Only for information:
there is a thing in the history of prophetical writings called vaticinium ex eventu, foretelling after the event, meaning, a prophecy is corrected after a predicted event occured in some way. Plain English: the predictor is always looking at real historical events thus hoping to improve his prediction - which is in fact no foretelling, but pretention and lie.
Such vaticinium ex eventu style is often used for instance in the writings of Nostradamus. You might research the problem with Hitler in Nostradamus`s verses.
The problem of vaticinium ex eventu has often tried to hide the real story behind it by making it appear long before a historical event - thus it is intented to appear as real foretelling to those who believe it.
One good example is the gospel of Mark, the oldest of the gospels. In it the author let Jesus say things about the time after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, as if it was a foretelling. The time of destruction was 70 a.d. Problem: it was not able yet finding a proof Marc wrote before 70 a.d.! The opposite is true - all witnesses point at a time after 70 a.d.! That means, the verses Marc put in Jesus`s mouth about the destruction of the temple are not real fortelling, but vaticinium ex eventu!
You may do your own research and find answers with a patient heart!
