Following a December 1939, report from August Hlond, detailing the oppression of the Catholic Church in Poland, Pope Pius XII decided, among other measures, to use Vatican Radio to provide "information regarding the condition of the church in Poland." The German broadcast on January 21, 1940, compared German activities to "what the Communists imposed on Spain in 1936."; the English service noted the attacks on the Church were not limited to the Soviets.

During World War II, Vatican Radio's news broadcasts were (like all foreign broadcasts) banned in Germany.

In January 1940, Vatican Radio broadcast August Hlond's reports of German persecution of Jews and the Catholic clergy in Poland. These reports were included in the report of the Polish government to the Nuremberg Trials after the war.

Cardinal August Hlond reported in August 1941 to the secretary of state that the Polish people believed Pope Pius XII had abandoned them. This was said in light of the Nazi persecution of the Polish church and clergy.

Archbishop Hlond lived in southern France from 1940 to 1944 during most of World War II. He was arrested by the Gestapo on February 3, 1944, but was freed by the Allies on April 1, 1945. He returned to Poznań on July 20, 1945. He was transferred to Warsaw and named primate of Poland on June 13, 1946. He strongly opposed the communist regime there.

Just to be 100% accurate: the audio clip from 0.03 to 0.08 is recent - it doesn't date from World War II.

@capsule35 Of course, same as noises, pictures and labels are also just added in editor. Rest comes from an American newsreel.

[granskare]

works for me as well - nice video and it will help explain the Vatican stance in ww2

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@granskare - maybe a bit, but if you`d like to know more, i put some links and text into the clip`s description.

The last link on the bottom can explain why there was no papal nuncio to Poland until 1989...

@cuvinteleluitati Daniel 7:25 says the anti Christ would try to change Gods times and laws it is very known that the popes take full responsibility for changing the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday and this is a fulfillment of what Daniel said about the anti Christ trying to change Gods times and laws. Daniel 8:11-12 claims the anti Christ would exalt himself as high as Christ and the popes did this when they called themselves vicarus filii dei JESUS substitute on earth.

The pope is the beast of rev 13 and the catholic church is the harlot of rev 17. Proof REV 17 SAYS THE ANTI CHRIST AND THE HARLOT CHURCH ARE united in power and are LOCATED IN ROME. . Paul said satan would hi jack the Christian church and install the anti Christ in it who would claim to be God (2 thess 2)THE POPES claimed to be God's equal. Rev 17 says the beast and the harlot kill Gods saints, it was the popes who gave the orders to torture and murder 50 million Christians in the dark ages.

Poland was invaded by Slovakia too

[PolskiNarodowiecND]

What does he mean when he says:'The Polish people,both Catholics and Jews alike'?There are Poles and Jews and one cannot be of two nationalities at the same time.He should've said:Poles and Jews and that would've been proper.I hate it when Jews are mentioned or call themselves as Poles.Poles are of noble blood and Jews...Well...Ha ha ha ha

Vatican had agreements with everybody because Vatican is a religious Church not a political organization to take sides. Grwo up.

[MaximusProteus]

@hoffabrando Japan? Can you give me some source about concordat with it? I couldn`t find such an information in google.

Obviously Vatican had to have some relations with Italy, especially if it was in conflict since unification of Italy and Pope was a "prisoner of Vatican". I know they had relations with Germany, as well as with Vichy France, but again... i can`t find when was any concordat signed with puppet Croatian state.

[hoffabrando]

@MaximusProteus

I will tell you a secret the Vatican had a concordat with Japan, as well a nazi Germany fascist Italy fascist catholic Croatia.

I suppose Japan is a catholic country also.

[MaximusProteus]

@hoffabrando I`m not sure if i understand you (and don`t understand why your channel is unaviliable in my country).

Vatican had concordates with almost all of the states where lived catholics, can`t see anything special about it.

Mussolini precisely was calling fascism a "new religion of XXc" and national socialists in Germany were more into a pagan occulth of strenght (social darvinism) run by Himmler with a sun (sfastic) as thier sumbol.
