BERLIN – Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, banned from German bookstores, will soon be available from newspaper kiosks after a British publisher said he would print excerpts from the text in Germany.
However, Bavaria state, which owns the copyrights to the Nazi vision of Aryan racial supremacy, said it was considering legal steps to block publication.
Reprinting the Nazi dictator’s autobiography, which outlines his ambitions to seize vast areas of land in eastern Europe to provide living space for the so-called master race, is outlawed in Germany, except for academic study.
The first of three 16-page extracts will be published this month, Peter McGee, head of London-based publishing firm Albertas Ltd said.
