NOT in Groeneveld. NCC: "This is in reality Nazi propaganda, one of eight versions of a German original text, written on behalf of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. The name "Pasteur" only appears in the Dutch translation."

¶ The writer was Hans-Wolfgang Herwarth von Bittenfeld (1871-1942), a publicist working at the German Ministry of Propaganda. The purpose of this publication, which was distributed in eight languages ​​in 1940, was psychological warfare.

To fuel superstition and fear in hostile and neutral countries, predictions by Michel de Nostredame (1503-1566) were randomly strung together with topical comments intended to suggest that Adolf Hitler's victory in the war was inevitable. Even Goebbels was impressed by this piece of war propaganda.
