Abstract: During wartime, ammunition plants, key river crossings, and even entire cities are military objectives. Seldom does one think of archives as such an objective. However, the possession and exploitation of records and archives during wartime is an important means of military power and control. This article will introduce the concept of "intelligence value" as it applies to records, followed by an examination of military forces in Europe during World War II and their behavior towards archives and records, particularly those of civil and political origin.
