the monastery at Monte Cassino - 2

This monastery southeast of Rome was the scene of a major protracted battle in 1944 and today the graves of 30,000 servicemen, including Poles and New Zealanders killed during the battle are in cemeteries nearby.  This is one of the actions described in the book Seeds in the Storm by Stanislaw Dabrowski, available now.
What the monastery looked like after the battle in 1944.
