Nostradamus has predicted

The 7 regiments of Special Forces will conquer the Alps

According to my own method of interpretation,
only french lines in dark blue will be analysed and interpreted


Quatrain III-39

Les sept en trois mois en concorde,
Pour subjuguer les Alpes Apennines:
Mais la tempête et Ligure couarde,
Les profligent en subite ruine.

The seven, in three months, jointly,
To conquer the Apennines Alps:
But the storm and cowardly Liguria,
Bring them to the point of sudden ruin.



Analysis:

en concorde

subjuguer
Alpes Apennines.


in concord, in the sense of to work together towards a goal, cooperate.
to subjugate, to conquer.
the Apennines, a range of mountains extending from the north of Italy into Sicily.
Here we have the number 7, a 3 months' period of time and a concerted action by various groups of soldiers. The second line gives us the location of the event, the Apennines. The event in question is a battle fought by that group of soldiers to conquer a certain territory. Now, the expression in concord [en concorde] has a special signification: due to rigid military discipline, a regiment is always in concord, so to speak. However, the regiments here do not belong to the same army groups, and are therefore brought together, in concord. In order to establish if the prediction came true, we have to find an event that has all those charactéristics.

Interpretation

Reunited under the same command,
The seven batallions of Special Service Forces
Will conquer the Apennines in a period of three months.

History

During World War II, the Americans had formed a special troupe with the best batallions [en concorde] of various army corps. . This group was called Special Service Forces which would be assigned to very special and dangerous tasks.
The part of the Apennines located in the soutern part of Italy between Cassino and Campobasso was the target of the allied forces, and it is in that zone that the first detachment of the Special Service Forces was sent:

The feat of arms of the seven regiments
of Special Services
[P.444] In 1942, these troops, led from the beginning by colonel T. Frederick of the Unites States army... were made up of three regiments of two battalions each and another for administrative purposes... [les sept en concorde]
...At the end of october, [1943] these troops sailed for the Mediterranean; at the Quebec conference, the chiefs-of staff had decided the unit could be of use in the Apennines, or even better, in the Alps if we could penetrate as far north...To that first detachment, was given the task to capture two of the highest peaks, mount La Difensa and mount La Remetanea...[pour subjuguer lkes Alpes Apennins]
[P.446] ...the first six weeks in the mountains had decimated the ranks of Lthe detachment. Frosbites and other effects of cold weather had caused nearly as many losses as the enemy fire. Operations against mount Majo and surrounding hills had cost the canadian battalion of Special Service ForcesL 14 losses and 53 wounded. At the end of january, those losses and others suffered earlier, had cost the battalion 26 officers and 323 non-commissioned officers and privates. ..
When they finally conquered the Alps, the 7 battalions were transferred to major-general Lucas' army corps and another mission:
...The canadian battalion thus weakened, the detachment disembarked at Anzio february 1, and were on the line of fire the next morning with major-general Lucas' 6th army corps.
(Les Canadiens en Italie - Lt. Colonel G.W.L. Nicholson)

NOTE:
The mission of the seven regiments lasted 3 months, but the intervention in the Alps lasted a little more than 6 weeks. Thus, having left for their special mission in the Alps at the end of October 1943, the 7 regiments of Special Service Forces put an end to it three months later, february 1, 1944, [en trois mois] and joined the 6th army corps until the next mission.
