when i posted this book in the article:
to discover it gone today with this explaination.
So I wrote Sir Isaac, and even posted a page or two from the book, but decided to take my case here too. Surely books are not deleted if they format is different or if there is no ISBN? It is a form vs function world for sure, but . . . . . . . ............ Carptrash 03:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Couldn't every published book on the European theatre of WW2 fit this category? Unless someone wants to split it off into a List of World War II books, I'd suggest removing this section. -- Delirium 05:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
About a month ago, the first line of this article was changed from "This List of Adolf Hitler Books is an annotated bibliography" to "This List of Adolf Hitler Books hopes to be an annotated bibliography" by an anon, with the edit summary, It is not annotated at all. This change was reverted by User:PianoKeys, with the summary, Annotated in this case means we have inter-wiki links to books that have articles written about them and their authors. If this is the case, then it would seem inappropriate to link the words "annotated bibliography" to the article annotated bibliography, as that article gives a rather different definition of an annotated bibliography than the one that User:PianoKeys suggests. For whatever it's worth, I'm inclined to agree with the anon that calling it an annotated bibliography at all is confusing at best. ergot 16:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
When you go through the item Doyle, D. (2005). Hitler's Medical Care you'll find following in chapter Acknowledgements: "The author acknowledges with gratitude the assistance of David Irving, the University of Marburg...". According to Wikipedia article on David Irving: "Irving's status as a historian has been widely discredited as a result of controversy arising from his Holocaust denial and misrepresentation of historical evidence." So, I don't think the medical care article is very reliable as a source and I don't recommend using it to anyone. I'm not sure though does the article deserve it's place in the list or not, but Irving's part should be recognized. -- Ukas 00:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I removed the additon of Richard Weikart's book [1] from the list because as the author himself says, "you apparently became so outraged by the title that you assumed you knew the thesis before reading the book, leading you to incorrectly allege that I argue a straightforward "Darwin-to-Hitler" thesis." [2] The book, which I own, does not argue about a direct link to Hitler. The author concedes this. Its received such harsh criticism from historians you should becareful when citing it.

OK, why titles in Dutch and Icelandic, and not any of the hundred other languages with books on Hitler? How likely is it that an English-speaking reading will be interested? German, well, that makes sense, given the significant literature. I see no reason, however, to privilege Dutch and Icelandic.... Bytwerk ( talk) 01:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
here's one: After the war, Giesler wrote "Ein anderer Hitler" (Another Hitler), a personal memoir about his relationship with the dictator.
Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Giesler". must be an interesting one for historians since he shared the job of speer, that is regarded a prolific yet untrustworthy source. 24.132.171.225 ( talk) 02:50, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Does anyone else find this article's current title, "List of Adolf Hitler books" either ambiguous (in the sense that it doesn't indicate whether the books are by or are about Hitler, or both) and/or ungrammatical ("Adolf Hitler" isn't an adjective)..? If so, how about "List of books by or about Adolf Hitler" or possibly something else? The same query about " List of Adolf Hitler speeches" is posted here.

A 1941 book would not have an ISBN. Is that a Library of Congress catalogue number? Varlaam ( talk) 04:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Was "Der Hitler-Prozeß vor dem Volksgericht in München" (1924) written by Hitler? OCLC seems to think so: OCLC 638670803. The German Wikipedia article, de:Hitler-Prozess, does not mention it, but that may be because there are only like 4 copies in all of Germany... (There are many more in the US than anywhere else.)
If so, it should definitely go in the list. Int21h ( talk) 06:35, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Better late than never: That book (different title: "Vor dem Volksgericht in München) contains the trial documents of the Hitler trial. As such, it is not specifically WRITTEN by anyone, but collects speeches held on trial by prosecution, defence and judge, and as such it contains Hitlers self-defence as part of the book. It was neither written nor edited by Hitler, and its not a comment on the trial, but purely a collection of documents, put together by an editor of Knorr & Hirth, a popular non-right-wing publisher of the Weimarer Republik. 95.90.129.68 ( talk) 18:10, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I took a look at the book in question and it seems okay to me: http://www.amazon.com/The-Death-Adolf-Hitler-Bezymenski/dp/0718106342

Just because some book was placed on the list at some point does not mean it is WP:RS or should be kept. See WP:NOTEVERYTHING. I was reverted as to a recent edit and I have to wonder how one can justify the inclusion of works by Holocaust denier and "author" David Irving? His books should be removed as non-RS; bias and POV pushing. Kierzek ( talk) 15:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
I removed two of David Irving's books on Hitler diff; Irving's works on Hitler have been widely criticised. K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:35, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
I would disagree; Hitler’s War is notable enough to be included, although I understand the reasoning not to include discredited authors. So I will not oppose the exclusion of this work, but then I have three suggestions:
Regards, Jeff5102 ( talk) 10:22, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
I removed those not in English or German; it's unclear why single books in Hungarian etc should be included. Preserving the material here by providing this link. K.e.coffman ( talk) 04:17, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

List of books by or about Adolf Hitler → Bibliography of Adolf Hitler – I propose the title of the article to be renamed " Bibliography of Adolf Hitler" following the Wikipedia title naming protocol. There are many articles on Wikipedia exist, titled such "Bibliography of...XYZ". The current title of the article is unusually long and seems little off the grammatical order. Hemant Dabral Talk 14:50, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
I was reading this Lithub article from 2016 that mentioned "A scholar’s recent discovery that Hitler himself probably wrote an early 1920s biography—supposedly penned by an admiring aristocrat". I checked this article and Historiography of Adolf Hitler, linked from the biographies section, but didn't see any entry that matches this. It sounds worthy of inclusion. -- BDD ( talk) 17:47, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
