Substudy "World War II": Nostra Damur - Über ältere und älteste Ausgaben der "Prophéties" (K.E. Krafft, Frankfurt am Main, 1940)
In 1940, under his own management, the Swiss astrologer/statistician and Century-scholar Karl Ernst Krafft, who from the end of 1939 wrote national-socialist propaganda, based upon the Centuries, published a periodical, entitled Nostra Damur. In the issue of Nostra Damur which is discussed in this article, Krafft describes the history of the early Century-editions, published in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. 
The discussion of Nostra Damur on this website contains a number of additional remarks and corrections to what the Englishman Ellic Howe wrote about it in Astrology and the Third Reich (Wellingborough, 1984), which in 1995 was translated into German and published under the title Uranias Kinder: Die seltsame Welt der Astrologen und das Dritte Reich.

As a result of the lecture about the Prophecies of Nostradamus which he gave for the Studium Generale, Delft, NL on November 17, 2009, Theo van Berkel was interviewed by Manu, compiler and host of the radio program Spoken, which is broadcasted every Sunday evening by FunX radio, NL. The interview with Theo was part of the edition Spoken: Nostradamus, broadcasted on December 6, 2009. In this interview, Theo answered questions about the life and work of Nostradamus, the predictional value of the Prophecies of Nostradamus and described the themes upon which he wants to do research in the coming time. This edition of Spoken also contained an interview with dr. Jan Willem Nienhuys, secretary of the "Skepsis" foundation, who was quite critical about the predictional value of the Prophecies of Nostradamus, and an interview with Maarten W.T. Post, the author of Djenghis Khan: sleutel tot het raadsel Nostradamus (Rijswijk, NL, 2001).

Lecture: Taking advantage of superstition - the Prophecies of Nostradamus in World War II
Since today, it is possible to request for a lecture about the propagandistic use in World War II of the Prophecies of Nostradamus. In this lecture, it is explained by means of authentic material, how dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels in late autumn 1939 got the idea to use the Prophecies of Nostradamus for psychological warfare, the impact of this kind of propaganda, the reactions and an unexpected aftermath. 
The lecture Taking advantage of superstition - the Prophecies of Nostradamus in World War II is meant for a varied audience and is also comprehensible for those who are not familiar with Nostradamus literature.

Substudy "World War II": The fate of the nations (A. Prieditis, New York, 1982)
Analysis of the comments of the Latvian author Arthur Prieditis upon the quatrains 10-100 and 03-57. It is demonstrated that these comments can be traced back to one of the versions of the national-socialist, propagandistic brochure, written by Hans-Wolfgang Herwarth von Bittenfeld c.s., Whether or not Prieditis consulted one of these brochures or copied these comments from publications, written by authors who in their turn consulted one of these brochures, is a question which for the moment can not be answered.

Is this date dealing with the time span of a series of predictions, does this date mean that the first part of the Epistle to Henry II dates from 1557, or do we deal with the activities of forgers?
