Between January and May of 1944, the Allies fought the German Nazi Army in what is now known as the Battle of Monte Cassino.
It took four attempts to break the stronghold of Monte Cassino itself, and a quarter of a million total Allied troops, as against one hundred and forty thousand German troops.
Fifty five thousand Allied soldiers were marked as dead or wounded, and some twenty thousand dead or wounded listed on the Nazi side.

It was however, only two German officers who were entirely responsible for having saved the treasures - mostly books and scrolls and manuscripts - of the Abbey's library, only a few months prior to the first bombing assaults by the Allies on the Abbey of Monte Cassino.
The great masterpiece of science fiction - A Canticle for Leibowitz - was written by a member of the original bomber crew that destroyed the ancient Monte Cassino monastery, American author Walter M. Miller Jr.
He based his post-Apocalyptic social science fiction novel on his experiences during the War and on what happened at Monte Cassino. The story depicts a future order of monks dedicated to the mission of preserving the surviving remnants of man's scientific knowledge, in the aftermath of devastating nuclear war, until the day the outside world is again ready for it.
I lifted that last sentence word-for-word from the Wikipedia entry.
The world of human beings is not now, nor will it ever be 'ready' for the true power of real and authentic science knowledge.
The mission to preserve certain kinds of knowledge is not ever for the purpose of handing it over, or back, to men.
The purpose of preserving certain kinds of knowledge - is to have it in the first place.
And be able to make use of it absent of the twisted mentality of having agency with no earned right to it, to the power to destroy other people.
This is the reason no advanced Extraterrestrial Alien species is ever going to contact human people as a group, broadly-speaking, on the planet Earth.

The human species is a flawed species, with no prospects for self-resolving those issues which bind it to a dead-end channel of forward movement.
Women are not better than men in this regard; it's only the character of the clever lies, which is different.
Fundamentally, women tend to see themselves as always competing to possess something, on account of which you will typically see the negative propaganda coming from that quarter, if it is a matter of losing out on control over that particular 'Monte Cassino.'
The winners of the Battle of Monte Cassino, were Captain Maximilian Becker and Lieutenant Colonel Julius Schlegel.
You may own something when you can afford to pay in the currency of exchange for that good. And that is just a manner of speaking (about those things), anyway.
But this is not to say the human being does not have consciousness and intelligence. It certainly does have those things.
But on the whole most examples of the human species lack too many of the other necessary components to be very close to being molded into something workable any time soon.
As for the real treasures here, well, Monte Cassino.

And every now and then, on a clear moonlit night, one might be able to catch a glimpse of something flitting around the skies there, and dropping a few readers off.
Ah but you don't believe that do you.
Only - only, mind you - two dozen of the lowly lowly Embassy staff, may have been affected by Darth Vader's amazing distance choke hold. According to the joint US intel community report issued last Wednesday.
Time for Darth to make a step up, then, I guess, in his targets...
