Gasschutz und Luftschutz – “Explosive Bombs and Aero-Chemical Attacks: General Enrico Maltese on the Destructive Effects of Aerial Warfare” – Volume III, Issue No. 10 – October 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. During the 1930s, its coverage documented developments in civilian air protection (Luftschutz), chemical defence and the potential consequences of aerial warfare.

The October 1933 issue, Volume III, No. 10, features an article by General Enrico Maltese entitled “Sprengbombe und aerochemischer Angriff” (Explosive Bomb and Aero-Chemical Attack). The article examines the destructive power of aerial attacks against cities, focusing on the effects of explosive bombs and aero-chemical warfare. It provides a contemporary perspective on the perceived threats posed by military aviation and chemical weapons during the interwar period.
