I've never had fish gills (without the fish) come up in a reading myself, however I would be inclined to interpret it as an alternative life support. Meaning, things may be about to change, drastically and an unusual or unexpected source will step up or appear to make the transition less traumatic. Do not turn down a solution, no matter how strange it may first appear.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
