A German lawyer is filing a lawsuit against American and British soldiers for treating captured German soldiers' copies of Mein Kampf "like a rented mule" during the Second World War. According to sources close to the case, the lawyer, a man named Wolfgang Kleinerschmidt, has become emboldened by recent reports of Americans abusing the Koran. Mr. Kleinschmidt sees "a potential goldmine" in legal compensation for soldiers who had their "guiding texts cruelly neglected."
Mein Kampf, presently a popular text in Turkish bazaars, was Adolf Hitler's foray into literature before he attempted world domination. The book describes the author's anguish over withered German nationalism, the "growing Jewish menace," and other assorted complaints. Many soldiers in the German Army carried the book with them into battle.
According the Kleinschmidt, captured Germans were forced to watch while American soldiers "looked at the book in a menacing manner" and also "threatened it with matches."
The Brits, meanwhile, "applied a variety sordid methods to Hitler's tome." Kleinschmidt said that Germans soldiers told of a particularly gruesome act that "involved peanut butter and scissors.and Mein Kampf didn't come out of it looking pretty."
"The British were savages with the book," one former German soldier said from his home in Rio de Janeiro. "Their toilet work puts these Guantanamo amateurs to shame."
But Kleinschmidt should meet stout resistance, and not just from defense attorneys. "Mein Kampf is a sorry piece of work," said one anonymous author. "For prose that bad, it deserved to be roughed up a little bit."
Satire...right? Right?
That attorney needs a good spitting himself.

Give me a break! What is the next abused tome? The Cat in the Hat drooled on by a two year old? Jeez!
It's Brokennewz.com... it's a joke.
LOL!!!!
Ah...satire. Delicious.
"Broken Newz" is like "Scrappleface" & "The Onion". It's tongue-in-cheek satirical fiction.
Your sarcasm detector needs batteries.
OMG
I hope Sears and Roebuck never finds out what we were doing to their catalog in outhouse.
LOL!
Chuckle.
Why should it not be given the same respect as the Koran?
Gee, does this mean we can sue Russians and demand compesation for the murder and stavation of My Ukranian ancestors, including payment for lost land and assets? I don't see why not. Plus My Mother is Polish, I would say the German government owes plenty of reparations for murder, pain and suffering onthat side of the family as well.
In this day and age, one can never tell anymore.
EXAMPLE: A group of Germans are trying to levy charges against Britain over the bombing of Dresden.
Now, you would think that would be sarcasm as well, wouldn't you? But, it not. It's true.
Fricking hillarious.
Yes it does seem similar.
Deliciously funny stuff. Besides, "Mein Kampf" is worthy of abuse. From a literary standpoint, it is a piece of $h!+.
