Note the report in column 3: "New Messiah Prediction"
(Astrologers in conference at Harrogate made several predictions, including that someone born at 19 seconds past 5:15 a.m. on May 11, 1941 may be the Messiah. They also predicted that that time would be the height of an unsuccessful invasion attempt. I think it is safe to say, both predictions were wrong.)

Note the headline report: "Panzer Units Stalled, Nazis Routed"
(This report may have been a little premature. While the Germans met strong resistance, to say at this stage that they were routed was very far from the truth. By Apr. 30th the "routed" Germans would fully occupy Greece.)
