Hitler was not allowed to be a Nazi!!

Actually Von Poop i have read Mein Kampf and found it fascinating, i don't care how badly it is written, or how uninformative it is, or how boring it is, and the lack of insight as you may put it, the one fact is that Mein Kampf is a window to what Fuhrer Adolf Hitler was about, it is essential to read the book to understand the man, no other book in history will ever come close to understanding Hitler, this was autobiographical, it was Hitler's vision for the future.
Yes Fuhrer Adolf Hitler's might have been born Austrian but he never saw himself as Austrian but as German. To finish of i am proud that i have my own personal copy of Mein Kampf, and any military book collector worth a damn would have a copy of it in their collection.

 

It hardly offers any window into the mind of the man for me, or at least no more than one of his less well-formed speeches.
The sheer turgidity and incoherence mean it's a constant disappointment when looking for what he really thought, there are no surprises there and it's generalist nature offers little real specific detail, it's riddled with short term politicised statements that were turned back on or discarded later. The biggest insight I find it offers is just how raving he was to churn out such a dense racist tract, prison or not.
For insight into the man a very poor starting place I reckon, you'll learn much more on the man in a few chapters of Kershaw or Bullock, and get a better contemporary appreciation from Shirer.

Cheers,

I would have thought you could only find Mein Kampf fascinating if you were fascinated with the man that wrote it. It's a terrible book.

 

I give up on this thread lol, I have been out classed and you guys are more informed about hitler then I am, so yield to your supremacy lol

 

Glad you admit other people are more informed. If you started that way instead of spouting rubbish much grief would have been avoided.

 

Well I am always ready to admit when I am wrong or out done. Just as I have done here.

 

That takes guts. Kudos to you, then!

 

Fair play mate, I was going to give you positive reputation to you for that but I can't as I'd negged your other thread .
Hope I was some help with Grandad's unit to make up for it.

 

Yes you were thankyou, and don't worry about the negative marks it happens, you cant win them all.
