"MEIN

ȚEIN KAMPF," exactly as Hitler wrote it, without

any "cuts," will be published in Britain shortly. Hitherto the only edition available in English has been a specially prepared edition from which many cru- cial passages are omitted.

*All royalties on Mein Kampf' are paid to the German Propaganda Department which handles the book for Hitler, and these will be paid by us in the usual way.
