Most retail versions are going to be either the Murphy or Manheim translations. The former is somewhat abridged and poorly translated, and the latter is maliciously translated that puts words and slurs in Hitler's mouth.
The Stalag Edition is the only translation that was authorized and endorsed by the Reich. These copies could be found in POW camp libraries during WWII, although the identities of the translators/editors are lost to time. Original copies are very rare and very expensive, but outside of reading the original in German, this is as close to official as it gets.
