It is well known that Adolf Hitler was a Catholic, but what is not generally talked about is the close connection the Vatican and Jesuits played in the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazi movement is said to be a Vatican movement that was trying to restore the Gentile Roman Aryan system of the past.

The Nazis signed many concordats with the Vatican such as the "Reichskonkordat", signed July 20, 1933 in Rome. It is believed that the Vatican was closely associated with many of the banks behind the Nazis through their ties to European banking families. The Vatican was also involved in creating "Ratlines" that were used to help Nazi war criminals escape to safety.
