Summary
Schtonk! is a German comedy-drama directed by Helmut Dietl in 1992. The movie satirically retells the actual events of 1983, when Germany's Stern magazine published Hitler's alleged diaries, later revealed to be entirely fake. The film focuses on Fritz Knobel (loosely based on Konrad Kujau), a Nazi memorabilia forger who inadvertently becomes entangled in the diary hoax. Schtonk! is a humorous exploration of Germany's discomfort with its past and an entertaining commentary on the power of forgery and deceit.
