Hister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Hister, in the quatrains of Nostradamus, is understood by students of the seer to be a reference to Adolf Hitler.

Ister was a name used by the ancient Greeks for the Danube River (which flows through Hitler's birth country of Austria), and may have been named such for the area called Istria in what is now northwestern Croatia, where dwelt a tribe called the Histri. In ancient times before the means existed to conduct a proper survey of the Danube, it was thought that the local freshwater streams in Istria derived from a non-existent southbound branch of the Danube.
