[…] halt the persecutions and exterminations in Nazi-occupied Europe. In his book Who Is My Liege? Young gives an authoritative account of this approach through Monsignor Montini, later Pope Paul VI, which is strangely ignored in recent lengthy and inaccurate publications on this controversial topic. For his work in Rome Young was awarded an MBE, […]
[…] von Papen in ‘the late summer of 1942’ asking if he could broker a peace between Britain, Germany and the US (but, note, not the Soviet Union). Pope Pius XII himself arranged meetings, the objectives of which would have been the removal of Hitler, the disbanding of the SS, a centre-right government in Germany, […]
[…] of German politicians, mainly Christian Democrats, who are having the report translated into German. And he had shown a copy to the Spanish Minister and to the Pope. NSIC in New York had bought 500 of the ISC’s initial print order, and another 500 had been bought by the American Bar Association. In effect […]
