1988

The strange business of selling fakes, forgeries and other concoctions attributed to Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and other Nazi criminals.

Introduction

Even though the Hitler diaries scandal (1983) made it quite clear that there were many fake Hitlers on the market, the trade in the "authentic" Hitler watercolors and other objects attributed to Hitler continued.
