Germany considers lifting 'Mein Kampf' ban

[MarkusS]

useless strategy , how many copy of it have been sold since then and how many copy have been distributed illegally ?
they could have made as the article suggested a copy with side-notes .

Not one copy has be sold legally and because of this is was pushed out of the broad society in germany. Who wants it can get it but no commercials are possible.

I read this book during school years (forgot which yeat it was) and anyone who has a bit of functioning grey matters in their head would think that Hitler was pretty insane.

A little in depth explanation as to why you reached such a conclusion would help, like: what part of the book made you think he was insane, etc??

That it sits on the shelf was the reason they got it.

Mein Kampf sold more than Five Million copies (that's 5,200,000) between 1926 and 1939[1]. By the end of WW2 more than Ten Million (10,000,000) copies were sold or distributed within Germany alone[2].

The book has been translated into more than 11 languages and has been the favorite of/read by many world leaders. It was the most popular book in Turkey in 2005[3] and it has remained a popular and best selling book in india for quite some time now [4].

”It is necessary that I shall die for my people. But my spirit will rise from the grave and the world shall know that I was right.” ~ Adolf Hitler

i too have a copy of mein kampf with me and have also read it. Hitler truly was a statesman but the chapters dedicated to the jews show his insanity and utter lack of logic.

Then you have failed to understand the message of Mein Kampf. You have to read the book with the understanding of the political atmosphere prevailing in Germany during the period of Weimar Republic. Hitler wasn't alone in his "anti-semetic" views, rather such views were prevalent throughout Europe before he even entered the political stage.

The Rise of Fourth Reich is visible.

Nahh, not possible so as long as there are American boots in Germany and the gov.t bows to international Jewish interests. IMHO and National Socialist type movement rising in Greece or Eastern Europe is more likely than in Germany, but even there such a party would have to face countless political obstacles.

well , I learned the hard way not to judge a book just by reading only some passages of it , by doing so you only get what the person who choose the passage want yo to get.

It didnt really sell that well, it was often gifted and as such counted as a sale.

Read it before during my not so long ago youth when I enjoyed all things national socialist, its a crap read to be honest.

It has been gifted only during the days of the Nazi gov.t, but i don't know from where you got the idea that the gifts were counted as sales?? And that certainly cannot apply today where Mein Kampf has been rated as best seller in multiple countries due to increase in sales of the book some 65 years after WW2 ended.

Well, regardless of that fact, the book is widely selling by well established publishing houses, even Houghton Mifflin Harcourt which is a well known American publishing house sells a different edition of Mein Kampf.
