Stephen Southwold, an English author, predicted the date of the outbreak of World War II. In Valiant Clay, a book published in 1931, he predicted Sunday, September 3rd, 1939. The Tsarina Anna Ivanovna, a cruel woman, became enraged with Mikhail Galitsin. She ordered him to marry the ugliest woman in Russia, with all the dwarfs, freaks, and buffoons of the empire in attendance. The bridal couple were sealed in a bedroom of ice, with sheets and blankets of ice. The temperature was at 40 below zero, yet the couple survived and later twins were born to them. The empress died at the time of the twins' birth. Believe It or Not!
