Mein Kampf
Anyone read the book? Just got it today and looking forward to it just wondered if anyone one else had read it. If so what did you think?

Re: Mein Kampf
A must read for every open thinking person, gives you a pointer to Hitlers hatred of the Jews Gipsies and mentally defective. The Houlocast was spawned in this book. The results were a tragedy of his twisted thinking, but read Alex nothing like education for broadening your mind.

Re: Mein Kampf
Hitler, about a good an author as he was an artist.
He incidentally attended Liverpool Art School, as did your's truly, but I was more successful.

So that's where Hitler was taught his 'soapbox' manner no better 'rabbiter' than a scouse, look who's always in the front row in a strike, or running it

Supposedly. It's a question in Trivial Pursuits, so it must be true!
The art school acknowledges he did enroll there, and Herr Hitler Senior did work at a hotel in Liverpool around that time.
Hitler, Lennon, Rindy.
What more illustrious alumni could a college hope for!

Re: Mein Kampf
Researching a bit, it was actually Hitler's brother who moved to Liverpool for work, and not his father.
'Alois Hitler, Jr. the half-brother of Adolf Hitler lived in the city, was married, and had a child. There is a rumour that Adolf visited Liverpool in 1911 before the outbreak of World War I, and that he drank in the Poste House pub on Cumberland Street.'

Re: Mein Kampf
This book was, mostly, written by Adolph Hitler while he was in prison for treason. If you get through the whole of it you'll have done well. I've read extracts from it and it was tedious.
The section about the Jewish race was interesting, in as much as it showed how warped and deranged the man's mind was. The whole book, in fact, is written in much the same vein with half-truths and lies manipulated to prove his points.

Re: Mein Kampf
I've read it, it took forever and it put me to sleep a lot of the time. He used a lot of long intelligent sounding words in the wrong context, so its difficult to understand what he's trying to mean sometimes, but overall I think its brilliant.
I'm guessing your are quite young from the way your post sounds, but correct me if i'm wrong, but I advise that you have a dictionary at hand if u want to make sure you understand it all completely correctly. Not all of the words are commonly used today really and if your young, like myself, you will have a more difficult job than most people who attempt to read it.
I think Hitler was a great leader, but powermad and unfortunatly killed alot of people, but he taught the world a lesson and the nazi period of germany has affected law all over the world today to ensure the same thing is less likely to happen again, and its a very important area of history.
Also Garinda, I came across a website selling his paintings for quite a few grand, so well done for doing better than that. I quite like a few of his paintings. Do you ever have exhibitions? I dont think i've ever seen your work on here and I dont know your name to know whether u have done well in galleries.
