Document of False Prophecy at Ebay.de
by GermanXJW inat http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/ebayisapi.dll?viewitem&category=34417&item=3310492410 there is the picture of a magazine "der bibelforscher" (the bible students) from 1914.. interstingly the headline says "the current war will not see a victory of those involved, but armageddon will follow, says pastor russell".
apparently, german bible students went around proclaiming that armageddon was to follow the war.. seems to be one of the more embarassing papers, i could not find it in the index at all.. you can enlarge the photo at the adress above.
