A commented edition was published recently (within last two years), but iirc it was the first of its kind? Edit: pasting comment to post below here, because HN doesn't let me post It seems this state of affairs was quite convenient for the government, and when the copyright expired, they decided to continue making it not legally available: https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/adolf-hitlers-mein-kampf-verbot-bleibt-nach-justizminister-treffen-a-977582.html https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/adolf-hitlers-mei... Seems to be true that it could be sold in antique shops and offered in libraries (not sure if any did offer it).

Until 2016 all new printings were stopped on copyright grounds by the state of Bavaria. Hitlers registered address at time of death was in Munich, so the state of Bavaria acquired his assets and used that to stop printings (internationally not often successful, and with the exceptions of US and GB, where the rights had been sold to Random House by Hitlers publisher), but 2016 (70 years after death of the author) the copyright expired. Copyright was fairly straight-forward legally, commented editions now are too.
