Orsenigo believed in the Italian fascist ideal and hoped the German variety would develop into something similar . He was a controversial figure among his contemporaries and remains the subject of historical criticism for his advocacy of " compromise and conciliation " with the Nazis , particularly in relation to The Holocaust . Pius XII has been criticized by several contemporaries and historians for not replacing Orsenigo as nuncio . Pius XII left the nunciature vacant after Orsenigo 's death in 1946 until he appointed Aloisius Joseph Muench to the post in 1951
