Kim Dotcom’s political aspirations have taken a hit after he admitted owning a rare piece of Nazi memorabilia, a signed  copy of Hitler's autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf (My Struggle).

Speaking on 3 News, the German born internet entrepreneur said it was among several rare pieces of rare World War II memorabilia he had bought. Other items in his collection include a cigar holder that once belonged to British leader Winston Churchill and a pen that belonged to Soviet leader Josef Stalin.

He rejected suggestions it made him a Nazi sympathiser - but right wing blog Whaleoil last night quoted a friend, Alex Mardikian, saying Hitler was Dotcom’s ‘‘idol’’.

‘‘It’s not so much the book but more the fact of his awe and the powertrip of it all,’’ Mardikian told Whaleoil.
