ADOLF HITLER MEIN KAMPF

[sherwood]

²Hi and thank you for letting me join this forum my name is Jackie.  I buy things from auction and often come across old books I have recently found a book titled Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf dated 1939 not a book I would read personally I have tried to do a little research but because of the nature of the book I'm not finding much information rather than it's a rare book ? Could anybody please give me more information on the book I have. Thank you.

Didn't German newly-weds get a copy of the book?

The book was widely circulated during the Nazi regime, but today editions of the book under the control of the government belonging to the Nazi party are banned in many countries due to its anti-Semitic and racist content.

Your book, dated 1939, is one of the early editions of 'Mein Kampf' during the Nazi regime. It could have collectible value, especially for historians or collectors of rare books

'Mein Kampf' has a pretty specific history. The book was widely distributed in Germany, especially after Hitler came to power in 1933. However, after World War II, many countries banned it due to its propagandistic content and connection to Nazism.

Always was interested in looking into the history, background and mind of one of the most charismatic characters in human history.

Not quite sure if I'd call Hitler charismatic....not in the usual definition of the word anyway!

I think that was the point of the post, to start an argument. There was a similar one a while ago concerning the Sex Pustols

Yes I did wonder about this post.

Yes, the person who posted on the Sex Pistols hasn’t been back and I’m sure this one won’t be.
