I deem it as impossible to both take in the whole content of Mein Kampf and at the same time learn the complete history of Europa.

I want to fokus on what Adolf Hitler wrote. As close to the original as possible.

While my overall objection to the Michael Fords translation would be that the translation in itself is really bad. He has changed the content and is using a language that is out of context, trying to simplify perfectly normal words. Which I find annoying and tacky.

Martin Kerr, whose judgement I respect, states that the Thomas Dalton translation is the best. Dalton even offers a dual German/English version so you always have the original immediately at hand.

I have read that but I value my own judgement over Martin Kerr's.

Seeing as how Jame Murphy was the official translator of the National Socialist party. Appointed, praised and approved for his work at the time by and for the Nationalist Socialist party itself.

Makes me deem any other translations as fake versions.

I was not annoyed by Daltons translation in itself.

Though the constant explanations ruined it.
