For the first time since Adolf Hitler's death, Mein Kampf will be available for sale in German bookstores.

This isn't the Nazi leader's original autobiography, though: The 2,000-page volume, published by a taxpayer-funded historical society, will include annotations and criticism of the text. The first print run will begin early next year.
