Comments: The Hitler Birthday Edition was published in 1939 to commemorate the 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler. It is also known as the 5-Millionth Edition since it commemorates the 5-Million copies of Mein Kampf in print. It was issued with a blue cloth slipcase, which is missing here. An identical birthday edition was printed in 1939 in red cloth, in slipcase, with similar gilt decorative illustrations.
