Nostradamus et la Seconde Guerre Mondiale

Nostradamus has predicted:

The landing of the allies in Reggio di Calabria

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

Quatrain IX-95

Le nouveau fait conduira l'exercite,
Proche apamé jusqu'auprès du rivage:
Tendant secours de Millanoise eslite,
Duc yeux privé à Milan fer de cage.

The new feat of arms will take the army,
On the beach near Calabria :
Looking for help from the elite of Milan
The duke dead, in Milan metal cage.

Analysis:

modern french, fait : fait d'armes, de guerre, feat of arms, exploits in war.
will lead to,
modern french, armée, army.
No english translation for this word. After a thorough search in french, english, italian, spanish and latin dictionaries and encyclopedias, I finally turned to the Dictionario Encyclopedico Lello Universal in Portuguese and here is what I found: apamestinos: antigo povo da Calabria. Translation: apamestinos: ancient people of Calabria. This line reads as follows: Proche de l'endroit où vivait le peuple apamestin, Near the place of origin of the apamestine? people, thus near Calabria. Unfortunately, I found no name of town or village similar to apamestinos, which leads me to believe the word applies to the tribe itself, with no corresponding name of a town. Therefore, the apamestines were in fact, calabrians. For instance, the word celtic applies to the people of many countries, but there is no specific country that bears that name. There were also two ancient towns with the name Apamée, one in Syria and the other in Phrygia. And because there are two, I do not believe any of them is what we are searching for: as we will see in the interpretation of quatrain II-72 concerninging the Rubicon, Nostradamus is quite specific and he would have found a way to let us know which one it was.

Interpretation
The new operation will lead the army
On the shores of Calabria.

History
During World War II, the various phases of the European operations were identified with a code name, for instance 'Operation Overlord'. Thus the exercite [army] in question is that of 'Operation Baytown', the landing of the allies in Italy, on the shores of Calabria:

Landing of the Allies in Calabria

[P.195] The plan of Baytown.
The task entrusted to general Montgomery in 'Operation Baytown', [le nouveau faict] consisted in 'conquering a bridgehead on the tip of the italian boot in order to allow our naval forces [l'exercite] to manoeuvre in the straight of Messina, and pursue the enemy with the strength at your disposal, remembering that the stronger the attack against the enemy forces in the meridional part of Italy, the more successful 'Operation Avalanche' will be'. ..
[P.211] ...As to the place and time when each company did get a foothold on the shores, there seems to be contradictory testimonies...two of the batallion's landing crafts drifted on the left, and dropped half of company B on the shores of the 17th brigade, almost two miles north of FOX; furthermore, the unit's war reports reveal that the rest of the company turned off to the right, thus setting foot on the shores of Reggio [di Calabria]. [proche apamé]
