Description:
(Illustrator) Konrad Paul Kujau was a German illustrator and forger known for his role in creating the forged Hitler Diaries in 1983. He managed to deceive journalist Gerd Heidemann, who bought the diaries for a large sum of money, resulting in significant profits for Heidemann. Kujau's successful forgery led to his imprisonment for four-and-a-half years. Despite his criminal actions, Kujau's talent as an illustrator was highlighted by the convincing forgeries that briefly captivated the public.
