Faking Hitler on SBS – Gerd Heidemann needs a real scoop. Stern’s star reporter hasn’t had a big story in a while and is under pressure to deliver. Meanwhile, Konrad Kujau needs money.
He lives by selling fake devotional objects to old Nazis under the pseudonym Dr. Konrad Fischer. When his customers get excited about his forgery of a signed painting by Hitler, the idea is born: to write Hitler’s diaries. By a circuitous route, one of the diaries ends up in Heidemann’s hands – and it’s exactly the scoop he’s been dreaming of.
Episode One:
A reporter and a con man’s lives change forever when faked Hitler artifacts hit the black market.
