The astrologer : how British intelligence plotted to read Hitler's mind

Parris, James2021
Book
In the darkest days of the Second World War, with Europe falling under German occupation and Britain facing invasion, a 36-year-old refugee from the Nazis, Louis de Wohl, made a curious offer to British intelligence. Based on the widely-held belief that Hitler's every action was guided by his horoscope, de Wohl claimed he could reveal precisely what advice the Fuhrer's astrologers were giving him. In 'The Astrologer', author James Parris examines the evidence, including recently released files, and reaches remarkable conclusions about this bizarre aspect of the war.
