First part is worth reading, with the second part ymmv. Depends how interested you are in NS ideology and political strategy.

Pic related if pretty good if you liked the biographical part.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 17:06:57 2017 No.9373080 Nah. Hitler's personal views aren't all that important. Its not like people turn to it for insight. They turn to it to see how crazy he was./

Yes. I'm about a third of the way through, and it's surprisingly relevant for our times. That grasping for renewal in a time of imperial decay...

He is not a good writer, though. It would be a much more effective book if he related his anecdotes directly, rather than diluting them into generalities -- lots of "if a man should" "when one sees" and the like. Just tell the story.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 22:23:21 2017 No.9374403 The problem with Mein Kampf is that it is nearly impossible to give any valid criticism or praise to it other than the writing style since the ideas and person are so demonized.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 22:43:18 2017 No.9374472 Yes, read Stalag if you want it closer to the original.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 22:54:13 2017 No.9374511 >>9374403 >worrying about offending normies

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 22:56:18 2017 No.9374520 >>9371571 For historical value, if you want to. It's a pretty shit piece of literature though. Not really beneficial in anyway, only to see how insane the cunt was.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 23:01:23 2017 No.9374533 >>9371571 Aren't pretty much all coherent parts written by someone other than Hitler?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 12 23:02:59 2017 No.9374539 i could not get past the first few pages of jerking of other despotic morons egos.

It was actually all written by Rudolf Hess. While in prison Hitler would pace around ranting amd Hess would record what he said with a typewriter. The words are Hitler's own, they were just dictated. That is why the style is so shit: it was spoken rather than written.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 13 12:54:11 2017 No.9376389 >>9371571 yes read it, all knowledge regardless whether it is useful to human life , is important

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 13 13:10:43 2017 No.9376432 >>9371571 Of course you should read it, OP. Read it for the same reason that I wish to read it; to get a personal insight as to just how fucked Hitler was in the head.
