> but I was thinking primarily about how armed conflict has the potential to erase history.

One notable exception was a cache of church records found in a church basement in Germany a little while back. Sixteenth to 19th century I think. Can't recall if they are Catholic or Lutheran.

They were quickly translated and put online. They included my uncle's line; the details and quality were kind of amazing.

Great news! Did the church survive due to attempts to avoid hitting it with munitions? Or was it simply the basement ceiling was thick enough?
