"0105328" . . . . . "Schtonk! is a 1992 satirical German film, retelling the hoax of the Hitler Diaries.Subtitled Der Film zum Buch vom F\u00FChrer (\"The film accompanying the F\u00FChrer's book\"), the film is a grotesque farce about the events when, in 1983, German Stern magazine began to publish, with great fanfare, the 60 volumes of the alleged diaries of Adolf Hitler \u2013 which two weeks later turned out to be entirely fake.The film is widely considered a hilarious tale, making fun not only of the events and characters who were involved in the hoax, and who are only thinly disguised in the film, but also of the discomfort Germany has with its difficult past.The film is co-written and directed by Helmut Dietl and, among his many respected comedies, is frequently considered his best.
