Devilish plot of Hitler’s horoscope

[Kellanved]

BRITISH intelligence hatched a plot during the second world war to flood the world of astrology with fake horoscopes in an attempt to influence Hitler.
They planted fake predictions of his imminent death in a bid to destabilise his regime. Details of the plot are divulged in papers released last week at the National Archives in Kew, southwest London.



It was devised as a propaganda weapon by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), set up by Winston Churchill to sabotage the Third Reich.

Hitler was known to be interested in astrology. As early as 1923 he had taken heed of a prediction that a man with his birth date would sweep to power, although his beer hall putsch in Munich later that year ended in imprisonment.

I have no idea where to post this - guess this is the best place ;-).

1. I read about this a long time ago. Since Hitler

had Astrologers(many of whom were killed after forecasting bad news for Hitler), our side hired Astrologers to tell us what his were telling him. One of those not so well known facts about WW2. Love it.

2. Yep! Astrology is there for all

to take advantage of..good and bad. It would be interesting to know what hitler gleaned through astrology. And how brilliant of the adversaries to find out what they could from astrology.

I wish some of our Dems would study it!
