Did you ever hear that during WW2, the Vatican was bombed? Twice?

The first incident occurred on November 5, 1943, when an unidentified plane circled Rome for hours, then the mysterious aircraft suddenly dropped five bombs, four of which fell on papal territory.

The first exploded near the railway station. The second destroyed a large part of the Vatican mosaic workshop. The third hit the façade of the Palazzo del Governo. Finally, the fourth hit a square behind the basilica, shattering the surrounding stained-glass windows to smithereens. The last one didn't go off.

The bombs "weighed between 100 and 150 kg, (220 - 330 lbs, ed.) were highly explosive, burst immediately, and produced small craters but had a large range of action," noted Cardinal Secretary of State Luigi Maglione the following day.

Public opinion blamed the Fascists or the Germans. The Americans believed that the plane was one of their bombers that got lost and dropped its bombs on the wrong target, and secretly admitted so to the Vatican.

The city was also bombed a second time, in March 1944, but that was a much simpler case of a British bomber missing its target.

Steve, you were telling me about this during SEMA, and mentioned that it was the world's worst navigator on an American bomber, but I couldn't find anything online about the story you mentioned
