Mein Kampf
Author: Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler is responsible for the deaths of millions of people: Russians, Jews, Germans and other nationalities. Destruction of ships, churches, villages, cities, and the lives of an entire generation in Europe. Yet out of the inferno of Second World War came inventions like rockets, jet engine, radar, atomic bomb and many more which changed t... more »he world forever. Hitler?s rise to power was the result of the punitive Peace Treaty of Versailles at the end of the First World War and the degradation of the traditional German ruling class in the same war. Hitler was an Austrian painter (artist) without higher education. The primary sources of his knowledge at the time of writing this book were his experience as a German soldier on the front in France and newspapers. Hitler was arrested with several of his comrades and imprisoned in the fortress of Landsberg on the River Lech. On February 26th, 1924, he was brought to trial before the VOLKSGERICHT, or People's Court in Munich. He was sentenced to detention in a fortress for five years. With several companions, who had been also sentenced to various periods of imprisonment, he returned to Landsberg am Lech and remained there until the 20th of the following December, when he was released. In all he spent about thirteen months in prison. It was during this period that he wrote the first volume of MEIN KAMPF. If we bear all this in mind we can account for the emotional stress under which MEIN KAMPF was written. Hitler was naturally incensed against the Bavarian government authorities, against the footling patriotic societies who were pawns in the French game, though often unconsciously so, and of course against the French. That he should write harshly of the French was only natural in the circumstances. At that time there was no exaggeration whatsoever in calling France the implacable and mortal enemy of Germany. Such language was being used by even the pacifists themselves, not only in Germany but abroad. And even though the second volume of MEIN KAMPF was written after Hitler's release from prison and was published after the French had left the Ruhr, the tramp of the invading armies still echoed in German ears, and the terrible ravages that had been wrought in the industrial and financial life of Germany, as a consequence of the French invasion, had plunged the country into a state of social and economic chaos. In France itself the franc fell to fifty per cent of its previous value. Indeed, the whole of Europe had been brought to the brink of ruin, following the French invasion of the Ruhr and Rhineland.
