Was WWII....

Before the war, Hitler rounded up and jailed astrologers and fortune-tellers because he didn't want people listening to them instead of to him, but later relented and let them out, and even signed one up as his own personal astrologer.
It probably went like this-
HITLER (in mid-1939)- "I hope you don't bear a grudge because I jailed you?"
ASTROLOGER- "Nah mein fuhrer, perish the thought!"
HITLER- "Good, now tell me, what do the stars say I should do?"
ASTROLOGER- "Invade every country in sight and become World Ruler"
HITLER- "Would there be any risk in it for me?"
ASTROLOGER- "None at all, you can trust me"..:)
