| | The group of so-called handwriting experts and historians summoned -- for large fees -- for the purpose of authenticating the Hitler diaries proved to be a pitiful lot. | | | Most forgeries in the second category (documents, uniforms, medals, weapons and other memorabilia) are merely attempts to make money. | | | The "text" was in large measure copied directly from a 1962 work by Max Domarus, Hitler's Speeches and Proclamations, and Kujau meticulously copied the dated entries, even transcribing errors made by Domarus in dates and acts. |
