The task of the real " Monuments men " was very substantive and vast. Even to this day it is ongoing. One item that I didn't know was that they also protected art from being damaged during war. Such as protection from bombings by building walls around sculptures. Even back then, they knew walls worked !

substantive
adjective SUB-stun-tiv
Definition :
1 : having substance : involving matters of major or practical importance to all concerned.
2 : considerable in amount or numbers : substantial.
3 a : real rather than apparent : firm; also : permanent, enduring.
b : belonging to the substance of a thing : essential.
c : expressing existence.

Did You Know ?
Substantive was borrowed into Middle English from the Anglo-French adjective sustentif, meaning "having or expressing substance," and can be traced back to the Latin verb substare, which literally means "to stand under." Figuratively, the meaning of substare is best understood as "to stand firm" or "to hold out." Since the 14th century, we have used substantive to speak of that which is of enough "substance" to stand alone, or be independent. By the 19th century, the word evolved related meanings, such as "enduring" and "essential." It also shares some senses with substantial, such as "considerable in quantity."
Examples :
"How many more carefully researched reports will need to be released before we finally act in a substantive way to protect our only home, planet Earth?" — Edwin Andrews, The New York Times, 14 Dec. 2018.
"These are the moments—funny, yet substantive and cuttingly insightful—that will remain in the collective memory long after Ralph Breaks the Internet leaves cinemas and many of its meme jokes lose their relevance." — Jim Vejvoda, IGN (ign.com), 20 Nov. 2018.

I sat on my back patio and watched the whole thing. It was a bit chilly. The sky was so bright and clear last night.
