  other watercraft, airfields, aircraft, depots of arms (whether military or sporting), documents connected with
  the conflict, all varieties of military equipment (including that in the hands of manufacturers), component
  parts of or material suitable only for use in the foregoing, and, in general, all kinds of war material.
  6-114. If private property is seized on the grounds that it is susceptible to direct military use, a receipt should
  be given to the owner, or a record made of the nature and quantity of the property and the name of the owner
  or person in possession of it, in order that restoration and compensation may be made at the conclusion of
  the armed conflict.
  Private Real (Immovable) Property
  6-115. Private real (immovable) property may not under any circumstances be seized. It may, however, be
  requisitioned (see DOD Law of War Manual, 11.18.6.3).
  Property Control
  6-116. Public and private property within occupied territory may be controlled to the degree necessary to
  prevent its use by or for the benefit of hostile forces or in a manner harmful to the Occupying Power.
  Conservators may be appointed to manage the property of absent persons (including nationals of the United
  States and of friendly States) and of internees, property managed by such persons, and property of persons
  whose activities are deemed to be prejudicial to the Occupying Power. When the owners or managers of such
  property can resume control of their property and the risk of its hostile use no longer exists, it must be returned
  to them.
  6-117. Measures of property control must not extend to confiscation of private property. However, the
  authority of the Occupying Power to impose such controls does not limit its power to seize or requisition
  property or take such other action with respect to it as may be authorized by other provisions of law.
  Municipal, Religious, Charitable, and Cultural Property
  6-118. The property of municipalities and institutions dedicated to religion, charity and education, and the
  arts and sciences, even when State property, is treated in the same manner as private property. Just as private
  property may be subject to requisition and us for contribution and certain other purposes during a military
  occupation, so may such property be subject to such demands (HR art. 56).
  Determining Whether Property Is Public or Private
  6-119. Under modern conditions, the distinction between public and private property is not always easy to
  draw. For the treatment of property under military occupation, one must often look beyond strict legal title
  and ascertain the character of the property based on its beneficial ownership. Thus, for example, trust funds,
  pension funds, and bank deposits generated by private persons are not to be regarded as public property
  simply by reason of their being held by a State-owned bank.
  6-120. Property that is ostensibly private but is subjected to a large measure of governmental control and
  management, or property that is used to perform functions that are essentially public, would tend to be viewed
  in practice as public property. If the Occupying Power appropriates property that is beneficially owned in
  part by the enemy State and in part by private interests, the occupation authorities should compensate the
  private owners to the extent of their interest. Such compensation should bear the same relationship to the
  compensation that would be paid if the property were entirely privately owned. The Occupying Power may
  take those measures it deems necessary to ensure that no portion of the compensation paid on account of
  private interests accrues to the enemy State.
  Property of Unknown Ownership
  6-121. If it is unknown whether certain property is public or private, it should be treated as public property
  until its ownership is ascertained.
