Hitler's Pope is a book published in 1999 by the Catholic ex-seminarian, historian, and journalist John Cornwell. It examines the actions of Pope Pius XII during the Nazi era and explores the charge that he assisted in the legitimization of Hitler's Nazi regime in Germany through the pursuit of a Reichskonkordat in 1933.

Pope Benedict XVI unfortunately was born and grew up in Germany, a country ruled by the Nazi party. He is not and never has been a Nazi.
Like all non-Jewish boys, he was forced to join the Hitler Youth and later he was drafted into the German Army.
Just hope and pray that we do not have to make a decision to be executed or live and fight for a government in which we do not believe.
Thank God that you and I live in a very different world that the Pope did in 1930s and 1940s Germany.
With love in Christ.

Not much. Mussolini marched Hitlers Army on Rome and asked the pope how many soldiers he had in his army. The Pope only has about 60 or so Swiss Gaurds so it was a no brainer.
