Gasschutz und Luftschutz – “Explosive Bombs, Aero-Chemical Attacks and Civil Defence Protection Systems” – Volume III, Issue No. 1 – January 1933 – German Edition
Description:
Gasschutz und Luftschutz (Gas Protection and Air-Raid Defence) was a German monthly periodical dedicated to civil defence, chemical protection and military technology. Published between 1931 and 1945 by E.S. Mittler & Sohn in Berlin, the magazine emerged in response to the chemical warfare experience of the First World War and the growing importance of military aviation. It aimed to inform civilians, industrial organisations and civil defence personnel about protective measures against potential aerial and chemical attacks.
The magazine regularly featured technical studies, gas-mask technology, air-raid shelter designs, warning systems, protective equipment and civil defence procedures. Following the establishment of the National Socialist regime, its coverage increasingly reflected the expansion and organisation of civilian air-raid protection (Luftschutz) in Germany.
The January 1933 issue, Volume III, No. 1, includes an important technical article by General Enrico Maltese entitled “Sprengbombe und aerochemischer Angriff” (Explosive Bomb and Aero-Chemical Attack). The article examines the destructive potential of aerial attacks against cities and the effects of combined explosive and chemical warfare. Further technical contributions investigate filter measurements for civilian air protection and testing procedures for protective chambers. These studies document contemporary approaches to filtration technology, protective infrastructure and chemical defence during the interwar period.
