The German version is VERY hard to read.

This is in parts caused by its sinister content, but mainly because of 
its bad German language.

Its so hard to read, because it contains many 'twisted' expressions, 
which are unusual and difficult to interpret.

Therefore, after a few page you fall asleep, if you try to read this book.

The English version of Paternoster Library is far better written and has 
a high degree of linguistic quality.

The text is also shorter than the German version and has slight 
differences in the content.

Now my question:

how could the publisher 'beautify' the text, while leaving out longish 
passages and adding a few parts, which were not present in the German 
version'??

This would not be possible at all, if it were in fact a translation of 
the German version!


So, how about the opposite direction?

That would in fact be possible, because in this case all pieces of the 
puzzle would have an explanation:

the text itself originated from unknows source, but was written in 
English by a skilled writer.

The comrades in Landsberg translated the text (possibly with the aid of 
Hitler) into German and typed it into their maschine.

they added a few parts, which were therefor not present in the English 
version.

And since style and humor of a sophisticated English text are hard to 
translate into German, the text in German is so hard to read.
