- Abstract
- This document presents information on air attacks and on civil defense preparations and accomplishments in the city of Hamburg, Germany, up to the time of the large scale attacks that-started on July 25, 1943. The bulk of the document consists of a chronology of policy bulletins, pamphlets, orders and organization plans for emergency service situations. A civil defense system was developed in response to preconceived and observed effects, from the covering of windows to the preparation of shelter rooms, to poison gas protection, to shelter habitability, and finally to the recognition of fire as the major hazard to be faced.
