At the outbreak of the second world war, the Gestapo put a stop to this “superstitious nonsense” and began prohibiting pilgrimages and placed the four girls in the lunatic asylum at Götingen hospital. After a few weeks the children were released but forbidden to go near the place of ‘The Apparitions’.

From there they went to their houses to prove that they were in perfect health.

Thereafter the appearances were in different places, which they marked with a sign on the stone. Later the four seers had to join the German Army as nurses.

New apparitions of Our Lord and the "angel of justice" began. Jesus appeared to them and said, "Humanity has not heard My Mother. The times are serious. The angels of justice are spread throughout the world. For those who do not have grace will be scary. What will happen will be terrible, how come we have seen since the world began. The humanity is worse than before the flood. The world lies in the obscure darkness. I want to save everyone. This generation deserves to be destroyed, but looking at the right, I'll leave that my mercy eventually triumphs."
