New
articles in the substudy "World War
II"
De profetieën van Nostradamus
(Van der Willigen in: Astrologische Wereldschouw, April and
May 1940)
In this article, two reviews are discussed, published on April
12 and May 8, 1940 in the Dutch newspaper Het Vaderland (tr.:
The native country). These reviews contained appreciative
critics on articles about the Centuries, written by one
Van der Willigen and published in the Dutch magazine Astrologische
Wereldschouw (tr.: Astrological view upon the world).
Van der Willigen argued that within a couple of years, German
troops would invade France by crossing the Swiss border; French
troops would defeat them seven months later. Next, France would
compel a peace.
On May 10, 1940, these bright
perspectives were completely ruined.
Unfortunately, Van der Willigen's original articles are not
available for www.nostradamusresearch.org, but the points of
contact in the reviews in Het Vaderland unveil one of the
Century-comments he consulted during
the writing of his articles.
Information
on Hans Bauder
From 1942 until his death in 1954, the Swiss Hans Bauder
wrote Century-comments. This article contains information
about the life of this colourful personality who managed to
recover from a period in his life which was quite tempestuous
and dedicated himself to research on destiny, future and the
meaning of the Centuries.

to 1945 minister of People's Enlightenment and Propaganda in
Nazi-Germany, in his quality of organizer in the Ministry of
Propaganda of propaganda campaigns, based upon the Centuries,
Century-comments and/or Nostradamus' reputation as an
astrologer, prophet and/or seer who was able to look far into
the future and whose reliability was supposed to be shown in the
numerous predictions in the Centuries which in the past
were supposed to be fulfilled.
In Information on dr. P.J. Goebbels, political aspects
are discussed which behind the scenes played a part in the
writing in November-December 1939 of the German source text of a
Nostradamusbrochure, by Hans-Wolfgang Herwarth von Bittenfeld
c.s., ordered by Goebbels (its English version:
What will happen in the near future?).

Goebbels.

"World War II": Nostradamus - Unsere Stellung zum
Schicksal (W. Zimmermann, Zielbrücke-Thiele, 1940)
In this article, a non-political
brochure on Nostradamus is discussed, written in 1940 by the
Swiss social reformer Werner Zimmermann. Zimmermann wanted to
help his compatriots to raise above the misery of the war.
For Zimmermann, it was beyond
reasonable doubt that in the past, a
great number of predictions in the Centuries were
fulfilled and that in quatrain 03-57, the beginning in 1939 of World War
II was predicted, as was shown in especially Nostradamus - Prophetische Weltgeschichte
von 1547 bis gegen 3000 (Bruno Noah, Berlin, 1928 [1927])
and next in Die Weissagungen des Nostradamus (Carl Loog,
Pfullingen in Württemberg, 1921 [1920]).
Did the people who in 1940-45 read Nostradamus - Unsere Stellung zum
Schicksal notice that the spiritual attitude,
recommended by Zimmermann, rendered the Centuries
superfluous, despite the fact that he was positive about their
predictional value? Did they notice that Zimmermann's evidence
for the predictional value was not as waterproof as he
suggested? An analysis.
