This is an incorrect claim. The copyright in Hitler's works passed to the State of Bavaria. They passed into the public domain in 2016 (life of the author plus 70 years). Before that, Bavaria did not authorize reprints. If "Mein Kampf" was in print between 1945 and 2016, that was copyright infringement. There was a legal entity that would have been owed royalties.
