Hungarian Ludwig von Wohl persuaded senior intelligence figures that he could replicate the forecasts of the Nazi leader’s personal astrologer.
He claimed that if London knew what advice Hitler, born on 20 April, was getting, they would know his next move.
But the security service MI5 had warned that von Wohl was a “charlatan”.
I must admit, I find this a little odd - both that British intelligence thought this would be a reasonable source of information about a war that was devastating Europe.
It turns out that none of his predictions came to pass, “apart from his forecast of Italy’s entry into the war, which he made when it was ‘quite patent to anybody with the slightest knowledge of international affairs’.”
Further, according to the Beeb, historians don’t believe that Hitler took any notice of astrological forecasts.
Some of the relevant files have been released and are available for viewing at the National Archives in Kew, west London.
