What was the Battle of Monte Casino?

Battle of Monte Cassino was one tough battle. It involved a very high hill with a Catholic Church / historic building on it. The Nazis took that high ground and waited to shoot down the Allied Forces as they approached the hill and the road leading to Rome. The battle dragged on for a long time. Many men died. The Catholics were notified the allies wanted to bomb the building to kill the Nazis. The Priest and towns people removed icons and paintings. The building was bombed but the Nazis did not die in the building. The removal of the paintings was a dead give away to the Nazis the building was going to be bombed so they stayed away from it when it was demolished. In the end the Allied Forces were the victors.
