In the past decade there have been several great books about Pius 12th actions during the war and it is the complete opposite of that Soviet propaganda that he aided
Hitler.
Mark Riebling "Church of Spies". The book was drawn from recently accessed papal archives. The Pope would send Hitler a birthday card, while plotting to kill him.
Absolutely, Pius was smeared. It was such a revisionist history to think that a guy literally surrounded 360° by Mussolini’s fascist state could’ve done any more than he did during that war. Thank you for the tip, I will check that book out
