Soviet troops enter Berlin, Hitler commits suicide...the Devil is dead.

With the end of the Second World War, a new chapter in the history of Pius XII opens.

While documents prove that the Pope\'s silence was the method by which he saved thousands of people from Hitler, there is another silence that needs to be investigated.

At the end of the war, thousands of Nazis were fleeing Europe and some members of the Holy See facilitated this escape.

Why?

And what did the Pope know?

A devil died, but in reality Pius XII was fighting a battle against another devil: Josif Stalin and communism.

Ever since the Revolution of 1917, the Catholic Church had been attacked by communism with very violent repression and Pius XII, being a profound anti-communist, had never withdrawn from this fight against the other Devil.
