About

Journalist Gerd Heidemann always gets his story. When he hears of a diary written by Adolf Hitler, he can't resist the scoop of the century-except the diary is the creation of charismatic art dealer, petty criminal, and prolific forger Konrad Kujau. When Heidemann tracks him down, he's excited to learn that Kujau has many more diaries, and convinces respected magazine Stern to pay a huge sum to buy them-but a rookie reporter isn't convinced they're real.
