[QUOTE="Naofumi, post: 47419, member: 39"] Hitler then began a second, shorter volume to complete his program. This appeared in December of 1926. The next year, the two volumes were slightly revised and combined into one work. This 1927 'second edition' of Mein Kampf, published when Hitler was 3 8 years old, is the version used in the present translation.
