Well, go to the online version, it's certainly not worth any money.

Hitler's original title was "Four and a Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice". Anyone who had to be told that should become just "My Struggle", as Hitler had to, should be kept far away from writing materials. (and even then, he dictated it, but, well.....)

Not to be a spoiler but try to be sitting down when you read the part on immigration.

Many people think the book made Hitler popular but it was actually failing until he became better known

Thanks for the advice! I will take it. You can be sure.

But for example Holocaust denial and "incitement to hatred".........

Why reading the book if you can watch the movie?

Mein Kampf - der Film (2010, Austria)

No its a movie and has been played in the cinema only since yesterday. Its based however on a theatre play (from famous Hungarian jewish playwriter George Taboris (1914-2007), premiere in 1987 at the Viennese Akademietheater) and is a bit of a farce but not a slapstick one I think and only roughly based on historical events and his closest friend there is a jew from the Männerheim where he lived.

In its essence its the story how a man turned into a monster.
