Mussolini did attempt to read Mein Kampf to find out what Hitler's National Socialist movement was, but was immediately disappointed, saying that Mein Kampf was "a boring tome that I have never been able to read" and remarked that Hitler's beliefs were "little more than commonplace clichés".
Mussolini üritas lugeda Mein Kampfi, et teada, mida Hitleri Natsionaalsotsialistlik liikumine endast kujutas, kuid oli kohe pettunud, öeldes, et Mein Kampf oli "igav teos, mida ma ei suutnud kunagi lugeda" ja märkis, et Hitleri uskumused olid "veidi rohkem, kui tavalised klišeed".
