No, it isn't correct.
Shure it was a bestseller. But not like usual bestsellers. The people didn't buy it in the bookshops like other books. The book was a municipality present to wedding etc.
And no, it didn't help Hitler. Only the fewest people really read the book. (Read some pages and you know why. The writing style ist really poor.) Almost they put it at once to the bookshelf. And at the end of war they burnt it.
When the majority would have read the book perhaps the Nasiz wouldn't have get the power. Hitler wrote about most of his awful ideas. So the people would have known the coming desaster of war. And the crime against the jews.
