- conanbatt 9y agoIm not criticizing, if there is one thing the nazis did right was being a never ending example of what not to be/do. That said, I have not read Mein Kampf and its a similar situation. Is everything in that book ideological garbage? Maybe, maybe not. I actually dont know what its about!
