However the bombs failed to hit their target. One fell near the road known as&nbsp;<em>La Costa<\/em>. A couple hit the area close to the Cartiera and Contrada Guazzoli. Another fell near the old cinema in Ponte Melfa, but this failed to explode. On sunny clear days the Allies continued their air raids, targetting roads along the important German communication centres, supply routes and gun emplacements. However, many of the bombs failed to hit their targets and the citizens of Atina suddenly found themselves directly in the firing line. There was another bombardment on the 1st November, All Saints Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the 5th&nbsp;November there was a mighty rumble as a large menacing squadron of flying fortress bombers darkened the sky over the valley from the direction of&nbsp;San Biagio Saracinisco. This was quickly followed by the deafening noise of the mighty explosions throughout the town. There was no time for anyone to run and try to find a place of safety. The people were left stunned and incredulous. The raid left a shocking scene of devastation. There were several dead and injured, many buildings and civil habitation throughout the town had been destroyed or severely damaged. There were huge bomb craters where the explosions had occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the 12th&nbsp;November at around 11am a formation of 18 bombers again dropped their deadly loads onto the town of Atina, which resulted in severe destruction, and many more fatalities and casualties. Many outlying areas of the town were also hit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the 13th December, on the feast of Santa Lucia, Atina was heavily bombed as the Allies tried to hit the bridge over the Melfa. There were several more casualties and fatalities. Atina was bombed yet again on the 28th December.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Merci \u00e0 Louise Shapcott<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 19th October 1943 the first bombs were dropped on Atina by the Allies who were aiming for the bridge across the River Melfa.
