After earning his doctoral degree in
Federal Intelligence Service and several retired spies to present their personal story and explain their work to a broad public.[3]
Knopp's history films are often criticised for presenting the
Hitler's regime.[4][5] He was condemned for rewriting history by leaving out the role of the Wehrmacht (former German Army) in the cruelties of World War II.[6][7] In 2004, a group of international historians warned that documentaries like the ones produced by Knopp could reduce important historic facts to mere infotainment.[8]
In 2003, Knopp pleaded for Konrad Adenauer to be featured in the Unsere Besten list of greatest Germans, compiled by ZDF-TV.[9] In 2004, he received the Goldene Kamera and the Bavarian and European TV award for his work. He teaches journalism at the Gustav-Siewerth-Akademie in Weilheim-Bierbronnen (Baden-Württemberg) and lives in Mainz. His publishing house is the German Random House group (Bertelsmann group).[10] In 2008 Knopp worked on a movie about failed Hitler assassin Berthold Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg.[11]
