However, given the imprecision of bombing in those days (it was estimated that only 10 per cent of the bombs from the heavy bombers, bombing from high altitude, hit the monastery) bombs did fall elsewhere and killed German and Allied troops alike, although that would have been unintended.
Međutim, uzevši u obzir nepreciznost bombardiranja (procijenjeno je kako je samo 10% bombi iz teških bombardera, bačenih s velike visine, pogodilo opatiju), bombe jesu pale na druga mjesta ubivši nešto njemačkih, ali i savezničkih vojnika, iako to nije bilo s namjerom.
