BBC News | UK | Britain forged Hitler passport
8 February, 2002
A forged passport for Adolf Hitler made by British intelligence officers is among secret UK government documents made public for the first time.
No clue is given as to why the fake Hitler passport was created - it could have been a joke, or part of a plan to spread disinformation.
It was stamped on the outside with a large 'J' by its forgers to denote that he was Jewish, and said that his profession was a painter.
The forged document is complete with personal details including place and date of birth.
Under identification marks the forgers have written in German "small moustache".
