It is an incredibly poor written and boring book.

Why do you disagree with the statement that Hitler was pure evil?

Let's just say that (going on) eighty years of Jewish-led propaganda has painted him as pure evil, so much so that almost no one will say or think otherwise. In some countries it is illegal to deny the holocaust. I don't believe six million Jews were "holocausted".

If Hitler wanted to rid Germany of the Jews, I think he went about it the wrong way. But, I 100% understand why he wanted to do it. His motives were not evil, but rather love for his country. He did not want Germany to become what America is now turning into.

It must be simple for our millennial college students to be able to comprehend it. Either this or comic book format.

Well, let's see: how about some productive commentary on the subject?

I don't even know where to start with this one...

I have looked up the book on Amazon, as I am fascinated by the Third Reich, but I understand that a translation of the actual meaning of the book is not available, but rather what a translator wants it to say or mean.

I think the Third Reich has been excessively demonized by the victors. While the Germans committed atrocities, the same can be said for the Americans and hypocritical British.

Someone wrote on tPF that Hitler was pure evil. I disagree.

Yeah, sometimes translation can get a little murky but if you are really into it, give a copy a try: it's really fascinating. The third reich was demonized for what it specifically did, not for what it's early ideal was. As one starts to read the book, Hitler comes across as an okay kinda guy: he sounds learned in historical matters, his commentary on the German people, Austria and its connection to Germany, his analysis of societal ills, his criticisms of the German parliamentary system are compelling, a little rude in expression, but nonetheless he sounds like any working stiff who is disillusioned with government and its practices and failings. He is no different than what American are saying today about the mess WE"RE in. And was the beauty of his appeal... he was 'a regular guy with a new idea about how to make Germany great. Don't forget that his initial actions got him on the cover of Time magazine as "man of the Year". He put Germans to work again and got industry going again, put order and leadership into government, excited the people through charisma into such a frenzy that they actually would refer to him as the new Messiah. So, yes! he was Time Magazine's Man of the Year! and then he invaded Poland.

The fact was that by that time, his plans were laid out and had been put into action quietly while everybody else was waving flags and so happy to German. He built his SS, spread them around like the new Teutonic Knights; that's what those guys were told when they joined! And by then the snare was set and it covered the entire country and they never knew what hit'em.

And that is why I find Mein Kamph so fascinating. It tells us exactly what wires were connected in his head and how they were routed.

And by the way, Hitler only dictated, Rudolph Hess did the writing.

Well, how about, reading the OP - in full, and making some commentary on it.

Well since the subject seems to be beyond your abilities, then "troll" fits you well doesn't it.

In your post #2 you say that Hitler said that the left is marxist from his own writing. I find that interesting. The name of the party may differ but the platform does not.

It would be helpful if you could post a little more of your analysis or synopsis. This seems to be more background and I can appreciate that.

Yeah I wanted to take it easy in opening up just to get it goin and see how it goes.

As Marxists and the 'party', what party are you referring to? I think you mean any left leaning political party, but putting a Marxist label on any left leaners is the same mistake as saying that Hitler was a socialist.
