I forget who and where but some comedian types were discussing Germany immigration backlash from their right wing especially following the assaults on New Year, this sounds like a Red Eye thing, one of the guys seated said something like, "It's always a bad idea to pit Germans against racial minority." The panel sprayed their drinks as if he said something radical.
How does it end? I never read it.
The way I understand it, the final solution would not be in the book, that came later. *looks*
... several passages in Mein Kampf are undeniably of a genocidal nature.[10] Hitler wrote "the nationalization of our masses will succeed only when, aside from all the positive struggle for the soul of our people, their international poisoners are exterminated"
Wow. Several translations. Under English translations: Dugdale abridgment Reynal and Hitchcock translation Murphy translation Stackpole translation and controversy Cranston translation and controversy Manheim translation Also excerpts: British Embassy Berlin Duchess of Atholl B.D. Shaw Sen. Alan Cranston
Official Nazi translation, previously unknown released 2008.
The book ends with "conclusion" ---- psych! But before that: Chapter 15: The Right of Emergency Defense. That's how the book ends.
A bit weid isn't it? They're uncovering their buried history while we're burring ours. I was thinking of the replication slave quarters at Gunston Hall. They have to go. Just like the ones at Bossier City had to go. I looked in Google Earth and the place a friend and I snuck around and explored, a completely played out plantation, at one time owned all the land, all the pecan trees where our homes are built, just petered out.
I could write a book.
Okay, here goes.
We approached the place obliquely making several approaches from the side and the back over a period of weeks. We cased the place. As you do.
It wasn't far from a 7-11 type place were we bought little boxes of saltpeter, don't even ASK me what that stuff is used as regular grocery item, but we used it make gunpowder.
As I say, we approached the place from the side, a horse stable is situated running parallel with highway and next to the BIG house is the farthest point of entry. The whole place was empty. Not a single horse. Just evidence of rats that chewed right through the ceramic brick inside, each its own hollow rat's nest.
Over several visits farther and farther we penetrated onto the property never interrupted with whoever lived there and explored tiny cabins immediately in back, as if your own back yard. And the two of us boys thought, "interesting little outdoor resort cabins ... oh, shit."
If the BIG house is still there, then it's a real estate office. I found it. The stables are gone. The facade is changed. The whole place is built up with low level industrial type business buildings. Everything CHANGED. For the better.
I don't want to do a search for it, lest some spybot on my computer trips off some alarm somewhere, putting me on a list. And then, God forbid I want to go to some funeral and I won't be allowed to get on a plane, all because I was curious about a book.
A bit weird isn't it? They're uncovering their buried history while we're burying ours.
If progressives like Schmendrik were halfway honest, which they never will be, they would admit that they want to expunge America, or as they would spell it, Amerika. Hitler didn't want to expunge Germany. Merkel possibly does want to expunge Germany. Or she's merely confused. But most German progressives, who still retain a respect for history, are not as far gone as our domestic variety. So no, it's not weird at all.
I actually like Hitler references. They do seem to hit the spot a lot, especially when talking about the dangers of: socialism, gun control, top down government, charismatic leaders, cults of personality, a one-sided press, using government to punish citizens, dictators, etc. Pretty much everything the left is enamored with.
The problem with HItler is what Godwin's law brought to light. Referencing on line discussions, Hitler inevitably came up rendering the discussion over. People threw their hands up lobbing the Hitler grenade.
And so the dangers of: socialism, gun control, top down government, charismatic leaders, cults of personality, a one-sided press, using government to punish citizens, dictators et all started to get a pass do to the overuse of Hitler.
It's not people's fault that we have to have a satan when satan won't do.
Here's a link to a Book of the Month edition published eight months before Germany invaded Poland. Scroll down for a discussion in the reviews about different translations.
Also if you use the 'look inside' function of this second edition, you can scroll down and find the translator's intro, which explains the historical context; other countries and the Catholic church trying to dismember Germany.
I think the Godwin alert itself has replaced the Hitler reference as the discussion ender. The Hitler reference is a valid exploration of the dangers of certain policies or political inclinations, and it warns both sides. If a Hitler reference is made, it should either be excepted, or countered with why it's not applicable to the argument. The reality of Nazi Germany is a very useful bit of history to understand the dangers of human weakness, self-destructiveness, and group dynamics on a national scale. Hitler was not an exceptional man, and although the German people made supremely bad choices, they did not do so by going outside of the normal human range. There is much to be learned by remembering it, and the lesson it teaches. A wise man once said: "Those who forget the lessons of history can really fuck things up."

I would put a link to the source page but as of this post it appears to be inaccessible.
They all want to read how it ends.
amp is right.
They want to see what it says.
As it's supposed to be a hideously boring book, they may be disappointed.
Or they may think the Narzis weren't that big a deal.

See? I get that... lol.. Now, why didn't i think of that?
Too scared to even think.
Is it Amazon?

Who needs that?
Reddit...
Ten bucks says most of those were bought as collectibles... First legal printing since WW2!
That makes sense.
When asked for comment, a blonde U.S. presidential candidate said, "It's gonna be yooooooooge!"
Dolf trilled his r's like an eyetalian.
He also admired the Musselini

Hitlary said that?
What would be the equivalent in this country? Maybe the first batch of Cuban cigars sells out?
People naturally want what's been forbidden. Don't you people have kids?
Das Kapital never reached that cult like status did it?

Where was Das Kapital banned and then put back on sale again?
If Hitlery thought she could bag some cash, she would flubber nekkid on top of that book..

You know who else liked that book?
HITLER!
This whole post needs a Godwin alert, but seeing R&B here is pretty much the same thing.

Hitler was just trying to create a safe space free of uncomfortable ideas and triggering opinions. The man was ahead of his time.
