The so-called prophecies about world war III

Granted, there is a lot of bullshit if you read them, with very few actual concrete references. But when there are, it is sometimes freightening to read.

When? Where? How?

As for when, the most concrete reference is mentioned by Josef Naar from Fuhrmanl, Bohemia, 1691-1763

Signs of the large world war are: if the way to the forest is closed by barriers and wooden locks; if iron roads are built by the forest of Bohemia and around; and humans travel in fiery cars. The last ‘flying’ road will be built near the Kubani mountain.

• Kubani mountain is in Russia, near the sea of Azov.
• The last 'flying road' could be the large bridge over the sea channel, connecting Russia with Crimea.

Now, when exactly?

Well, the war in Ukraine must have started, then add a few months:

Wessel Eilert / Old Jasper, Germany, 1764-1833 tells us this:

In the year in which the war begins, it will be already possible to gather the corn but not the wheat.

• So in about august or october, if there is a very dry summer.

A lot of prophecies speak of general unfaithfulness at the end times, but considering every generation says the same about the coming generation, we can't include that in the timing.

About the most famous prophecies from Nostredamus: since the guy himself stole them from another guy, then made them rhyme to sell it better, well... it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess. I stole a few rhymes here and there.

Also, don't bother with celestial signs, there are celestial events every year. Prophecies used to begin and end with a celestial sign, otherwise, who would believe them back then. But if you are interested, I could let the war start around October, 25th, 2022 because of the partial solar eclipse visible in Europe and Russia.

Where?

Matthias Stormberger, Germany, 1753-1830 has some details (which I included in the story)

Overnight it will take place - in a pub in Zwiesel many people will be together, and outside soldiers will ride over the bridge. The people will run out into the forest. Those who hide themselves at the Fuchensriegel or at the Falkenstein remain spared.

Zwiesel is a small village at Czech border, I suppose the bridge he is talking about is the Regen that meanders through a large part of Bavaria. Falkenstein lies between Regensburg and Zwiesel. So I wrote the first battle in Germany in Regen, between Zwiesel and Falkenstein.

Andreas Rill, Germany, 1914

Up to Danube and Inn everything is raised to the ground and is destroyed.

Alois Irlmaier, Germany, 20th century (not all that believable, but he offered me the strategy for the three-wedged attack, which was actually quite decent from strategic point of view.)

The lower one goes towards the forest, suddenly it changes its course towards the North-West, going parallel to the Danube. The front is in Prague, the Bavarian forest and the North-West. The blue water is the South border. The first front goes from the blue waters North-West and reaches the Swiss border. Up to Regensburg there are no bridges across the Danube, they don’t come South of the blue water. The second great wedge will come over Saxonia, westwards against the Ruhr. The third army column from the North-West will go westwards over Berlin. Day and night the Russians run, inexorable their goal is the Ruhr district. It all goes very quickly and fast. From the Danube to the coast will be under control of the Grays. A massive army comes from the East into Belgrade and moves towards Italy. Later, three armored wedges advance like lightning to the North of the Danube over West- Germany towards the Rhine, without preliminary warning.

How?

Yes, how will it start? I suppose it will start because the idiots in charge of the whole bloody thing counted on a NATO reaction in the first place. And then, just like in World War I and II, the conflagration is spread all over the continent.

Weapons used? I had to do a lot of research, really, a lot...
