A British publisher plans to sell excerpts from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf in Germany, despite likely legal action from the Bavarian Government which owns the copyright to the 1925 book.
While the controversial book is not banned in Germany, the state of Bavaria has repeatedly prohibited its publication.
The state, in the southeast of Germany, seized Hitler's assets following his 1945 death.
Publisher Peter McGee, 51, plans to release the excerpts later this week, telling German magazine Der Spiegel the publication should be available for the German public to read.
"It's long overdue that a broad public should get the opportunity to deal with the original text," he said.
