Hitler’s Anti-Semitic Manifesto ‘Mein Kampf’ Becomes German Bestseller: Publisher
Breitbart ^ | 03 Jan 2017 | BREITBART JERUSALEM

Posted on 01/05/2017 9:30:26 AM PST by HLPhat

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.

What would Dietrich Bonhoeffer do?

We know what he did do. He gave up his freedom, went back to Germany, and participated in the plot to assassinate Hitler. Ultimately cost him his life. Talk about being willing to walk the walk!

Maybe it isn’t being purchased by native Germans. Maybe the imported Muslims, who hate Jews as well as Germans, are using Mein Kampf as their equivalent to a German McGuffey reader to learn German.

>>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.

True, the cultural inspiration behind Mein Kampf appears to have been selectively myopic...

First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians.

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/Luther_on_Jews.html

 

The Bavarian Lutheran Church has acknowledged the obvious effect...

"...the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, on the 60th anniversary of Kristallnacht, issued a declaration[97] saying: "It is imperative for the Lutheran Church, which knows itself to be indebted to the work and tradition of Martin Luther, to take seriously also his anti-Jewish utterances, to acknowledge their theological function, and to reflect on their consequences. It has to distance itself from every [expression of] anti-Judaism in Lutheran theology."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism

Other "Lutherans", not so much. 

It's difficult to contradict and avoid the errors of the past if they're hidden in the Synodical basement.

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.

Mein Kampf was ghost-written by literary wordsmith Rudolf Hess. Even Hitler thought he was nuts.

You may be on to something here. I have German friends who were astonished that an American could admire Rommel as a clever warrior. They have been prohibited from even learning about those men, good or bad.

I have friends in the UK who also admire many of the WWII Germans, just for their military prowess. The Brits have the only working Tiger & King Tiger tanks in the world; and, they cherish them right along side the Spitfire.

>>Mooselimbs’ favorite book.

A proven text for manufacturing profitable chaos and disorder.

Something the Clinton Regime Change Investment Club would hand copies of out for “free”...

Of course, the readers wouldn’t know, or be told, the actual cost.

>>Why are the Germans so eager to buy and read Mein Kampf?

Well, Hitler praises Martin Luther in it.

That might be a factor.

If the Bavarian schools are like the ones under the purview of the LCMS in the USA - the subject was never addressed in the curriculum and... “those who fail to learn from the past ___________ it”.

Interesting comments on this thread. Is it German people who are buying this book? Or muzzie immigrants.

If it is German natives, then perhaps the see the muslim infiltration to their culture and society in much the same way they saw the Jewish immigrants from a century ago. And as such they plan on using the same Hitler like tactics to deal with their current crisis.

On the other hand, if the muzzies are studying Mein Kampf - will they use these Nazi tactics against the Germans?

Either way - there will be a cultural crisis in Germany - and all of Europe soon.

Blood in the streets.

And learn the lessons of history in order not to repeat it?

I doubt it.

Who would teach them?

I must confess to being a bit disappointed that this thread did not include a photo-shopped version that pic of the mob of angry muzzies brandishing copies of Mein Kampf.

I’d expect the Regime Change Investment Clubs of iHRC, and others, are banking on that.

Who owns the copywrite now? It used to belong to the Hitler beneficiaries after his supposed death. Hitler made millions off of trademarks and copy writes. Images, writings etc... All the posters and images and books were actually purchased for use and Hitler got his cut. A copy of Mein Kampf was was given to every newlywed couple and as awards to young Nazi faithfuls.

I would have to disagree that muzzies are buying these up.

The fraud that is the German’s shame for the holocaust better explains the large selling numbers.

Muzzies don’t need to buy this book to confirm their hatred of Jews.

Only whites need an “intellectual” basis.

Obama disproved the lie that Israel owns the US govt. Was always the DUMBEST lie around.

Jews are half the world’s billionaires and .000003 percent of the world population :) Good for them!!

If you don’t like it, become a billionaire.

Plus that leaves half of billionaires who aren’t Jews. AND Jewish liberal money did nothing to affect this election.

So two more lies out the window. That they control the world with money and that they can sway US elections.

Their crime rate against each other and others is right there with the asians. Almost nil. Besides organized crime. But EVERY group has that.

Nope, they’re mostly just 18 million hard working people and they only fall short in their voting in the US :)

Though in NYC they voted the MOST of any group against Deblasio!

They’re not perfect. Only Americans with Italian blood are :)

Pretty soon it seems that the Germans will be working on writing a new book called ‘Mein Ka’bah’

>>Mein Kampf was ghost-written by literary wordsmith Rudolf Hess. Even Hitler thought he was nuts.

Lots of nutty ghosts hiding in the historical/cultural attic it seems...

============

Julius Streicher, (Trial of The Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 1945, Vol. 12)

[Note, although Streicher had a part in the race laws, Hitler outlined his religious justification for the race laws in his private notes before he came into power.

When asked if there were any other anti-Semitic publications, other than Der Stürmer, published in Germany, Streicher replied:

Anti-Semitic publications have existed in Germany for centuries. A book I had, written by Dr. Martin Luther, was, for instance, confiscated. Dr. Martin Luther would very probably sit in my place in the defendants’ dock today, if this book had been taken into consideration by the Prosecution. In this book The Jews and Their Lies, Dr. Martin Luther writes that the Jews are a serpent’s brood and one should burn down their synagogues and destroy them...

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=A+book+I+had%2C+written+by+Dr.+Martin+Luther%2C+was%2C+for+instance%2C+confiscated.+Dr.+Martin+Luthe&t=hs&ia=web

============

In that essay Luther also ranted about "tyranical god" -- making the state of his faith questionable: ie, had he lost it?  Maybe that's why the negligent "leaders" of, at least some, religious organizations bearing his name are so terrified of raising the subject.... at the same time they quote, and legitimize, Luther again, and again, and again - without qualification.

Semites all come from Shem, son of Noah. Semite is just an English variaton of Shemite.

I browse 4chan a lot so I can understand the mentality behind it.

Basically, a lot of people are fed up with the bs that is the status quo in Germany, and turn to Nazism out of spite. If you get demonized as a fascist for being a patriot, then some people literally are saying, “You know what, I am a Nazi! Sieg Heil and screw you!”

Plus a lot of people who are somewhat are of the brainwashing are falling for the Whitewashing of the Nazis as being these Anti-communist warriors that many fall victim too.

People are tired of people denying that the Soviet’s were just as bad if not worse than Fascism, so some delude themselves into whitewashing the Nazis to force the point.

So, because the right-wing is so damaged and suppressed a lot of people that would be normal Nationalists or at worst Reactionaries (which I don’t really see as “bad), are being pushed into Neo-Nazis.
