Faking Hitler

Created by Thomas Vass

On RTL+

A taut, character-driven drama about ambition and deception centered on one of history's most notorious forgeries, balancing intellectual intrigue with the moral compromises of chasing a story.

Journalist Gerd Heidemann always gets his story. When he hears of a diary written by 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.
