What are the Pope's aims in this encyclical you may ask? The NSDAP clarified the encyclical is an ideological piece against the völkisch idea of National Socialism:

"As the Pope himself states in the encyclical, it does not yet constitute a "comprehensive magisterial statement on the errors of the present day"; rather, that task is to be reserved for a "later time, less disturbed by the course of external events." In this encyclical, the Pope limited himself to a few fundamental observations. Yet these suffice to reveal the direction of Pius XII’s policy for the immediate future. The Pope places the confrontation with the National Socialist worldview—and the system of state governance based upon it—at the center of his pontificate. The foundation upon which he conducts this confrontation is Catholic natural law. In a future issue of "Mitteilungen zur weltanschaulichen Lage", we will present an account of Catholic natural law, outlining both its fundamental principles and its evolution over the centuries. Only through the lens of this Catholic natural law can the encyclical be properly understood and evaluated. The Church of Rome intends to use Catholic natural law to overthrow National Socialism. Our task will be to demonstrate to the world—both through practical application and by establishing a scholarly foundation for our own worldview—the totality, order, and power of völkisch natural law, and to anchor it firmly in the public consciousness."

"In his encyclical, Pius XII did not utter a single word regarding any culpability on Poland’s part; on the contrary, his remarks were calculated to reinforce Poland’s conviction that its conduct had been correct. The Pope made no mention whatsoever of the heinous crimes committed by Poles against the ethnic German population. This fact alone should suffice to prove that the Vatican viewed Poland as a battering ram against National Socialist Germany and as a staging ground for its grand missionary ambitions in Russia. It is patently obvious that Poland, cast in such a dual role, could never have fostered the well-being of Europe. And because the Vatican adopted a stance toward Poland based solely on ecclesiastical strategy rather than on the fundamental realities of national existence, both Poland and the Vatican lost the game."
