Description
Here is your chance to pick up a very rare Luftschutz officer visor. This example has neatly hand-sewn insignia on the front of the cap. The cap itself is in lightly used condition with minimal signs of age. Minor wear to one side of the chinstrap chord. The visor bill itself shows signs of a slight repair upon examination. Faintly named in pencil on the interior lining. A nice example of a very hard to find piece of Third Reich headgear. Click HERE to view more images of this item! The Reichsluftschutzbund (RLB) was an organization in Nazi Germany in charge of air raid precautions in residential areas and among smaller businesses. 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!
