A question that starts "Does..." requires yes/no answer options. To prepare a true/false question you start with a declaratory statement, "Mein Kampf means My Stuggle." NO reference site quoted to support the answer.

I live in German speaking Austria. You would not translate Mein Kampf as My Struggle. It just isn’t right. The correct translation is My fight.

Kurt W Hanssen, with all due respect, struggle and fight are synonyms..

I AM German. And it literally translates as my fight. Not struggle.
Orlando Giménez
In Spanish: "Mi lucha"

The actual translation is "My Fight".
I'm fully aware that struggle and fight are very similar, however if you're going to ask as a trivia question with multiple choices they should be fact-checked & if you find that the question has more than one answer then please be sure of what you enter as an author.

I speak German and you are correct. Hitler was unable to show human emotions as in struggle

I agree. My struggle would be Mein Auseinandersetzung.
Mein Kampf ist my fight.

Mr. Hanssen, it's not that it was translated incorrectly, it may be that as in The English language, among many others have multiple words that have the same or similar definitions. They call them synonymous, synonyms, or interchangeable, etc. You got it wrong. It's okay... Out of all of the choices and you, being a German Speaker and all, couldn't discern or deduce the correct answer??? Stop it. German is not one of the languages I'm fluent or even versed in but I'm sure myself and many other non-German speakers knew that answer... Get over yourself and it.

Kurt W Hanssen, you are right. I speak German too. Figured they translated it as such.

Actually, if you google-translate, it shows up as a translation on fight, struggle and battle.

You can’t ask a yes or no question and ask for a true or false answer

Kurt W Hanssen, second answer: The more correct translation is "My Fight". The "My Struggle" is an incorrect translation often used in various history books.
