Fernand Sorlot

Fernand Sorlot was a French editor and publisher. In 1934, his publishing company, the Nouvelles Éditions latines, published a French translation of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.[1] Sorlot did not own the copyright, and he was sued by the Franz Eher Nachfolger, mainly because Hitler did not want the French to read the book.[1] Meanwhile, from 1935 to 1940, Sorlot was the co-editor of Le Front latin, a fascist journal.[2] After World War II, Sorlot was convicted of Indignité nationale for ten years.[1]
