About the book (German) : Mein Kampf ist ein autobiografisches Manifest des NSDAP-Führers Adolf Hitler aus dem Jahr 1925. Das Werk beschreibt den Prozess, durch den Hitler zum Antisemiten wurde, und skizziert seine politische Ideologie und Zukunftspläne für Deutschland. Band 1 von Mein Kampf wurde 1925 und Band 2 1926 veröffentlicht. Das Buch wurde zuerst von Emil Maurice, dann von Hitlers Stellvertreter Rudolf Heß herausgegeben.
Hitler begann Mein Kampf im Gefängnis nach seinem gescheiterten Staatsstreich in München im November 1923 und einem Prozess wegen Hochverrats im Februar 1924, in dem er zu einer sehr leichten Haftstrafe von fünf Jahren verurteilt wurde. Obwohl er anfangs viele Besucher empfing, widmete er sich bald ganz dem Buch.
Als er fortfuhr, wurde ihm klar, dass es ein zweibändiges Werk sein musste, wobei der erste Band Anfang 1925 erscheinen sollte. Der Gouverneur von Landsberg bemerkte damals, dass „er [Hitler] hofft, dass das Buch viele finden wird Auflagen, die es ihm ermöglichen, seinen finanziellen Verpflichtungen nachzukommen und die zum Zeitpunkt seines Prozesses entstandenen Kosten zu bestreiten." Nach langsamen Anfangsverkäufen wurde das Buch nach Hitlers Machtergreifung 1933 zu einem Bestseller in Deutschland.
About the Book (English) : Mein Kampf is an autobiographical manifesto written by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler in 1925. The work describes the process by which Hitler became an anti-Semite and outlines his political ideology and future plans for Germany. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. The book was first edited by Emil Maurice, then by Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess.
Hitler began Mein Kampf in prison after his failed coup d'état in Munich in November 1923 and a treason trial in February 1924, at which he was sentenced to a very light sentence of five years. Although he initially received many visitors, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book.
As he continued, he realized it had to be in two volumes, with the first volume due out in early 1925. The governor of Landsberg remarked at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes that the book will find many editions which will enable him to meet his financial obligations and defray the costs incurred at the time of his trial." After slow initial sales, the book became became a bestseller in Germany after Hitler came to power in 1933.
About the Author : Adolf Hitler (German: [ˈad.ɔlf ˈhɪt.lɐ] (listen); 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician who was the dictator of Germany from 1933 until his death in 1945. He rose to power as the leader of the Nazi Party, becoming the chancellor in 1933 and then assuming the title of Führer und Reichskanzler in 1934. During his dictatorship, he initiated World War II in Europe by invading Poland on 1 September 1939. He was closely involved in military operations throughout the war and was central to the perpetration of the Holocaust, the genocide of about six million Jews and millions of other victims.
Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary and was raised near Linz. He lived in Vienna later in the first decade of the 1900s and moved to Germany in 1913. He was decorated during his service in the German Army in World War I. In 1919, he joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), the precursor of the Nazi Party, and was appointed leader of the Nazi Party in 1921. In 1923, he attempted to seize governmental power in a failed coup in Munich and was imprisoned with a sentence of five years. In jail, he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). After his early release in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting pan-Germanism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. He frequently denounced international capitalism and communism as part of a Jewish conspiracy.
By November 1932, the Nazi Party held the most seats in the German Reichstag, but did not have a majority. As a result, no party was able to form a majority parliamentary coalition in support of a candidate for chancellor. Former chancellor Franz von Papen and other conservative leaders persuaded President Paul von Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as chancellor on 30 January 1933. Shortly after, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act of 1933 which began the process of transforming the Weimar Republic into Nazi Germany, a one-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism. Hitler aimed to eliminate Jews from Germany and establish a New Order to counter what he saw as the injustice of the post-World War I international order dominated by Britain and France. His first six years in power resulted in rapid economic recovery from the Great Depression, the abrogation of restrictions imposed on Germany after World War I, and the annexation of territories inhabited by millions of ethnic Germans, which gave him significant popular support.
Hitler sought Lebensraum (lit. 'living space') for the German people in Eastern Europe, and his aggressive foreign policy is considered the primary cause of World War II in Europe. He directed large-scale rearmament and, on 1 September 1939, invaded Poland, resulting in Britain and France declaring war on Germany. In June 1941, Hitler ordered an invasion of the Soviet Union. By the end of 1941, German forces and the European Axis powers occupied most of Europe and North Africa. These gains were gradually reversed after 1941, and in 1945 the Allied armies defeated the German army. On 29 April 1945, he married his longtime lover, Eva Braun, in the Führerbunker in Berlin. Less than two days later, the couple committed suicide to avoid capture by the Soviet Red Army. Their corpses were burned.
Historian and biographer Ian Kershaw describes Hitler as "the embodiment of modern political evil". Under Hitler's leadership and racially motivated ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of about six million Jews and millions of other victims, whom he and his followers deemed Untermenschen (subhumans) or socially undesirable. Hitler and the Nazi regime were also responsible for the killing of an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war. In addition, 28.7 million soldiers and civilians died as a result of military action in the European theatre. The number of civilians killed during World War II was unprecedented in warfare, and the casualties constitute the deadliest conflict in history.
