Now with the Neutral status of the Abbey blown away the germans quickly moved in to occupy it. Now the Abbey 05 Miles South of Rome was truly a fortress with a formidable Garrison instead of a few holy men and a band of wretched refugees Quot and so the Folly of the Allied leadership provided the Cerman army with a stronghold which prolonged the fight for the Gustav line by three Mon his at greatly increased casualties especially among the Brave new sealanders Quot writes american historian Herbert Bloch in his Short work bombardment of Monte Cassino. The Abbey was finally taken on May 18 in hand to hand combat by the forces of the free poles at a tremendous loss of men. Eleven Hundred poles Are buried in the Shadow of the monastery near where they fell. Less than five years after having Given the order that called for the Abbey s destruction Clark offered these thoughts in his memoirs Quot i say that the bombing of the Abbey was a mistake it. And i say it with full knowledge of the controversy that has raged around this episode. Quot not Only was the bombing of the Abbey an unnecessary psychological mistake in the propaganda Field but it was a tactical military mistake of the first magnitude. It Only made our Job More difficult More costly in terms of men machines and almost immediately after the Battlefront had swung past Monte Cassino a leaving hardly a tree in the area standing a plans were made to rebuild the Abbey. To Date the fallacy persists that the Abbey and the surrounding City were rebuilt with american funds. The . Government contributed nothing to the reconstruction and private contributions from the United states mostly from monasteries were meager. The bulk of the restoration funds came from the italian government and the Benedictine order. Monte Cassino s congregation moved Back in september 1952. Today the monastery again sits sacred at the top of a five mile drive up the Mountain.
