Miscellaneous See other Miscellaneous Articles Title: Mein Kampf headed for German newsstands British publisher Peter McGee says he plans to publish excerpts from Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and sell them in Germany. “It is about time that the broader public is given the opportunity to deal with the original text,” he told Der Spiegel newsweekly. McGee says he will publish critical commentaries alongside the excerpts from Mein Kampf, which will go on sale in Germany the week after next. He plans to print three 15-page editions, with a print run of 100,000 each. The British publisher caused controversy back in 2009 when he published Zeitungszeugen (“Newspaper Witness”), which included annotated facsimiles of Nazi newspapers like Der Angriff and the Völkische Beobachter. The authorities in the state of Bavaria, which owns the copyright to Nazi publications, including Mein Kampf, confiscated more than 3,000 copies of Zeitungszeugen and pressed charges against McGee for publishing the texts. However, a Munich court ruled in 2009 that although the publication of Nazi propaganda is illegal, McGee was not breaking the law because his intention was not whip up racial hatred. The judges also ruled that printing Nazi swastikas from the original mastheads, which are generally outlawed in Germany, was legal in an educational context. McGee is, therefore, unlikely to face any legal hurdles over the publication of the extracts from Hitler’s book, which the future dictator wrote while serving time in prison in Munich for attempting to seize power in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, greeted McGee’s plans, saying he hoped that it would “go some way to demystifying” the book. The Local/smd Poster Comment: by Katinkaxx The reprinting of commented excerpts is nothing new; e.g. you can buy reprinted excerpts as a paperback version edited by Christian Zentner in every German bookshop. The only difference seems to be that the excerpts are now sold at a newsstand and not in a bookshop. And the original can be borrowed from university libraries or bought second-hand. This is all perfectly legal. The only thing that is not allowed is reprinting and selling the whole thing, because that would be copyright infringement. It will be interesting to see what will happen in 2016 when the copyright runs out. by Loth If we had never heard of Adolf Hitler before and if the translation of some of his speeches are correct. Many would agree with what he says. At least about international bankers. Parts of his speeches seem modern when he complains about all the unfair treatment Germany got after ww1. Perhaps like the PIIGS today. From what I understand at one point Germany wanted to just stop all the fighting in ww1 and go back to the way things were before the war. Germany was just tired of all the death, not losing the war. But the war was continued because America was manipulated into getting involved. The Zionists got Israel and the bankers got richer. This was one of Hitlers main complaints,the bankers getting richer off of Germany. by derExDeutsche Thank you Loth for putting it so eloquently... There is hardly ANY difference Germans today and Germans then. The Germans still blame the Bankers for the debt accumulated by their Government. And they also still blame 'Zionists'. The big secret is out. And to pretend it was has been a long time ago, and everything has changed. Ha. That generation is not even in its grave yet. Its the same tone, the only thing missing is the plan to take over Europe ... oh wait .... by reallybigdog @ Englishted For your information the Germans have been around for quite some time and so has Italians. But if you must revert to absolute stupidity which you appear to excel at then perhaps view the European continent based on tribes or whatever you can grasp in order to understand that between the period of 1480-1940: there were 278 wars involving European states. The percentage of participation by the principal states was: England, 28; France, 26; Spain, 23; Russia, 22; Austria, 19; Turkey, 15; Poland, 11; Sweden, 9; Netherlands, 8; Germany (Prussia), 8; Italy (Savoy-Sardinia), 9; and Denmark, 7.7 Its about actual history and not selective history as you wish to hide behind. Following world war 2 England continues to invade countries along with the US and Israel and this alone increases England's war tally atrocities to more than 30 wars over the last 600 years. So as far as history goes Germany and Italy have a lot more catching up to do compared to what you suggest. Say 24 wars give or take! Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
