Outlaw

The Resume

    (December 4, 1931- )
    Born in Hamburg, Germany
    Forged Hitler’s ‘Diaries’

Why he might be annoying:

    He tried to profit off one of the most notorious mass murderers in history.
    Handwriting experts determined the diaries he found were forgeries, and bad ones at that.
    The diaries were written on modern paper, with modern ink, and contained historical inaccuracies.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He created a great hoax, that fooled many people at first.
    He served a 42 month sentence for his forgery.
