A loaf of bread would cost a thousand marks.

Then would come the greater war.

In 1923, German astrologer Elsbeth Eberton published her annual almanac.

One entry stood out, a horoscope for a little-known political agitator named Adolf Hitler.

She warned that this man had the chart of someone who could sacrifice himself for Germany, someone who would expose himself to danger through daring acts.

She saw violence in his stars.

She saw crowds following him.

Hitler was nobody, a failed artist turned street speaker.

But Everton's Almanac sold thousands of copies.

People read her prediction, and some believed.

And believing made them watch for him.

Across the Atlantic, Edgar Cayce had similar visions.

In July 1932, he spoke about a dangerous form of imperialism rising in Europe.

In 1935, he predicted war would begin in 1938 or 1939.

In 1941, he predicted America's entry into the conflict.

Every prediction came true.

These weren't vague prophecies about distant futures.

These were specific and highly detailed.

Prophets across centuries, different countries, different methods, all seeing the same disaster, all describing the same man.

In Munich, a small group had been collecting these prophecies for years, but they weren't trying to prevent what was coming.
