German
Air Protection Federation [Reichsluftschutzbund (RLB)]
The
RLB was established by the Reich Air Ministry in April,
1923, from the existing Deutsches Luftschutzverband
(German Air Protection League) by Hermann Goring's declaration
that the RLB was to be the official air raid protection
service of the state. The primary mission assigned to the
RLB was to protect the cities and population from hostile
attacks. This group was also charged with training the civilian
population in civil defense subjects and air raid precautions.
With the exception of a small cadre of career officers,
the remainder of the force was composed of volunteers similiar
to the U.S. Civil Defense Corps. A little known fact is
that the RLB was actually subdivided into two separate formations:
the Luftschutz (Air Raid Protection) and the Warndienst
(Air Raid Warning Service). After 1943, the Warndienst became
a part of the German Order Police although it still functioned
as the Air Raid Warning Service of the Reich. For more information

the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich", or some of the
other reference books that we offer.
