I wonder what Nazi went through the effort to translate Mein Kampf to Arabic.

Turns out there were some partial translations made by Arabic speakers, the first of which was an antisemitic antizionist journalist, and then one or two more directly Nazi-enthusiast Arab people. The Nazi Party at first wanted to publish an edited version of Mein Kampf, since the book does not express a positive view of Arabs, and the term "antisemitism" itself was changed to "anti-Jewish" because Arabs are also a Semitic people, but it looks like no official translation, even in part, ever really got official approval (partly owing to poor-quality translation work), and ultimately the first full translation was produced for academic reasons in the '60s.
