"After the other war (1914-1918), the Jesuits' general, Halke von
Ledochowski, had conceived a vast plan… the creation, with or without
emperor Hapsburg, of a federation of the Catholic nations in central and
eastern Europe: Austria, Slovakia, Bohemia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia and, of course, Bavaria.
"This new central Empire had to fight on two fronts: on the eastern side
against the Soviet Union, on the western side against Prussia, Pro-
testant Great-Britain and republican, rebellious France. At that time,
Monseigneur Pacelli, future Pius XII, was nuncio in Munich, then in
Berlin, and an intimate friend of Cardinal Faulhaber, von Ledochowski's
main collaborator. The Ledochowski plan was the dream of Pius XII's
youth".(29)
But was it only a dream of youth? The "Mittel-Europa"
What Hitler tried to organise was very similar to that plan,
"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler… "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth,
than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organisation into my own party…
I am going to let you in on a secret… I am founding an Order… In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth
which will make the world tremble… Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.."
