the Copyright for Mein Kampf Runs out in 3 years and now the state of Bavaria, which holds it, is planning on releasing an annotated version in hopes of getting out in front of the neo Nazis when the work hits the public domain. Right now, the book is not illegal in Germany but copies are very hard to come by. Most of my German friends are amazed when they find out I have a copy.
Why would it be very hard to come by if it is not illegal? Is it simply the taboo of a German having a copy (I'm guessing you get a free pass since you belong to the “liberators)? While I can understand the desire to prevent the simmering of Neo-Nazi feelings and prevent a repeat of history - even on a small scale - I think it's a risky endeavor for the state to get involved in matters like this.
