Subject: Re: [INDOLOGY] Hitler and MLBD

And it is most probably a pirated edition. Hitler's Mein Kampf is still under copyright in Germany (copyright ends 70 years after the author's death, i.e. in 2015). Holder of rights is the Bavarian government in Munich and they are generally very restrictive in granting printing permission. If they do then mostly for commented selections for scholarly purposes (recently the government has denied rights for a publication of a new critical edition that is being prepared by German historians).

All the best
