Nazi Germany considered the Catholic Church to be a serious threat to its domestic security and its international ambitions. In Germany, informants provided intelligence, but in Rome, German attempts to penetrate the Papacy were less successful - except for the codebreaking work.

Another One for the Specialist,
By El Cutachero (MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nothing Sacred: Nazi Espionage Against the Vatican, 1939-1945 (Studies in Intelligence) (Paperback)
Frank Cass among other things publishes several scholarly journals including Intelligence and National Security, one of the bulwarks of the historical genre. Ocasionally one of the issues is repackaged and presented as a standalone volume. They consist of many short articles.Others in this series are complete studies prepared by one or more authors. The present volume is one of the latter. Quite interesting but exceedingly narrow in scope. Little would be gained by a detailed analysis. The title says it all. This is of interest only to the specialist. We must be thankful that Cass finds it practical to publish for us.

Insight into how Hitler regarded the Vatican.,
By dchvatal@teleport.com (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nothing Sacred: Nazi Espionage Against the Vatican, 1939-1945 (Studies in Intelligence) (Hardcover)
Here's factual research on Nazi espionage against the Vatican, but little insight about true collaboration between Vatican officials, including Pope Pius XII, and Nazi secret police. Interesting insights into how Hitler's agents worked at cross purposes. They did break Vatican radio codes early in the war. Nothing here will directly implicate the Vatican's policies regarding ultimate sympathy with Nazism.
