BRITISH intelligence hatched a plot during the second world war to flood the world of astrology with fake horoscopes in an attempt to influence Hitler.

They planted fake predictions of his imminent death in a bid to destabilise his regime. Details of the plot are divulged in papers released last week at the National Archives in Kew, southwest London.

It was devised as a propaganda weapon by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), set up by Winston Churchill to sabotage the Third Reich.

Hitler was known to be interested in astrology. As early as 1923 he had taken heed of a prediction that a man with his birth date would sweep to power, although his beer hall putsch in Munich later that year ended in imprisonment.
