When I spent a semester studying in Southern France, I took a class on Vichy France. The professor told us a story about how he needed a copy of Mein Kampf for his research. Several local bookstores wouldn't sell it to him. When he finally found one willingbto order him a copy, they insisted he take it in a plain bag so that if he lost it on a bus or subway no one would know it came from their store.

My grandfather was a WWII veteran and staunch US patriot. Among his library he owned a copy of Mein Kampf and Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. He insisted that all his grandchildren read them so we could see how easy it was to use intellectualism to convince people to be wholly evil and so we could identify public "hate" speech that was shrouded in ideology that sounded good.

I remember an interesting segment in a documentary I saw on Mein Kampf. An elderly man remembered being six years old and hearing his father talking to his friends at the dinner table. He snuck into the room to see what the grown-ups were talking about, and he was surprised to see his father holding up a copy of Mein Kampf. His friends were saying, “Hitler isn’t going to start a war. He’d be crazy to even try!” His father pointed to his copy of Mein Kampf and said, “Read this book! It’s right here, in his own words!” That’s the best argument against censorship I’ve ever heard.

Actually, he wrecked the economy by pouring *everything* into an all-or-nothing war while severing trade relations with all but Italy and (to a lesser extent) the USSR, to the point of where Germany was literally days away from economic collapse when he began his land-grabbing. The only way to fix that was through rampant looting of conquered nations, the idea being that the war would pay for itself. Unfortunately, most of that wealth was swiped by Hitler or his top cronies to personally enrich themselves, so they tried to make ends meet via slave labor. It wasn't enough. Hitler did not understand economics at all, nor did many of his cronies.

Great job, writer of this episode! 6 Years ago a big history and philosophy publishing house in The Netherlands recieved backlash for publishing a new translation of Oswald Spengler's The Decline of The West, as this book is deemed "undemocratic". I remember walking past a bookshop where the publishing house paid for advertisement posters to be put outside the venue. They read: "Why would you only read books that you agree with?" As a scholar in history and philosophy of culture I can attest that it is of vital importance that we read books that contain things we don't agree with. That is why my book shelve contains several works of an alt-right academic philosopher whose views are diametrically opposed to mine. It's like that saying: keep your friends near, but your enemies nearer. One has to properly understand their opponent in order to be able to defeat them or, as in this case, so that history will not repeat itself.

Decades ago when I was in undergrad, I had to read Mein Kampf for a course. I had the bright orange copy with the title and author in 30+ font in gothic lettering on the cover. So I was on the subway and then the bus reading. In those days I looked a bit like Charlie Manson with a long black leather fall coat. Not only was I reading a very conspicuous copy of Hitler's book, I was highlighting it. As I thought of it as just another textbook, I couldn't figure out why my fellow passengers were looking at me funny. And I went to York University in Toronto.

It’s not just that they were defeated. The British blockaded Germany throughout most of the war and after the armistice. Germany was starving for years. It was so bad that in the 1920s and 1930s, you could tell which kids were born during the war years because they were so small and under developed. Germany also had to rebuild their nation. The entire governmental system was changed: they went from having a Kaiser to having democratic elections, no one knew what type of party to establish, radical ideas were coming from every side (right and left). Much of their colonies were dissolved and given to the allies. And just to make this worse, the conditions imposed at Versailles almost ensured that animosity, conspiratorial thinking, and scapegoating would continue. Germany did not start ww1 just like Russia didn’t start it, England didn’t start it, France didn’t start it. This was a conflict between austro-Hungary and Serbia, and the diplomatic and international conditions of the time (alliance system, the fact that people weren’t avoiding war) all allowed for this conflict to happen, but Germany gets blamed. Oh, and the 1919 influenza pandemic which killed just as many as the war itself. The nazi party genuinely seemed like a viable option because they sold the idea that they would create a “greater community” of sorts that took care of each other-every family gets a car and access to vacation days at fancy resorts for cheap and every married couple gets a cheque for being married (and also mein kampf, a wedding gift from the father himself), and paid time off and they fixed the economy, industrialized Germany, upped agriculture. And also they were sticking up for Germany when it appeared to a lot of Germans like they were being bullied and controlled by the allies. Now tell me, given the state of our world right now and what happened with covid and the wars in the east, are we acting any different? All I’m saying is the average German, at least at first, becomes less confusing when you put everything into context on how they could appeal to the nazi party.

You could combine all the death and suffering caused by Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and every other despotic ruler that ever lived and it wouldn't beat what Islam has done. This is a stupid title and you should have thought it out better. If you doubt me I have several hundred pages of notes on it. I study a lot of things. WWII history has been a fascination of mine for over 30 years. I've been studying Islam since 2001. I know them both incredibly well. You might as well but Hitler was an evil s**t no doubt, however, he didn't even manage to kill the number of people that Islam does every 2 decades (roughly) for over 1400 years.

