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. It became an important contemporary publication documenting the development of civilian air protection (Luftschutz), medical preparedness and related technical practices during the 1930s and the Second World War.
The May 1933 issue, Volume III, No. 5, includes a special feature titled “Sanitätswesen im Luftschutz” (Medical Services in Air-Raid Defence), examining healthcare organisation and first-aid services within both civilian and military air-defence systems. Particular attention is given to the protection of hospitals against gas attacks and aerial threats. The issue also presents a detailed study entitled “Die Gassanitätsausrüstung des Heeres und der Heimat” (Gas Medical Equipment of the Army and the Home Front), covering medical equipment and preparations for dealing with chemical warfare casualties.
