You’re right of course but the detractors of Pius XII always fall back to the argument that “he didn’t do enough” that he “didn’t speak out” against the Nazis. Their argument is rubbish, of course, but it sounds good. The pope’s calumniators don’t care about the fact that he saved thousands of Jews in Italy, particularly in Rome during the Nazi occupation. It suits them to repeat the lies made by Hochhuth because it allows them to bash the Church, which is really all this whole thing is about. Bigots like “Uncle Chip” are pathetic and I pity them.

Apparently you don't have the guts to speak directly to him.
