MANY have heretofore doubted the evidences we produced during the war years proving that the Vatican not only helped Hitler to power, but actually acted as a spy-center for Nazi military intelligence.

To convince these ‘doubting Thomasas’ we reproduce below a photostatic copy of a recent important news item from the N. Y. Times that gives absolute proof that the Vatican tipped off Hitler, through Otto Abetz, chief Nazi diplomat in Paris, that our American troops were planning invasion of North Africa. Here is the item:

Abetz Says Vatican Gave Tip On Africa

By Wireless to The New York Times.

PARIS, June 20 — Adolf Hitler was warned in August 1942, through sources originating in the Vatican of the Allies’ North African plans, according to evidence read before the examining magistrates today in the case of Otto Abetz, former Nazi diplomatis representative in France.

The magistrate read before the high court’s examining commission letters discovered on Herr Abetz’ directions buried in the Black Forest.

In one of these addressed to Hitler Herr Abetz recalled that he had advised the Fuehrer as early as August, 1942, of the Allies’ preparations for the invasion of North Africa which he said he had obtained from Vatican sources.

Note that this is confirmed by a recently discovered letter of Abetz to Hitler clearly stating that his information was received “from Vatican sources.”
