Hitlers Zweites Buch (1928)

Common card · No. 210414

Hitlers Zweites Buch (German: [ˈtsvaɪ̯təs buːx], "Second Book"), published in English as Hitler's Secret Book and later as Hitler's Second Book, consists of Adolf Hitler's unedited thoughts on foreign policy in 1928. Written after Mein Kampf, it was not published in his lifetime. Gerhard Weinberg – who edited and annotated the original German edition, and one of the two published English editions – speculates that the Zweites Buch was not published in 1928 because Mein Kampf did not sell well at that time and Hitler's publisher, the Franz-Eher-Verlag, may have told Hitler that a second book would hinder sales even more. Zweites Buch was written after the Nazi Party's poor showing in the 1928 German elections, which Hitler believed was caused by the public's misunderstanding of his ideas.
