WEST GERMANY
SOME COUP; SOME DIARIES
5/16/83

The presses of the newsmagazine Stern rolled on one day last week with the first installment of the newly discovered "Hitler diaries." Next day Stern's great coup was blitzed. The Interior Ministry announced that "the documents did not come from Hitler's hand but were produced in the postwar period." Henri Nannen, Stern's publisher, admitted, "We have some reason to be ashamed."
