Mein Kampf in English

[edit]
  • ... that Stackpole books sold 12,000 copies of Mein Kampf in English before being ordered to stop? Source: "During the short period it was in print from February 28 - June 9, 1939 Stackpole had managed to sell 12,000 copies of its translation." (and [Mein_Kampf_in_English#Stackpole_translation_and_controversy] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

  • Comment: James Murphy's translation hit the bookstores March 20, 1939. Perhaps this would make a good March 20 article?
Sorry to see that the date is already in the past, but no too strong connection anyway. Detailed interesting history, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - What do you think of talking about Chamberlain's annotations for a hook? - I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
I think the hook about Stackpole is more interesting, as the controversy between the two publishers led to a legal precedent and the Stackpole edition became extremely rare. How do I put a signature on these things?
You copy the four tildes from somewhere. I have a line below with the most frequent symbols to insert, which includes them. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
