Adolf Hitler publishes Mein Kampf.
“Mein Kampf” (My Struggle) is an autobiographical manifesto written by Adolf Hitler, the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party). It was first published in two volumes in 1925 and 1926. In the book, Hitler outlines his political ideology, his plans for the future of Germany, and his views on race and anti-Semitism.
The book is divided into two volumes:
Volume One: A Reckoning – In this volume, Hitler discusses his childhood, the early years of the Nazi Party, and his time in Vienna and Munich. He also details his experiences during World War I and his subsequent involvement in politics.
Volume Two: The National Socialist Movement – This volume elaborates on Hitler’s ideology, including his plans for the reorganization of the German state and society. It includes his views on propaganda, race, and the concept of Lebensraum (living space), which advocated for German expansion to the east.
“Mein Kampf” is often studied to understand the origins and development of Nazi ideology, but it is also recognized for its hateful and anti-Semitic content. The book played a significant role in spreading Nazi propaganda and shaping the policies that led to World War II and the Holocaust.
