*sigh* No, it's not true - the most that can be said is that he didn't condemn Hitler at every single possible opportunity, and that was for the very reasons you state.

However, Time Magazine quoted Albert Einstein as saying the following in 1940, while Pius XII was Pope: "Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing the truth." And multiple New York Times editorials of the time called the Vatican a "lone voice in the wilderness", and the Pope the only European leader to speak out against Hitler. Israeli scholars have credited the Vatican with saving the lives of over 700,000 Jews during World War II - if it wasn't for those evil anti-Semitic Catholics, as he would like to portray them, we'd be talking about 7 million Jews killed by Hitler, not 6.

I'm sorry I brought it up now. I just wanted to warn you, the guy is clearly a troll.

This troll reminds me of someone at DU. I once singed up to discuss tax issues over there and got intangled with a female econ professor. She claimed that tax cuts didn't have an effect on the economy. Amazing.
