A fake vaccination certificate in the name of “Adolf Hitler” has emerged – and is valid throughout Europe.
Berlin – A fake digital Corona vaccination certificate has appeared on the Internet, which was issued in the name “Adolf Hitler” and is accepted as a valid European vaccination certificate. Whether a secret digital key was stolen from an issuing office for the fake certificate remained open on Wednesday (October 27th, 2021).
In an initial report on the counterfeit, the Italian portal zerozone.it referred to a tweet by the Twitter user “reversebrain”, which published a corresponding QR code.

Corona Pass – Italy’s “Green Pass” has been criticized
Evidence of vaccinations is at the center of a heated political debate in Italy. The “Green Pass” – a corona passport with printable or digital proof of a corona vaccination – has been necessary since mid-October according to a decision by the Italian government of Prime Minister Mario Draghi in order to be allowed to go to work.
However, the fake vaccination pass that has now emerged was not only shown as valid by the system of the Italian “Green Pass”, but also by the official German app “CovPass Check”.
Corona: Metadata from “Adolf Hitler’s” vaccination pass leads to France
The metadata of the forged vaccination pass for “Adolf Hitler” with a date of birth January 1, 1900 does not lead to Italy, but to France. The certificate was allegedly issued by the French social security CNAM (Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie).
According to experts, in addition to a leak at the certification authority, it is also conceivable that an authorized person has issued the fake ID. (Lukas Zigo / dpa)
