The All Seeing Eye will be away from these parts for the best part of the next week so I am afraid you will have to endure my musings in the interim!

Did you see that modern progressive Germany is….erm…..reprinting Mein Kampf?

Under the post-1945 German constitution, the dissemination of Nazi philosophy has been a crime punishable by fines and imprisonment. But the copyright, held by the state of Bavaria where the Nazi movement began life in the 1920s, expires in 2015, 70 years after the death of its author in his Berlin bunker. On Thursday the Munich-based Institute of Contemporary History (IfZ) pledged to publish an “annotated version” with historical notes that it hopes will see the book used in schools and colleges.

Wonder what the annotation will provide? Is this a healthy sign that Germany has come to terms with the Nazi era, or is it a portent of a more ominous situation developing there?