The “superior race” was determined by Darwinian biologists at the time. Hitler didn’t invent this “science”! He merely exploited the vile science of the day. There was a very strong adherence to the notion of human evolution at the time that “demonstrated” a genetic and racial hierarchy. These ideas were highly popular among western academics. It was due to the fact that this hierarchy was already commonly accepted that his ideas were able to get off the ground. No one at the time would have accepted these ideas simply because Hitler said them. The “trust the science” crowd had already paved the way for Hitler.

Notice the way that it posits that those who are not among the "naturally superior" and/or will or can not fight their way to the top DESERVE to be dispossessed, oppressed or eliminated -- and that those are the only two alternatives. So (a) blame the victim (b) make it so that the point is to get on top at all costs -- but this implies that the "struggle" will NEVER end since the only way to prevail is to always be fighting your way to the top and always asserting your superiority over some inferior. So whoever was not already on top would be at risk of being next chosen as a target.

People looked at me a bit funny as I carried it around; my creative writing teacher - who was Jewish - was a bit disturbed, but he came up to me and said, "you read that, and see how hateful that book really is!"

I remember reading through a bit of Mein Kampf out of curiosity in the bookstore many years ago. The first part was so boring and rambling that I couldn't get through much of it. I didn't want anyone to see me reading it though, so I was huddled over it in the back of the bookstore in an empty aisle, after which I slipped it back onto the shelf when nobody was looking. 😅 I'd like to give it a try again. It's important to know what the human mind is capable of, both good and evil.

I checked it out of the local public library while I was in high school. Only made it through the first three chapters. I saw it as the ramblings of an egomanic, and shortly returned it. After that, many times I wondered how many others gave it a similar treatment. This lack of daring to learn about uncomfortable things had a hand in the fruition of his vision. I plan on reading it with the understanding that all knowledge serves a purpose. Both sides must be understood to truly determine right from wrong.

Looking back, Hitler's rise to power is still one of the most fascinating topics we covered in school in History class. Wile radicalization of Germany and its politics was unavoidable after Versailles, it is mind-boggling that by sheer determination (grouned on hate and fanatism mind you) and exploiting a faulty constitution some random Austrian guy managed to take over Germany without force. With force meaning that he didn't start a civil war for his, what by German historians is rather called "Machtübernahme" (coming into power) than "Machtergreifung" (seizure of power/takeover). This man played the masses and (ab)used his political isnfluence to get himself into a position of absolute power, which sadly as we know resulted in the death of millions.

"Most evil book"? What about "Germany Must Perish!", published by J Theodor Kaufman in 1941, or the Talmud, not to mention all the books that detail how to sacrifice children in rituals? Between "Germany Must Perish!" and "Mein Kampf", only one of them called for the genocide of an entire people, and it wasn't "Mein Kampf". Wake up, folks; you are hearing only one side of history!

@@notchpoodles5864 They burned books written by marxist Jewish authors pushing anti-nationalist, anti-Christian, pro-LGBTQ degeneracy on the populace. Look up the sick experiments John Money did on children, he’s the father of the whole trans movement. The book burning was to protect German culture. Adolf didn’t even hate Jewish people until he saw what they were doing to his people. Many overlaps with what’s happened to the West over the last 100 years. Of course no history channel will risk covering this and get themselves cancelled, so you’ll have to research for yourself. It’s not a secret though, they just don’t teach it in school because Marxists have taken over the education system. This isn’t to say Hitler did nothing wrong, but whenever you hear someone is “just evil”, always consider that there’s more to the story and they may have had reasons for their actions that have been lost to time or covered up by people with stake in the game.

And yet Japanese Americans received reparations for their internment while the 11,000 Germans interned received nothing but the fear of retribution. And even today Japan can still maintain their ethnicity, race, culture, heritage, etc. as they don't let in all colors and creeds from all around the world to displace them like white people have been duped/guilted into doing. I never hear any Japanese being called an Asian Supremacist for their preference to keep Japan Japanese.

Okay I'm getting tired of Hitler being known as the most evil anything. Everything associated with him is the most evil. And no this doesn't mean I'm a fan. But there's literally six other people who lived during his time and after that were equally evil and even got away with their crimes unlike Hitler. Stalin wrote a book and he is actually praised yet he did everything Hitler did and more. Same thing with Mao. In fact all of these people's actions and books were influenced by the king of evil Karl Marx. Saying Hitler and everything associated with him as being the most evil is just redundant and makes him look more than just another socialist leader promoting economics and beliefs that will always lead to evil and destruction.
