munich - The new scientific edition of Hitler's book Mein Kampf is a year after appearing 85,000 times been sold. 'These sales have overtaken us, no one had taken into account', said the director of the South German Institute for Contemporary History Andreas Wirsching on the issue.

The edition in which the original text provided Hitler is critical scientific review, published on January 8, 2016 and is 2,000 pages thick. The purpose of the institute was to take the wind out of the sails of those who would like to book publishing without comment, because copyrights have expired 70 years after the death of Hitler. 'It would have been irresponsible just to leave this text roam,' said Wirsching.
