Unit 2 - Ideas

Mein Kampf (Eng:My Struggle or My Fight) it is Hitler's signeture work, combining elements of autobiography with Hitler's political ideology of Nazism.In Mein Kampf, Hitler makes a biographical account of his life and also describes plans for German-allied countries to rule Europe, along a racist worldview of white supremacy with Aryans as the master race at the top and Jews at the bottom. Mein Kampf was written by Hitler in Prison with him publishing Volume 1 in 1925 and Volume 2 following in 1926.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler uses the main thesis of "The Jewish peril", which speaks of an alleged Jewish conspiracy to gain world leadership and also warns against the French. It also states that Propaganda is a rational way of controlling the irrational behaviour of crowds.Hitler presented himself as the "Übermensch"(Eng:Superman or Superhuman, Friedrich Nietzsche had developed this term in his book, Also Sprach Zarathustra, but opposed both racism and anti-semitism.

Mein Kampf was Hitler's first stage of becoming Germany's leader.It became sort of a Bible for every Nazi and it gave Hitler public awareness for him to start his rise to leadership of Germany.
These days the printing and copying of the book in Germany is illegal and the German government highly opposes the buying and reading of the book.
