Description
The Vatican's Secret War Against Hitler Revealed. Pope Pius XII has long been shrouded in controversy, with some accusing him of complicity in the Holocaust and others dubbing him "Hitler's Pope". However, a lesser-known aspect of his papacy remains untold: his role as an anti-Nazi spymaster. Behind closed doors, the Vatican's leader was secretly plotting against the Third Reich. He sent birthday cards to Adolf Hitler while working to kill him, skimmed from church charities to fund covert operations, and surreptitiously recorded meetings with top Nazis. The Vatican spy ring, under his leadership, actively worked to undermine the Nazi regime. This book throws open the doors of the Vatican's secret world, revealing astonishing events in the history of the papacy.
