Destroying the abbey didn't help the allied cause. The Germans hadn't occupied it but afterwards used the rubble for good defensive positions.

The Germans learned that lesson from Stalingrad, when the Russians used the rubble there to their advantage.

Saw the recent movie featuring dueling snipers in Stalingrad this weekend.
