The academics leading the project to publish the first edition of Mein Kampf in German since the end of the Second World War have argued that their version will be an “antidote” to the hate-filled original.
Christian Hartmann, one of four historians who worked full-time for three years to create a fully annotated edition of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto for publication on January 8, said that the book would be the “anti-Mein Kampf”.
On December 31, the copyright on the book, held by the Bavarian finance ministry since 1945, expired. In preparation, the state of Bavaria commissioned the Munich-based Institut für Zeitgeschichte (IfZ) to create a version that rebuts and dissects the original.
IfZ director Andreas Wirsching explained in an address to the Foreign Correspondents Society in Berlin: “It would be irresponsible to allow Hitler’s book, which from 2016 will be in the public domain, to circulate uncommented through the German media.
“Our critical edition confronts Hitler’s lies through counter-statement and in footnotes. It destroys the myth around the book by exposing the fatal results of Hitler’s racist propaganda, for example in the notorious Nuremberg Laws.”
Both Mr Wirsching and Mr Hartmann agree that the new edition is necessary “as an antidote” given the growing popularity of the far-right in Germany.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf as a heroic epic for his followers after his failed coup in 1923. In it he describes his – partly faked – background as a soldier and revolutionary, and urges a war against the enemies of the “superior” Germans – the Marxists and the Jews, whom he describes as “the calamity of the world”.
Until its publication was outlawed in 1945, the book sold 12 million copies worldwide.
Mr Wirsching said Germany intended to maintain its ban on publication of the original, adding that: “The German democracy is stable enough to accept our critical edition.”
Yad Vashem has expressed support for the new edition, said Mr Wirsching, but added that some Holocaust survivors reject it “because Mein Kampf is a symbol and it will be published in Germany, the country of the perpetrators”.
He stressed, however, that the book was available on the internet and in second-hand bookshops anyway, “so we want to confront it as intensively as possible, which is what the Shoah victims would have wished”.
In 2012, German historians discussed the plan to create the annotated edition with representatives of Jewish organisations, and most Jewish and Israeli historians backed the project.
Some 250 copies have been ordered; the IfZ said that any profits would be donated to appropriate charities.
Mr Wirsching said he welcomed translations and added that the IfZ plans to produce an online edition for 2017.

Call it the scofield reference Mein Kampf-the German people need another book burning.
Gary made a succinct ,and brilliant comment….” The Scofield reference version of Mein Kampf “.
As has been done with Hitler’s personal image for decades .The shading of his complexion ,tossling of his hair and puffing of his eyes, to mar his relative youth ,and vaunted ,immaculately groomed ,and attired personal charisma,the Jews have been distorting his motivations ,plans and circumstances.
MEIN KAMF is the most lied about book in history ,second on!y to the Bible.
Just as Adolf Hitler is the most lied about mortal ,with Christ the most lied about diety.
Hitler’s work,dictated to his loyal aide Rudolf Hess, while incarcerated in Landsburg Prison without reference material is biographical work ,combined with a political treatise on the Fuhrers vision ,and experience in fighting the International Jews .
It’s about Germanys travails ,and its path to liberation culturally ,spiritually ,economically ,and politically.
It’s about Gentile UNITY ,and NOT ” ,racism genocide, eugenics, anti ” God” ,or ANY religion,or world conquest plans….it pushed for peace with England, and France.
It only demanded the elimination of the Versailles Treaty ,and return of German territory torn from Germany by it.
Nor does it contain any ,” occult ” endorsements or any such other nonsense the Jews have cast out into the ignorant world as to impress ” mass men”.
The work gives instructions about the Jews methods ,machinations ,and influence.( ” The big lie” is NOT endorsed by Hitler, but exposed by him,as the Jews greatest contrivance) .
It gives productive advice on how to create a political movement of temporal influence ,but of epic proportions .
For years the editions available in main stream book stores are so cut up,it is made practically unreadable !
Finally released in a dying ,and Jew occupied Germany ,it is going to be so cut and pasted ,as to render it useless ,and indeed a hindrance to any German seeking sovereignty ,and truth .
The best version of Adolf Hitler’s powerful work,is the Murphy Translation ,available from the Barnes Review.
To get a foundation for the book, Judaism From Mosses To Lenin ,by Dietrich Echart, Foundations Of The 19 th Century ,by Houston Stewert Chamberlain ,will give you some reference to the Fuhrers influences ,Classical School economics of List.
The Crowd, by Gustave La Bon.
The Jews will never let Adolf Hitler rest…his powerful revelations about them, and ability to find solutions to liberate an entire nation from them ,is something they will never get over !
This liberation is something the world is running out of time from ….as the Jews NWO power is almost complete …this means enslavement of every ,and all Gentiles which the Fuhrer…” One lonely little man ” ,he called himself took on spectacularly .

Perhaps if the right gov’t gets in power some day, we’ll put the lying pig Hartmann and his associates in jail. German schoolchildren can visit and walk by, viewing these animals behind bars and see the men that hate them and sought to destroy them with lies and falsifications.
The conformist German historians are liars and cowards. If a terrible accident did away with this scum Germany would be much better off.
It was the Main Kampf the first book I read on the subject in 1965 in Spanish. I found it very interesting, aggressive to tell the truth. That one book made me start looking into more books on the subject. People were afraid to talk about it and people who denied the HoloHoax were intimidated, threatened, made fun of etc.. It was not until after 9/11 and after Jimmy Carter published his book “Peace Not Apartheid” when a cascade of books started coming up on this same subject. To me Main Kampf is one of the most eye opener books I ever read.
The real Mein Kampf along with David Irving books ,and the Greatest Story Never Told .TV should be smuggled into Germany !
