N Korea ‘will kill Hitler report authors’

North Korea has angrily denied a report its ruler used Adolf Hitler’s memoir as a leadership guide, threatening to kill the authors of the report.

The article by New Focus International, an online news portal run by North Korean defectors, said Kim Jong-Un had given copies of Mein Kampf to his top officials, urging them to study it as a leadership skills manual.

He handed out translations of the German dictator’s manifesto to select officials on his birthday in January, it said, citing an unnamed North Korean official working in China.
