Faking Hitler (Season 1)

Faking Hitler (2021) is a German drama series you can watch online on iFILM. It reconstructs the real 1983 scandal that nearly brought down one of Germany's most influential news magazines — a swindle so audacious that nobody in the editorial chain bothered to check.

Journalist Gerd Heidemann (Lars Eidinger) is a Stern reporter running on fumes, desperate for the story that will put him back on the map. Konrad Kujau (Moritz Bleibtreu) is a street-level forger who has spent years selling fake Nazi memorabilia to collectors who prefer not to ask questions. When Kujau pitches handwritten diaries purportedly from Hitler's own hand, Heidemann chooses belief over due diligence — and the two men end up bound together in a con neither fully controls. Directed by Tobias Bauman and Wolfgang Groos, this is a sharp, darkly comic study in professional self-deception. Watch Faking Hitler online on iFILM.
