...were being subjected to even worse persecution than we astrologers." Or, even worse, " 'You must meet Himmler,' Kersten told me. 'You'll like him. He is a nice man.' " So Wulff, who had been arrested in a roundup of astrologers after Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess's 1941 flight to England (Hess was believed to have consulted astrologers about the most favorable date for his departure), got invited to lunch at the castle of Heinrich Himmler, commander of the concentration camps and the SS. Wulff was impressed by "the cordiality of his welcome...
From then on, Himmler apparently inundated Wulff with demands. When would Hitler die? Wulff claims he predicted the Führer's demise for the end of April 1945 (the actual date was April 30). Would the Yalta Conference succeed? Should he flee to the Alps? Wulff rarely tells us his answers, much less any of his reasons for them.

"Very interesting," the Führer remarks, in a line straight out of Laugh-In. Hitler's doctor appears; he describes how he has come to suspect a link between smoking and lung cancer. "Disgusting," the patient snaps. Nobody is at ease with him. Goebbels, rigidly clasping an umbrella pole, hastily jettisons a cigarette stub when Hitler...
...tree, dispensing its generous light over the festival. Even today, one cannot laugh at this breathtaking kitsch. It is chilling; no level of folk culture could be impervious to the message. Such was the nature of cultural totalitarianism. Every image was skewed to point to the Führer-but otherwise left intact...
