      It’s legal. An annotated version, with neither the swastika nor a picture of the greasy Nazi fuck, was published a few years back and tens of thousands were sold, primarily to German libraries and schools. It’s a good study on how shitheads think.

        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.
