    Now that makes sense. I do believe the original is banned, leading to people (including me) thinking that it is banned period.

      “Mein Kampf” was never banned.

      The copyright was held by the state of Bavaria as the official heir of Hitler and they simply said “Nope, no new printings.”

      As the copyright ran out in 2015 everyone can copy and print it again. Though most don’t care, even the most right wing nutcracks realize that the book is rather badly written.

        One more thing: While “Mein Kampf” is only available at rather high prices the books of Vladimir Putin are available for FREE on Amazon as EBooks and the printed version is €1. He wrote even years ago straight forward that he is willing to start the third world war to make Russia Great again and even laid out the list of nations he wants to subjugate: Ukraine was the first step, but in his ideology he also claims Alaska, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and many many more nations. Overall he mentioned he would spare Germany, France and Italy but only because they have nukes and the US as their ally.
