The hope of breaking Nazi power while preserving Germany from the destiny of utter destruction and bloodshed that awaited it in the last months of the war was a noble one, even if in the end it proved to be unrealistic. If Pius sinned with this hope, his was a noble sin.
教皇希望能粉碎纳粹力量，同时也能让德国免于在战争的最后数月中被彻底毁灭和流血的命运。这是一个崇高的希望，即使在最后被证明是不现实的。如果皮亚斯因怀有这一希望而被定为有罪孽，那么他的罪孽是一宗崇高的罪孽。
