Astrology and psychological warfare during World War II / Ellic Howe.

First ed. published in 1967 under title: Urania's children; published in 1968 under title: Astrology.

"For the purposes of this paperback publication a lengthy historical analysis of the survival and revival of astrological beliefs in Great Britain and France has been reduced to a few pages. The present version, therefore, is almost wholly concerned with three related themes: the extraordinary German astrological movement of the period 1920-41 and its destruction by the Nazis; the career of Karl Ernst Krafft, the Swiss astrologer who was supposed to have advised Hitler; and finally the employment of astrology and the prophecies of Nostradamus for psychological warfare purposes during World War II"--P.
