Mein Kampf

[Captain Turdseye]

Has anyone on here read it?

 

Let's be clear, I'm not a nazi and I don't want this thread invaded by the usual suspects (I mean the political debaters on here, not the Germans). It's just that I'm getting more and more intrigued by WW2 as I get older. I can't get enough of it and was wondering whether or not it's worth a read.

 

Does it shed any more light on Hitler's life and thinking than the hundreds of documentaries that have been made about him? Is it a boring read? Were you glad you read it? Sickened by it? All that kind of shit.

 

I need the GF to decide for me. Should I read it or give it a swerve?

 

It should also be said that if I go to the library to borrow or reserve it, it will be on Sunday as that's usually the day I take my girls there for a little arts and crafts session they love to do. Not only will the librarian judge me but I'll also get home with them saying "Look, Mummy, we made fuzzy owls and Daddy got Hitler's autobiography."

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Never had any interest in reading it myself. A mate of mine said it was a very hard read as Hitler certainly wasn't a budding author and he said the book itself is cringe worthy. 

[General Dryness]

Before we know it you'll be changing your name to Kaptain von Scheise Auge and goose stepping all about the place.

 

Just you wait and see what Winston Usher does when you try to annex the GF. Bloody jerry schweinehund.

[Trumo]

Do you still look like you did in that photo you posted? If so, the librarian has every right to get a little worried.

[Lee909]

I've not read it yet.

Ordering it or buying it in the shops would surely get you onto some list.

 

I do want to read it purely because i have a interest in the war. I'll give it a go at some point

[Captain Turdseye]

Haha! I thought the same thing myself.

I read it once upon a time - there are hundreds of good WW2 history books I'd read before that....

 

 

[Moo]

I've never read it but not really had the desire as I've always got the impression it's not a very good read.

 

Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer is the one you should try, if you've not already. A brilliant insightful read, the best I've ever read on the subject /WW2.

[Trumo]

 

After much careful deliberation, Turdsy decided to dress down for his visit to the library.

[polymerpunkah]

Go to a used book-store--stay off that NSA database!

 

I read it years ago, don't remember much of it.

 

I'd recommend Richard Evans's Third Reich Trilogy.

[JohnnyH]

Yeah, I read it before. It's a bit of a hard read. Like a poorly written history book.

 

I always hoped you'd open it to just see a party invite saying "Party at Mein Kampf!" "BYOJ".

[torahboy]

Had a look at it years ago. Rambling and all a bit arid, even by political philosophy standards. He starts going on about 'bastard' races and, for anyone who thinks his anti-Semitism was just a spur of the moment war thing, his attitude towards Judaism and Jews is clearly stated. Lots of references to the betrayal of the Aryan peoples. Overall, mad shite that would only appeal to right wing male virgins.

As a follow-up to that, try Gitta Sereny's Albert Speer: His Battle with the Truth.

Awesome!

 

Anyway, is it possible to goose-step in cargo pants?

Those boys are rocking at least two knee pockets each.

 

Efficiency.

[Fowlers God]

Have you seen the rise and fall of Hitler's in Ch4- very clearly said it was a loaf of shite and boring

Kingsmill? That is garbage bread to be fair.

 

I did see that but C4 class Gogglebox as prime time entertainment so I'm happy to hear the opinions of people on here instead.

Nothing to do with Hitler, but why are you a cock?

[TheHowieLama]

Mein Champf - Happy Birthday!!!

Might be time you listened to the wife and went to bed, Dan.

I'm going. Thanks...... wow

FFS, not this again.

 

Hitler has gone. Get over it.

Really not sure on believing a word Speer said to be honest. He gets off without the same shit as the other Nazi's but i really dont but his 'we were wrong/betrayed,shit.

 

"I tried to kill Hitler"

You mean you had a quick idea but never even attempted to carry it out.

 

I dont buy it at all.

 

The war crimes drama that was done a while back was pretty good.

 

As was Brian Cox performance of Hermann Göring in Nuremberg
