Fire Department [Feuerwehr]
    Under the Nazis, the Various German fire departments were in effect nationalized and placed in the hands of the Minister of Interior, who, in turn, relegated the fire departments as subordinate units within the overall police structure. In 1939, a different branch of the police was organized for the purpose of better protecting the cities against fires resulting from air raids. The resulting units were designated Feuerschutzpolizei (Fire Protection Police). All of the larger German cities were required to convert their existing fire brigades into these new police fire-fighting units.
