The claim

With a sharepic, ZDF is supposedly looking for extras to recreate the Russian military's attack on Mariupol, as no original material would be available.

Our conclusion

It is a fake: Several spelling errors, factual errors and a short link to a job advertisement that no longer exists, in which no extras were even searched, expose the Sharepic as a blatant fake.

This sharepic is:

The fake search for extras
The fake search for extras

“In order to authentically re-enact the atrocities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine for live reporting, we need 300 male extras.”

This is the introduction to the fake job advertisement, including a comma error (missing comma after “to be reproduced”). For three days in Aptil (sic!) the extras would receive 100 euros per day and 20 euros in travel money.

“This is intended as a documentary commissioned by ZDF to recreate the crimes committed by the Russian military in Mariopol for Tagestheman and Weltspiegel, as unfortunately no original material is available.”

“Mariopol” instead of “Mariupol” and “Tagestheman” instead of “Tagesthemen”, but there are also two factual errors in the sentence:
Both Tagesthemen and Weltspiegel are produced by ARD, not ZDF.

What remains is the short URL behind which a form is supposed to be hidden: This leads to a job advertisement on Stepstone (see HERE ), which has now been deleted. " Aha, they've probably already found their extras ," the average conspiracy teller who believes that everything is staged anyway might think, but that's far from the case, because the ad can be viewed in the Wayback Machine (see HERE ).

The job advertisement, which has now been deleted, was not looking for extras and there is no form there, but rather it was a search for a research consultant (old term: market researcher):

The colleagues from “ Correctiv has been called ZDF Studios GmbH since April 1st (another factual error in the fake job advertisement), whether the sharepic might not be real and received an email The press spokeswoman informed us that it was of course a false report.

Conclusion

The sharepic is without exception distributed by users who are of the opinion in many other posts that, for example, NATO and Ukraine provoked the war, or who also believe that there is no war at all and/or that everything was just staged - and are leading then use this job advertisement from ZDF as “evidence”, which can be exposed as a fake with very little effort.

Also interesting:
The Pentagon reportedly confirmed that Volodymyr Zelensky is a cousin of George Soros.
Proofs? None! Zelensky is a cousin of Soros? Anyone who claims has to prove!
