Since Hitler actually disavowed the book, why would he force people to buy it?

No he did not, Mein Kompf is the direct result of 6 million Jews being murdered. What the hell are you smoking?
No they only bought his book, because he had already brainwashed the public.
"Wink wink" politics is what you are arguing. Please don't stupidly argue having Hitler's bible was voluntary.
Sure it can seem "voluntary" much like training a dog. By the time he gained absolute power, anyone without a copy, or criticizing Hitler or the book, risked social outcast, or even arrest.
Yes, he did disavow ‘Mein Kampf’. And no, the book was not the result of the Holocaust, since it was written before Hitler came to power (it can’t even be reasonably argued that the Holocaust was the result of the book).
If you’re going to claim that owning the book was compulsory, you’ll need to back that up. Can you cite the law that required people to own it, or provide evidence that people were punished for not doing so? I’m going to need more than your say-so.
