We have so far carefully avoided bombing the Monastery of Montecassino. The Germans took advantage. The battle is getting closer and now we have to aim our weapons, after trying in every way to avoid the bombing of the monastery of Monte Cassino against the sacred site. Please be advised that I'm able to save. We warn you urgently. Let now the Convent! Consider this warning! We give you for your good ... 142 Flying Fortresses threw 287 tons of explosive bombs of 250 kg and 66.5 tons of incendiary bombs of 50 kg each, were followed by 47 B-25 B-26 and 40, which dropped 100 other tonnes of bombs with high potential. The convent buildings were destroyed and the outer walls were opened wide gaps. The old abbot, when he sees the horrible, needless destruction, feels bitter seized by despair. In the courtyard of the Priory opens an enormous crater created by a bunch of bombs. The cloister has collapsed, the roof of the tower destroyed. The palm trees which decorated the courtyard of the Priory for years are now only of miserable butts. The central courtyard - attributed to Bramante - was blown away, its colonnades, of unique beauty, and the beautiful Loggia del Paradiso collapsed, torn by bombs, lost forever. The author of the text was more of the paratroopers, the commander of the Btg / 2nd Regiment.
