Citation: Nitzan Lebovic. H-German, H-Net Reviews. January, When Gerhard Weinberg returned to Germany in , he hadn't seen his hometown of Hannover for more than twenty years. The buildings on his old street, rebuilt after the relentless bombings of the war, looked brand new.
He stopped across the street from his family's old apartment building. He thought to himself that British bombers must have had very good aim. That house was the site of many unhappy memories. The Zweites Buch was not published in because Mein Kampf did not sell well at that time and Hitler's publisher, Franz-Eher-Verlag , told Hitler that a second book would hinder sales even more.
There are a number of similarities and differences between Zweites Buch and Mein Kampf. Reference questions, including those regarding access to collections, may be directed to reference ushmm.

Dec 11, Guido Colacci rated it it was amazing. After reading Mein Kampf, my views about Hitler began to change and soften I could see what he was saying as opposed to what the media and my teachers "thought" he was saying.
It led me to further investigate this man who even President Kennedy considered him a man that the passing of time and the truth would label him "a great man. After finishing this edition which is the longer, more in After reading Mein Kampf, my views about Hitler began to change and soften After finishing this edition which is the longer, more in-depth edition of the translations of the book, my thinking, views, and feelings about Hitler were changed once and for all and I fully realized how much I and we, collectively have been lied to about this man.
He was an economic and military genius, and a philosopher in his own way. I fully understand now why this book was unpublished in and wasn't seen by the public till History has a lot of explaining to do on why this man whom history labels as the most evil man of all time was lied about so much.
Why were his intentions never about the destruction and genocide of the Jews and why out of all the players, he and Germany benefitted the least, while Russia and the Jews benefitted the most. As Napolean stated "history is a lie agreed upon by the victors. View all 17 comments. Jan 05, James Andre rated it it was amazing. It is amazing to see the power and insanity that encumbered this man. To say he was a genius is an understatement. An evil genius, but a genius nevertheless. View all 4 comments.
Aug 30, Creighton added it. As I wrote in my review of Mein Kampf, I wished to read this book objectively, and for historical research purposes. After reading Mein Kampf, I decided I really wanted to read this book, not because I support Nazism or any totalitarian ideology, but because I am so interested in Adolf Hitler.
His life, his decisions, his ideology, his views on various social sciences; to do so requires me to read his writings and his speeches. I personally think Hitler was not a madman, but he was a intelligent As I wrote in my review of Mein Kampf, I wished to read this book objectively, and for historical research purposes. I personally think Hitler was not a madman, but he was a intelligent man, who used his intelligence for his own evil and sick goals that he thought would lead Germany to greatness.
He destroyed Germany, and allowed millions of people to die that should've been allowed to live at peace, but show me a war and I'll show you elites who did the same. He viewed himself as a savior to Germany, one that would get rid of Capitalism, Marxism, the Jews, and the Monarchy, and give Germany an ideology that was in essence a synthesis of Socialism and Nationalism, with a Social Darwinist world view.
After reading both books, I am still not convinced in his ideology, because it just doesn't make sense for me to hate someone who is different, nor does it make sense to have a cult like worship of a race or the state. This "sequel" to Mein Kampf, goes more into the foreign policy aspect of Hitler's views, although he reiterates some of his domestic policy points, and he repeatedly attacks the "bourgeois nationalists" for a lot of the wrongdoings in this book.
What I noticed was how he was pretty light throughout the book on his mention of the Jews, until the end where he hammered away with his accusations, however, for the most part, he attacks the bourgeoise, and one could think this had a bit more of a marxist leaning to it than Mein Kampf. This book was definitely not light on it's racist ideology.
I realize in some ways why Hitler allied with the Italians and sought Britain as an alliance partner. I also see why the German navy was not his main focus, because he writes about these things in his book.
In reality, I wish Hitler would've written more about his economic, and domestic policies, and I wish more was around, not because I agree with it, but because as a historian, I would like to read more about how he felt about various topics than just the Table Talks, Mein Kampf or this book. Hitler's speeches, books, and those written by Fascists, Nazi's, and Communists should be read with an objective mindset, because what you are reading is propaganda, or it is their dissertations on topics that they felt were important to discuss.
