Luftschutz
After a certain BBC program on Thursday night I came across this helmet that was used by the Luftschutzwarndiens (The Air Protection Warning Service). The Luftschutz were made of of civilians and their job was to alert other civilians of air raids by the use of sirens and searchlights. On 2 April 1943 Hermann Göring made all civilians become part of the Luftschutz and this included women and children. This is a historical item to remember the past so it doesn't happen again.
