'Mein Kampf' to be republished in Germany

The unthinkable is about to happen in Germany – Adolf Hitler’s famous manifesto is being republished.

The Institute for Contemporary History in Munich is reprinting “Mein Kampf” or “My Struggle” 70 years after the Nazi dictator's death.

According to CNN, it will not appear in its original form but will be heavily annotated to expose the "lies, half-truths and vicious tirades," the institute says, behind a Nazi vision of hostility that ended in the deaths of tens of millions of people in World War II.

Republication is possible because the copyright ends Dec. 31. Following the war, the Allies transferred the copyright to the German state of Barvaria, which instituted a ban on reprints.

The book will sell for 59 euros, or about $63 a copy, starting in January.
