Hitler certainly didn't. Ironically, Pius has been tarred by people who haven't bothered to learn that Pius was the last man that the Nazis wanted to be pope.

Pius was elected on the third ballot, the fastest election in the last century. The cardinals knew he was their man and with war looming there was no time to fool around.

B16 was elected on the 4th ballot.
