主题：《我的奋斗》版税归属

BERLIN (Reuters) - German historian Werner Maser said Sunday that a distant relative of Adolf Hitler could sue the state of Bavaria for royalties from the Nazi dictator's book MeinKampf, but the retired Austrian engineer said he wants no part of it①.

　　Maser told the newspaper BildamSonntag that Peter Raubal, whose father Leo Raubal was a nephew of Hitler, would have a strong chance of winning the copyright from Bavaria, which was given the German rights to the book by the post-war occupying powers. "Peter Raubal is the only heir of Hitler that I know of," Maser said. Hitler died with no offspring of his own, but Leo Raubal was one of the children of his half-sister Angela Raubal. Maser said Leo Raubal long considered such a lawsuit before his death in 1979. According to BildamSonntag, the royalties could be worth millions of euros.

　　"Yes I know the whole story about Hitler's inheritance," Peter Raubal told the newspaper in what it said were his first public comments on the issue. "But I don't want to have anything to do with it... I only want to be left alone."

　　In Germany, it is illegal to distribute MeinKampf except in limited circumstances. The book, which Hitler dictated while in prison following the failed Munich "Beer Hall putsch" of 1923, is available online and in most countries, including Israel. It outlines a doctrine of German racial supremacy and ambitions to annex vast areas of the Soviet Union. Published in 1925, it became a school textbook after Hitler won power in 1933, and all German newlyweds also received a copy.
