the version is a year oldOriginally posted by OwlHoot View PostNope, and I gather it is a newly released annotated edition, which may somewhat account for the increase in sales.

However it does seem that it was the first time in 70 years
But as you can download it for free in many places one does rather wonder why such interest.Until now, the work had been owned by the Bavarian state government, which prevented any new editions being published in Germany for the standard term of 70 years after the death of the author.
That would be because despite her detractors nobody believes she filled the pits with dead bodies or invaded Poland.scooterscot
Why is this any different to sales of Thachter's or Blair's biography?
