Europe's greatest prophet:The uncanny
words of Nostradamus.
-------------------------------------
Article written by Sandman. (With the
help of some books).

Hitler was in the act of unleashing
world war,the wife of his Minister of
Propaganda, Josef Goebbels, drew his
attention to a remarkable set of
prophecies which had been made 400
years earlier.
These prophecies were written by a
Frenchman called Nostradamus and they
seemed to predict the rise of Hitler,

"HISTER".
