Mein Kampf Signed by Adolf Hitler Sells at Auction for $35k

A signed copy of Adolf Hitler's infamous manifesto "Mein Kampf" recently sold for £21,000, or about $35,000 in American funds. While the controversial book has been banned in Germany since the end of the Second World War, it remains in publication in other countries where the ban is not in place.

The copy in question was autographed by the notorious Nazi leader and was believed to have been given to a fellow inmate at the Bavarian jail where Hitler wrote the book while serving a four-year prison sentence in the mid-1920's. The pre-publication second edition was sold at auction by Mullock's Auctioneers.

Shown above is the signed first edition of "Mein Kampf" which sold for £23,800 at an auction in London in 2005.
