The Churchill thing is worse than that. They intercepted information that the Germans were planning to bomb a particular small city, and Churchill had to let the city get bombed because they felt they couldn’t afford to lose such a strategic advantage just to save one city.

I hink that was Coventry...in the midlands and a center of engineering technology (in those days).
Coventry Cathederal was eventually rebuilt from the ground up.
