Summary/Abstract: After the outbreak of World War II the Military Archives in Warsaw evacuateda small part of their own records and those of the Military Institute of History.Depleted because of the military actions, those records reached Romania, wherethe director of the Military Archives, Major Bolesław Waligóra and his assistantWładysław Bocheński inventoried the records that survived, preparing them forfurther evacuation. This point is as far as historical knowledge on them reaches.The author has found documents proving that in 1940 they landed in Marseilleunder the custody of Major Jan Ludyga-Laskowski and from there they were to betransported to London. In the end, however, they were sent to America throughLisbon.
