Hitler's Hand Print: A Professional Palm Reader's Prediction

Josef Ranald studied 10,000 handprints, believing they showed a person's real character. He got one of Adolf Hitler's prints from the Kaiserhof Hotel in Berlin and saw two mounts under Hitler's fingers. Ranald said one of these indicated a man subject tomoodiness, wide swings from one emotional extreme to another, suicidal morbidity at one moment, then fanatic self-adulation, meglomania.Hitler showed moodiness, huge shifts between emotions, suicidal sadness at times, then fanatic self-worship, and meglomania.

Jupiter and Saturn fingersJupiter and Saturn fingers.The pointer and middle fingers showed a palmist in 2010 sensed inferiority and a "" Granted, the 2010 palmist had the gift of extreme hindsight; Ranald's book was published in 1938, prior to some of Hitler's most heinous acts."The 2010 palmist had extreme hindsight; Ranald's book came out in 1938, before some of Hitler's worst actions."

Hitler's thick fingers and fleshy hands revealed to Ranald that Hitler was an "artistic type" and full of "passion." HeAnother one of Hitler's mounts also indicated he had "boundless ambition." Hitler could have used this ambition with his artistic nature, but mounts show he chose his "domineering, bullying disposition" by "demanding blind submission from everyone."

When Ranald looked at Hitler's

When Ranald looked at Hitler's, which started with a cross, he saw it ended with "a star under the middle finger." This meant his fate was out of his hands, and he was "marked out for an awful, tragic role. The destiny line stretches unbroken and bare from its tragic beginning to its violent end."Ranald warned that individual hand parts do not show the whole picture of a man's abilities; the whole hand needs consideration. Ranald did not want people with one or two traits like Hitler assigning themselves the qualities that make Hitler who he is.

Ranald noticed Hitler's life line ended in a cross which

Ranald noticed Hitler's life line ended in a cross, which "the sign of a violent end." This suggests many worries or anxieties, which Hitler had plenty. In palmistry, any cross suggests"the sign of a violent end." This also suggests many worries or anxieties, which Hitler had plenty of. In palmistry, any cross meansWhen assessing Hitler'sheart and head lines

When assessing Hitler'sAccording to Ranald, Ranald saw weakness and isolation.According to Ranald, "The line of head ends in an island, which signals some kind of brain weakness, either functional or physical. The heart line, short, islanded, and broken, shows frustration, bitterness, and cruelty. The broken, twisted ring of Venus above the heart line highlights this hand's destructiveness and unnaturalness."

Hitler certainly tended to be reclusive and alone. In 1943,Joseph Goebbels would say the same thingas he saw his "tragic" leader step back from the front of the Third Reich.

Benito Mussolini, the dictator of fascist Italy from 1922-1943, hadhands that spoke"of action, movement, endless energy, and restlessness. But more than that, they show determination at the expense of people, strength that is brutality."

Mussolini showed brutality in how he treated dissenters.He had his Blackshirts.He beat people as he gained power during the 1920s. He exiled and persecuted anyone who did not fit his totalitarian state's goals. His relentless strength, though dictatorial, took a toll on humanity.This strength was oppressive.This oppression affected humanity.

Mussolini's palm shows he was violent in several life areas.His heart line showed"a violent temper," but the mount at the "base of the thumb indicates an oversexed, violent person."

These seem like true traits of Mussolini. His relationship with Claretta Petacci involved violent encounters, includingbiting and ferocious intensity.He once bit off part of her ear and said, "I lose control... I want to thrash you, harm you, be brutal with you."

Mussolini's life path appeared on his hand lines. Ranald saw three phases matching Mussolini's career and rise to power.Phase one of his line is Apollo."Points out the self-made man. There is a sharp shift from age 25 to 40. Then, a new direction, almost a new line, grows from the old. This applies from age 40 to the late 50s. After that, nothing more."

Ranald saw little on Mussolini's hand showing he would live past his late 50s. He was only a few years off.Mussolini died in 1945 at age 61.Ranald Could See How Long Mussolini Was Going To Live.

Ranald also looked at President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's palm.Roosevelt's hands showed kindness and generosity."free-set, heavy thumb immediately hits your eye when you study the president's handprint. This shows great generosity, independence, and will. His broad, open-minded approach to problems shows in the life line, which curves far out into his hand."

Many of Roosevelt's contemporaries said he was kind and generous, especially regardingthe plight of the disabled.He tried to hide his own disability (paralyzed legs after a polio fight). However, in 1938, he founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, later called the March of Dimes.

Ranald's comments on Roosevelt's strength are interesting.Ranald saw what Roosevelt's hand spoke to his physical endurance., Roosevelt's "life line is both deep and long and is supported by the sister line of vitality, showing great physical endurance."

Roosevelt did possess significant physical endurance.He managed polioand dealt with many health issues throughout his life. He was sickly, but he showed great physical strength in overcoming limits.

Ranald, an Austrian newsman in the 1930s, learned about palmistry during the First World War. A university professor who read palms told Ranald he would live long but his friend would die young. Ranald got angry and rejected the professor's words. Later, after his friend died and Ranald avoided two near-death experiences, he...Ranald started rethinking his skepticism.He began palmistry. Using his own experiences, Ranald showed a specific interest in lifelines.
