I am afraid that is not really relevant. However, if the heirs want to submit the book for PG, that should be possible.
A couple of months ago, I did a little digging out of curiousity to find out who owned the copyright to Mein Kampf. Apparently it's the Austrian Government,who refuse to allow it to be published in Austria, but otherwise have no interest in it. But it's definitely still copyright by either US or life+70 countries' standards.
Not in life+50, though. -- Jon Ingram Discover Yahoo! Find restaurants, movies, travel and more fun for the weekend. Check it out! http://discover.yahoo.com/weekend.html

Then surely it should be possible to publish this at PG of Australia since, up until recently, their copyright law was Life + 50 and the recent extensions do not (I believe) apply to books which had already fallen into the public domain. Regards, Holden

They've published an English translation. PG Europe could concievable take on the German original, as Serbia is Life+50.

The text of the 1939 English translation of Mein Kampf was posted at PG of Australia years ago. (September 2002, to be exact) Andrew
