Hitlers Diaries - Fake or Real
60 volumes seems like an over the top hoax! something does not smell right here.

'Hitler Diaries' Discoverer Living on Welfare
A quarter of a century ago, German reporter Gerd Heinemann stunned the world by claiming he had unearthed Hitler's diaries. Within two weeks, his career was in tatters after it emerged they had been forged by an antique dealer. He never recovered from the scandal.
The men were given several photocopied pages of the diaries and were asked to compare them with other samples of Hitler's handwriting retrieved from the German Federal Archives.

Forging History
Based on the samples provided, the men determined that the handwriting was a match.

It wasn't any surprise that the publishers in on the bid treated the news with equal interest. After all, the diaries directly challenged the prevailing views concerning Hitler's character and actions. In fact, contradictory to historical accounts, the diaries presented Hitler as more amiable than what had been documented.
This apparently unknown side of Hitler shocked and even horrified those who knew or experienced firsthand the atrocities brought about by the notorious leader. Thus, it was no surprise that many strongly doubted the authenticity of the documents, despite the fact that they were deemed genuine by experts.
ok now it makes sense, since the diaries did not reflect the Jewish History channel propaganda view, they must be a forgery.
60 volumes forged seems very unlikely that someone would spend that much time and be able to pull it off!
He went to the village of Boernersdorf to research the story about the plane and learned that there was indeed a crash in April 1945. He also learned of a mysterious chest full of papers, which he believed might have been the one in which the diaries were found. Moreover, to his surprise, Heidemann learned that there were perhaps up to 27 or more volumes in the possession of a man named Konrad Fischer. Unbeknownst to Heidemann, Fischer was actually one of the pseudonyms used by Konrad Kujau.
Based on the information he was able to obtain, Heidemann made a proposal to Stern hoping they would finance the purchase of the diaries. To his delight, his employers offered approximately 2 million marks in exchange for the 27 diaries. Heidemann immediately sought out Konrad, yet was initially unable to locate him because he was living under another name.
So somehow This Konrad guy convinces a town to pass on a story of a downed plane and box with papers in it.
Is anyone buying this.

The financial offer was just too tempting for them to let it slip by. Konrad arranged with Heidemann to have his identity kept a secret. He hoped that it would protect his interests, in case the volumes were discovered to be fake. With that problem out of the way he was able to focus on the bigger issue at hand, producing relatively quickly 27 diaries in Hitler's handwriting.
Konrad worked night and day on the long series of volumes that would make him a wealthy man. Finally in January 1981, one of the diaries was presented to the eager Heidemann.
This story sounds like a forgery!
he creates them after negotiating the money deal, you think that Heidemann would have wanted to see them first. And was does speigel say 60 volumes and the crime library say 27?
Quote:
When Stern employed the assistance of handwriting experts to analyze the documents, they made another disastrous mistake. Rendell stated that most of the archive samples used for comparison purposes were, "all written in the identical hand of the questioned journal pages: that of the forger." Thus, he suggested that unbeknownst to the experts, they were comparing Kujau's forgeries with archived examples of his forgeries taken from the Stern/Heidemann dossier from the German Federal Archives in Koblenz.
So hand writings in the archives where also forgeries.
This story just gets better and better

There were entries in the diary, which suggested that Hitler had little, if anything, to do with the 1938 Nazi riot against the Jews known as the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass).
That's because it was a Jewish false flag operation, as documented by brave historians.
Quote:
Conversely, historical accounts suggested that Hitler actually orchestrated and commanded the vicious rampage that caused so much destruction and ended so many innocent lives.
Ok illusion restored continue on your way, nothing to see here, keep moving.

Moreover, the diary entries further suggested that Hitler had little, if any, knowledge of the horrific events that took place in many of the concentration camps scattered throughout Europe. Instead, the diaries alleged that Hitler would have rather had the Jews deported to other countries instead of terminating them in the camps. In other words, the diaries led people to believe that Hitler was not the kind of man who would have ruthlessly murdered millions of people. However, historical accounts and testimony from survivors and those who actually bore witness to the atrocities in the concentration camps grossly conflicted with the writings in the diary.
Ah yes can't have our ultimate evil turn out to be something other then what we say is true.
