My 203, October 28.3 Note dated January 8 from Secretariat of State states that the Holy See has just received communication from German Embassy to the effect that “insofar as the German military authorities are concerned everything possible is being done to preserve the Abbey of Monte Cassino from war damage both at the present time and in the future”.
