The RLB  was organized by Hermann Göring in 1933 as a voluntary association.  Existing volunteer air raid precaution associations were forced to merge  with RLB. The RLB was in charge of educating and training ordinary  German men and women in civil defence procedures necessary for the basic  level of local self-help of the civil population against air raids. The  local level was formed around air raid wardens and operated in small  first intervention squads. The training included fire fighting,  protection against chemical weapons, communication procedures and  preparation of houses and apartments against air raids. The RLB was  dissolved by the Allied Powers after the end of World War II.  Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!         LA
