The nazi fuehrer already pretty Well shot mentally and physically was pinning his Hope in the stars that Day since his hunches and i henchmen weren paying off according the stars Ana stripes of that Date both the Ameri cans and the russians were nearly at the Gates of Berlin and according Shirer All of Hitler s sane advisers who were still alive had Given up the cause but the Nat Eta stain already crazed with half Baleen was now putting his Hopes m some horoscopes historically. Frederick the great. King of Prussia and head of the House of Brandenburg had found himself in a similar spot Back in 1763. The prussian Leader then engaged in the sixth of the Ftp not seven Yean War. Between himself and Austria Russia. Franc Sweden and Saxony was doing too Weil the russians were inthe streets of Berlin and things looked Bleak. Then suddenly the czarina died.

The untimely death of presi Dent Roosevelt on the Tate afternoon of april 12, was the sign that these stargazers were seeking. Like the czarina of old. The death of the american president was expected Herald the new Miracle a Brandenburg. But Friday the 13th proved be an unlucky Day for Hattte perhaps i unlock est for his Miracle never came. And i 4ay� later on april 30, he took the Coward Way out by putting a Bullet through his brain.
