The Prophetic Frenchman was a mysterious French man, who was captured by German forces in August of 1914. He told a German officer that Germany would lose the First World War and that a large economic depression and massive inflation would follow. He also prophesied the emergence of Adolf Hitler, World War II, and its similarly disastrous end for Germany. The prophecies of the Prophetic Frenchman were related by Andreas Rill in a letter to his relatives in Untermühlhausen, Germany. When Rill wrote the letter in August 1914, popular opinion in Germany held that World War I would be soon over and that Germany would be victorious.
