You're right. What I found fascinating is how these guys theorized their way into the ballpark of what happened. They proposed eight possible future outcomes as the war unfolded and to their credit listed this one as the most likely one.
Though to be fair, the passage in context didn't so much as predict suicide but warned about a staged suicide's propagandizing impact on future generations.
- philwelch 7y agoThere was a lot of weird, now-discredited crap in that profile TBH. The part where Hitler’s grandmother was a maidservant to “Baron Rothschild” who secretly fathered Alois Hitler was mostly bizarre and unsubstantiated gossip. But the fact remains that psychology was at the time (and remains today) a very immature science, so combining that method with source data collected through the fog of war by a spy agency is bound to go down a few weird directions.
