Gasschutz und Luftschutz – “Chemical Warfare, Civilian Evacuation and International Gas Mask Programmes” – Volume VII, Issue No. 3 – March 1937 – 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 the development of civilian air protection (Luftschutz), chemical defence and international approaches to civil preparedness.

The March 1937 issue, Volume VII, No. 3, includes an important article by Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Flury entitled “Über den chemischen Krieg” (On Chemical Warfare), examining the scientific foundations and development of chemical warfare. Another contribution, “Die Räumung als Luftschutzmaßnahme” (Evacuation as an Air-Raid Protection Measure), explores the role of civilian evacuation in air-defence planning. The issue also reports on air-raid and gas-protection technologies presented at the Leipzig Spring Fair of 1937. Further coverage examines international developments in civilian gas-mask distribution and protection programmes in Britain, Denmark and France.
