Scholars to publish ‘Mein Kampf’ in Germany

A German think tank says it will publish some 4,000 copies of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto “Mein Kampf” next month, when the copyright on the notorious screed expires.

The printing, the first in Germany since the end of World War II, will be annotated by commentary from experts at the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich, which studies the history of Nazism.

“We wanted literally to surround Hitler with our comments,” Christian Hartmann, the lead expert on the team producing the book, said at the announcement Tuesday, according to UPI.
