Heh heh. No comment on the tragic circumstances you investigated, but I wanted to mention the following.
In the winter of 1939-1940, a French general consulted a well known "mystic" who used such a method. His question was where the Germans would launch their main attack.
Her "divining weight" pointed to the Ardennes in the area of Sedan.
Of course, it was all dismissed as a form of entertainment, because, after all, the Ardennes could not be crossed by large-scale motorized forces.
Cheers
Touche my friend. Don't get me wrong, I still checked the area pinpointed, by 4x4 and a helicopter. "Just to be sure".
Kind regards,
