"Reichs Luftshutz Bund" (National Air Defence League). This was a similar organisation to the British A.R.P. The League was founded in 1933 and was originally a branch of the Party. All their officials wore the special uniform of the League. From their origin, this organisation functioned on military lines, their officers holding ranks and receiving promotion similar to that of the army. Enlistment was at all times voluntary. During the war years the League had the status of a semi-official Police Force, and many of its recruits and officers were women.
