Mein Kampf - 9788184950502

MEIN KAMPF is perhaps the only notable work written in two volumes by Adolf Hitler, in 1924. Hitler was arrested when he took out a mass demonstration in favour of national unity for the formation of a socialist German state. He was tried by the People's Court in Munich and subsequently, imprisoned for thirteen months where he wrote the first volume. The second volume was written after he was released.

He was highly influenced by two people, who were apparently the main architects of his mental aberration. One was Dr. Leopold Porsch, who taught him German Political History, and the other was Dr. Jorg Lanz Van Liebenfels, a defrocked monk who founded the Temple of the New Order, and whose theories stated that `the world belonged to the fair skinned and the superior Aryan race, and all others belonged to sub human culture.'

Mein Kampfwill give you an insight into one of the greatest evil geniuses of the last century; his political ideals, his beliefs and motivation, and his struggle to consolidate Germany into one great nation, and a Nazi-Third Reich.

The terror and the brutal treatment he unleashed during his years of power can be best said in his own words: "...Cruelty impresses, people want to be afraid of something. They want someone to whom they can submit with a shudder, the masses need that. They need something to dread..."

This great tyrant will go down in the history of the world. And all those who lived through the holocaust will shudder to think that such a man was ever born, and fervently wish that such a history would never repeat itself.

Includes internarionally acclaimed film Hitler: A Career Directed by Joachim C. Fest and Christian Herrendoerfen.

Joachim C. Fest's film, made in 1977, documents the Hitler period and attempts to give a rational and concrete account of that epoch. It also provides a basis for judgment. The film cannot change German history, it does not glorify it either. It does however illuminate it, especially for those who can no longer imagine what it was like.

None of the scenes in this film were reconstructed. They are without exception taken from authentic film and sound materials, original evidence from the Nazi period. This is also the case with the unusual and largely unknown sequences in colour. The film was compiled from more than 300,000 fect of film material, including many incomplete or unreleased scenes from German and foreign archives. Many unusual sequences come from private collections as well.
