Mein Kampf: Bavaria plans German publication in 2015

Mein Kampf: Bavaria plans German publication in 2015
The German state of Bavaria is preparing to publish Hitler's memoir, Mein Kampf, in 2015, before the book's copyright expires.
The book is not banned by law in Germany, but Bavaria has used ownership of the copyright to prevent publication of German editions since 1945.
Copyright restrictions stop at the end of 2015, 70 years after Hitler's death.
The Bavarian government says it is preparing an edition for students which will include a critical commentary.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in 1924, while serving a prison sentence for attempting to stage a coup.
