| Summary: | At the end of World War II the Munich area was part of the American Zone of Occupation. The Nazi publishing house Eher Verlag was confiscated by the United States, as were all books for which the author had signed over copyright to that firm. This applied to Mein Kampf, for which Adolf Hitler had received very substantial royalties. But the occupation authorities signed over to the postwar Bavarian government that copyright. The Americans had also taken the typed text of another book Hitler had written but never published. Under German law that copyright belonged to Hitler's heirs, so that after I discovered and identified the text in 1958, the Institute for Contemporary History purchased the rights and issued my edition in 1961. |
