While Hitler did rebuild a post-WWI defeated Germany, I doubt that the North Korean leadership will learn how to jump-start their moribund economy by studying Mein Kampf.

Pyongyang condemns leak as a 'thrice-cursed crime' aimed at belittling Kim

The magniloquent wrath of North Korea rained down on a group of 'scum' defectors today after they published a report claiming copies of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' were handed to its officials as a leadership guide.
The defectors claimed in the report that leader Kim Jong-un had handed out copies of the Nazi dictator's manifesto to top officials for inspiration.
An unnamed source in China who claims to have seen the defectors' report said the book had been translated and handed out to officials in Pyongyang at the time of Kim's birthday in January.
'Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in World War 1, Kim Jong-un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked that practical applications be drawn from it,' said the source.
The source added that Kim had told his generals that sports had played a key role in cementing unity and spreading Nazi ideology in Germany and he had called for policies to encourage sporting activities among North Koreans.
Pyongyang was furious, describing the defector's report as a 'thrice-cursed crime' which was aimed at belittling Kim.
Officials threatened to kill the 'human scum' behind the report.
'We are determined to take substantial measures to physically remove despicable human scum who are committing treasons,' the state-run Korean Central News Agency said.
'Sordid human scum will never be able to look up to the sky, nor be able to find an inch of land to be buried after their death.'
Kim's men also vowed to launch 'merciless punishment of justice' against Seoul and Washington, capitals which were accused of encouraging defectors to defame the North Korean leader.
The controversial distribution of Mein Kampf was uncovered by New Focus International, a North Korean-focused news organisation working to get news out of the highly secretive country.
The infamous Nazi tome was distributed in a limited edition, called 'a one-hundred copy book' in North Korea, which is published in secret for the country's top officials to read.
The source behind the revelations said: 'Kim Jong Un gave a lecture to high-ranking officials, stressing that we must pursue the policy of Byungjin (which translates to the word 'tandem') in terms of nuclear and economic development.
'Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in World War One, Kim Jong Un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked that practical applications be drawn from it.'
The threat to eliminate 'scum' so they will not be able to have an inch of land to be buried in was not made lightly.
A general who had shown disobedience last year was lined up against a wall and blown to pieces by a mortar shell.
Hitler's memoir, which translates as My Struggle, was written in 1924 while he was being held in a prison in Bavaria before he became Germany's leader.
In it he strikes out against Jews who he said were conspiring to gain world leadership.
