Description
The Hitler Diaries were a series of sixty volumes of journals purportedly written by writer Adolf Hitler but forged by Konrad Kujaw between (1981-1983). The diaries were bought by the West German news magazine Stern in 1983 for 9.3 million Deutsche Marks, which were sold. Serialization rights to several news organizations. One British newspaper was the Sunday Times, whose independent Director, historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, identified them as genuine. Trevor-Roper and several other academics were misled by Stern journalists who misled them about the extent of chemical testing on the document, as well as its East German origin, in an attempt to hide the discovery from other publications.
