I have heard or read that in Germany itself this is strictly regulated, but what of elsewhere? Here in South Africa a (large, quite pricey) paperback translation from a British (I think) publisher of works of history is fairly easily: I have seen copies in branches of at least three general booksellers. I suppose much would depend on the perceived reasons for interest in it, which in these parts would be predominantly historical.
