On 15th February 1944 while 229 American bombers attacked only monks and
refugees, mostly women and children, were in the basement vaults of the Abbey,
which was destroyed through 500 tons of explosive- and firebombs until the
foundation walls. Merely the early-medieval crypt remained undamaged. Directly
after the bombing, German troops included the ruins of the Abbey into their
defence positions, which remained impregnable for the aggressors also in the
next months. Only a withdrawal for the armed forces in a northward direction,
which was commanded by Kesselring on the 17th May due to the precarious military
situation in Italy, enabled Polish exile associations to take over the Abbey a
day later.
