Luftschutz is a German mass organization, which was primarily responsible for fighting the consequences of air bombings in Germany during World War II, but also participated in the active anti-aircraft defense of Germany at that time. The genesis of the Luftschutz dates back to the times of the Weimar Republic, when in 1926/2917 an appropriate law was created and passed, giving grounds for the formation of a specific civil defense aimed at eliminating the effects of bombings or potential enemy gas attacks on German cities. Shortly after the Nazis took power, Luftschutz was subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Aviation. Soon after, regular training of this formation began, which was, in fact, connected with the Nazi indoctrination. In the course of World War II, Luftschutz was responsible, among others, for: helping with firefighting, maintaining airline shelters in proper technical condition, distributing simple gas masks among the civilian population, and supervision of various air raid warning systems (e.g. alarm sirens). From 1944, women were accepted into the organization.
