Hitler's Strategic Mistakes, Black Magic, And The Novelist,
Evelyn Waugh.
The security services, according to Waugh, knew Hitler was deeply superstitious and set in motion a plan, using African Witchdoctors in London, to hex him.
In view of the tactical mistakes he made during the war could there be even a remote possibility that Waugh had stumbled upon one of the most successful secret service operations?

There's an interesting account of Nazi occultism here
I think this is correct - I was in a Psychical Research Society at college (dowsing - which does work for some people) etc. and I'm certain that I picked-up that the UK 'nasty tricks dept.' somehow managed to influence the atrological charts in which he set such faith.
I did learn to cast horoscopes, which was very interesting, and they could often be interpreted in different ways - it is the interpretation that counts.
In the book a lady went into the uncharted wilds of the East End to try and find an obliging African doctor who would help her by performing an illegal procedure.
She was told by his former neighbours that he now worked for the government.
Waugh may have heard a whisper about the witch doctors and put it into his book.
