Yes, and he claims to have been unenthusiastic and anti-Nazi, but there is controversy over that and there are competing stories.
Frankly, what he did at 14 in Germany (we've all seen JoJo Rabbit) is a lot less relevant than what he did in later life. It's his pre-papal writings, when he was a theologian and then when he headed the inquisition that tend to be on the frightening side. He was one of our scarier Popes.
