How did Vatican help Nazis after WWII?

Answer 1

It provided a lot of them with Vatican passports so they could escape to South America.

Answer 2

It didn't.

The Vatican did not sympathise with the Nazis. There is a widespread misconception that they did, but the historical evidence shows that the Vatican worked hard to save hundreds of thousands of Jewish people by making fake baptismal documents and allowing them to hide in Church properties.

After the war, the Catholic Church was far too occupied with other things; they weren't at all concerned with helping Nazis.

Also, Vatican citizenship was absolutely not given to any Nazis. Vatican citizenship is given only, only, ONLY to the people who work in the Vatican. And, it wouldn't give the Nazis any help.

See, some Vatican citizens are also diplomats. Diplomats get diplomatic immunity; it happens with every country, where an ambassador can commit small crimes but still go free.

Diplomatic immunity isn't teflon, though. Murder (the crime of the Nazis) is not covered by diplomatic immunity.

Also, diplomatic immunity isn't in effect within your own country. For example, the US Ambassador to Japan would have immunity in Japan, but not within the US. So even if the Nazis had citizenship with the Vatican (which they did not), it wouldn't have done them any good since they still would have been able to be prosecuted in Germany.

Nazis did get to go to South America, but it was only because of help from South American governments, and there was no help whatsoever from the Vatican. Juan Peron (husband of Evita) was a known Nazi-sympathizer. He was the one who helped Nazis get into his country.

The Vatican is often blamed for things like this, but those claims are totally ridiculous and aren't validated by anyone who really studies history on a university level.

Answer 3

They helped a lot of them get away to South America.

Answer 4

IT'S JUST A FABLES
