Nazi Germany considered the Catholic Church to be a serious threat
to its domestic security and its international ambitions. In
Germany, Hitler's agents recruited informants to provide
intelligence on Church finances, and on the political views and
activities of bishops, priests and lay Catholics. In Rome, however,
German attempts to penetrate the Papacy were less successful, with
the efforts of the local Gestapo office proving largely futile. For
example, a plan to use a Roman seminary as a secret radio station
and cover for German intelligence officers masquerading as
seminarians had to be abandoned, in part because the first group of
officers proved to be more interested in women that in the
cloistered life.
