Argumento
The story unfolds in Germany during the 1980s. Fritz Knobel (based on Konrad Kujau), a forger who sells Nazi memorabilia to make a living, writes and sells a volume of Hitler's alleged diaries, believing it to be just another job. However, when sleazy journalist Hermann Willié gets wind of the diaries' existence, he sees their potential value and pressures Knobel for more volumes. As demand increases and Knobel struggles to deliver, he starts to adopt behaviors reminiscent of Hitler himself. The film follows this satirical take on the true events surrounding the Hitler Diaries hoax.

Resumen
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.
