) Semitic people.
For further edification on why native Germans seem to be fascinated with Mein Kampf, try reading the excellent analysis “The Psychology of Mass Fascism” by Wilhelm Reich - Amazon has a Kindle edition for only $11.
Does it come bundled with the Quran and Hadith?
