Good. It's counterproductive to ban the book, as it creates an air of mystery centered around it that makes it even more attractive and edgy.

I can't stress enough how true this is. Hitler himself didn't even mean it as a proselytizing device, it was something written to party members (i.e people who were already in that camp).

Yeah, no. See, there is this thing called puberty that makes every human being curious about icky, nasty sex.

^ This.

Also, Hitler does sound like a whiny angsty teenager in Mein Kampf.

Banning books is almost never a good thing, glad to see this ideological mission statement uncensored so people can see just what sort of things were going through the mind of a madman. As for the article, this should definitely be re released without commentary. Allow people to draw their own conclusions, do not force some sort of narrative alongside the work.

Yeah, it gets more respect than it deserves because the taboo makes people take it more seriously. After all the hype, I was expecting it to be more interesting than it actually is.

There are much better things to read, even for someone that is interested in Nazis. Like I got this book about u-boats... The pictures are really sexy. U-boats are mean, though. They fight monitors.

Not because of bare skin. Its because of boobs and such.

It's because of nipples, not boobs, otherwise cleavage would be banned, as would bikinis.
Nipples being those things that men have too.

I am a bloke and I have boobs. Probably a comfy B cup.
Yet I can flash these around as much as I like. A women with an A cup? Nope, that's wrong. Apparently. For some reason no-one can give me other than "teh boobies".
