		Kujau is accused of forgery and Heidemann of taking money from the magazine to pay himself and his partner knowing full well the documents were a lie.
		GERD HEIDEMANN, 54, a Stern magazine writer, and Konrad Kujau, 46, the alleged forger of the Hitler "Diaries," stand trial today for fraud following one of the biggest journalistic hoaxes ever attempted.
		Heidemann is accused of selling the so-called diaries to the publishers of Stern in April last year, knowing them to be false, and of having kept much of the £2,460,000 that the magazine paid for 60 bogus volumes.

		Heidemann was invited to the house of an acquaintance named Fritz Stiefel and shown his priceless collection of Nazi memorabilia.
		Heidemann was a Nazi enthusiast and had been since he was a boy in the Nazi youth movement.
		Heidemann decided that if he was going to approach the magazine with a proposal, he knew he had to do more ground work.

	The UnMuseum: The Hitler Diaries
		Heidemann realized that if the diaries were authentic and if he could get a hold of them, he would have one of the biggest journalistic scoops of the 20th century.
		Heidemann also found that a chest of papers had supposedly been recovered from the wreck and this was rumored to be the source of the diaries.
		Heidemann told his bosses that after the plane crash the diaries had come into the possession of an East German general and were being smuggled out of that country one by one (supposedly inside pianos).

	Hitler Diaries
		Journalist Gerd Heidemann[?] claimed to have discovered them, and submitted them to be reviewed by a number of experts in WWII history, including the renowned Hitler expert Hugh Trevor-Roper (by then ennobled as Lord Dacre).
		Heidemann claimed to have received the diaries from East Germany, smuggled out by a Dr. Fischer.
		Both he and Heidemann went to trial in 1985 and were each sentenced to 42 months in prison.

		Konrad stated that Heidemann was fully aware from early on that the diaries were not genuine.
		During Heidemann's testimony, he claimed to have had no knowledge that the diaries were forgeries, although he did confess to having recognized some historical inconsistencies in the writings.
		Over all, Heidemann's testimony turned out to be damaging to his case because many of his statements were vague, lacking credence and simply unpersuasive, unlike Konrad's testimony.

	The Hitler Diaries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Heidemann's journalist career was destroyed, but Kujau became a minor celebrity, appearing hundreds of times on German talk shows, opening a "Gallery of Forgeries" in Stuttgart, and even running for mayor of the city.
		Heidemann had gone quite over the edge, insisting that he was in communication with long-dead Nazi brass and entertaining some prominent actually-living veterans of the Third Reich on Hermann Göring's yacht, which Heidemann had restored at considerable expense.
		Heidemann was easy to fool, and in fact continued to believe that the diaries were genuine long after the fraud was uncovered.

		It was this fact that lured Gerd Heidemann to purchase the first volume of Hitler's diary from a man who claimed he acquired them from an East German general trying to smuggle the scripts over the border dividing the then, East and West Germany.
		Heidemann's boss then offered to buy the volumes from him for the equivalent of what would now be $3.7 million.
		The forger of the diary and Gerd Heidemann were both sentenced to four and a half years in jail for their part in the illegal creation of a diary to one of history's most infamous figures, Adolf Hitler.

	Carin II
		Apart from Göring's belief that Carin II should project his power and authority, she was, on another level, built to epitomize the very highest standards of German design, engineering and construction at the time and no expense was spared in her fabrication.
		Gerd Heidemann, a Stern Magazine photo-journalist, purchased 'Theresia' from from Gunter Knauth in 1973, renamed it 'Carin II' and promptly began a DM400,000 restoration project in Hamburg.
		After the 'Hitler Diaries Scandal' blew up and Heidemann was exposed and prosecuted as an accomplice, Carin II was seized by Heidemann's creditors, principally Deutsche Bank, and sold at auction to K-Line Ltd., controlled by Sandra Simpson and her now late husband, Dr. Mostafa Karim.
