Fonds Moscou

"The Moscow fund" is an important source of Belgian archives predating 1940. These archives were seized by the German army when it entered Brussels in 1940 then removed by the Soviet troops in 1945. In addition to the archives from political parties or the Ministry of Justice, the boxes from the National Defense Ministry (called the Ministry of War before 1920) constitute the main part of the archive. Despite their repatriation to Belgium in the spring of 2002, their content today remains largely unexplored, particularly from the point of view of military history. The archives of the Fonds Moscou concerning Belgian defense are currently preserved in the Royal Army Museum in Brussels.
