The Vatican has opened to scholars and historians part of its vast collection of archives.The section being opened covers the rise of Mussolini and Hitler and the run-up to the World War II.
It dates from the reign of Pope Pius XI, who was pope from 1922 until just before the outbreak of war in 1939.
Details of the Vatican's relations with Germany's Adolf Hitler and Italy's Benito Mussolini are expected to be of great interest to scholars.
