Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.


Mein Kampf
by Adolf Hitler

Mein Kampf was a book written by Adolf Hitler in the 1923, after he was sentenced to go to jail for five years for the cause of taking part in the Beer Hall Putsch. The title of this book 'Mein Kampf' in english meant 'My struggle'. Mein Kampf was a title short for Viereinhalb Jahre (des Kampfes) gegen Lüge, Dummheit und Feigheit, or Four and a Half Years (of Struggle) Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice. The book was a mixture of autobiography, political ideas and an explanation of the techniques of propaganda. In this book Hitler also described the Germans as the Aryan race, which basically means that they're the master of races. Hitler believes that Germans as the Aryan race, should have the rights to take over all the lands. However, Hitler also believed that the Aryan race was being threatened by the Jews, who he described as dirty, liars, lazy, and etc,. In Mein Kampf Hitler declared that: "The external security of a people in largely determined by the size of its territory." If he won power Hitler promised to take over Russian's land that would give both protection and living space for the German people.
