THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL CIVIL DEFENSE IN GERMANY DURING WW HI (PART I)

BY COL R. E. RICHARDSON Deputy Provost Marshal, U.S. Army Europe, Heidelberg, Germany

This first of two articles on the subject describes overall civil defense organization and operation in Germany during World War II. The author quotes an old adage as justification for this article: "When you sup with the devil, best use a long handled spoon." Since we learn by a study of the past, a study of World War II civil defense measures may add a centimeter to our spoon.

DECEMBER, 1961 were at almost full strength at the beginning of the conflict. Medical services continued adequate until the end but repair services, due to inability to replace equipment, deteriorated steadily during the last two years of the war. Men drafted for air defense service averaged about 55 years of age throughout the war and personnel remained at about 25 per cent below strength.

ORGANIZATION OF CIVIL AIR DEFENSE POLICE LEADERSHIP THE Reich Air Minister headed the civil air defense assisted by the Commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe. The Luftgau, which was the administrative organization of the Luftwaffe, functioned as the intermediate control and supervision agency of the Air Ministry. Immediately under the Air Ministry for purpose of civil defense were the Reich Ministry of Interior, the Reich Air Raid Protection League, the Reich Group for Industry and special administrations. Although in theory each of these agencies was equal, the Ministry of Interior was by far the most important because of his police and other public safety functions. The director of police in each administrative district of Germany also was appointed district air defense director, and the professional police service constituted the backbone of the civil defense system. The chain of police - air defense command which began at the ministry level extended through each adminis- trative echelon through the district, subdistrict and community. Other agencies generally followed this organizational pattern. The Reich Air Protection League was responsible for organizing and training the entire population in civil defense measures. The organization generally coincided with the Berlin-1945. German women work at brick salvage. various area administrations of the country and extended through the city precinct to the block and even individual buildings. More that 40,000,000 people were graduated from CIVIL DEFENSE Continued formal training courses conducted by this organization.

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL Division 2 (Central Registration); Division 3 (Traffic); Division 4 (Industrial); Division K (Uniform and criminal police); and Bereitschaftspolizei or emergency police. The daily duties of the West Berlin uniformed police are directed from 115 police stations where three shifts of 12 hours each are operated. After 12 hours of duty (eight hours of patroling and four of indoor on-call status), each group has 24 hours off. The West Berlin Police operates under a 45-hour week and an additional half an hour for briefing and training. JDuring emergencies all three shifts are simultane- ously alerted. Accrued overtime can be taken off as com- pensatory time during periods of quiet. Approximately 1,200 uniformed policemen, not including traffic policemen, work each shift to enforce law and order. About 60 per cent of these personnel work on foot while the remainder operate as motorized patrols. In addition to these normal tasks, two or three policemen man each of the 24 posts along the zonal border. Another 43 to 46 men protect the sector borders. Radio car patrols average 12,180 calls per month. Radio car patrols on duty during the daytime number 67 while 77 operate at night-all highly maneuverable and in contact with the base radio station. About 320 men constitute the motorized traffic enforce- ment section of the police. Radar, Traffipax and other modern equipment are utilized for this purpose.

Mounted police and members of police dog squads patrol forests, parks and other city-owned areas which are quite extensive. Police demolition experts have disarmed 6,629 bombs weighing nearly four million pounds since 1945. In addition, 841,000 grenades and other explosives weighing 121/2 million pounds, 53,000 weapons and one million pounds of ammuni- tion have been destroyed. Thirteen special police platoons for riot duty, which were established in 1951, have proved valuable to the overall police effort. Members who are on duty in three shifts during a 24-hour day are utilized to quell outbreaks of rowdyism and other minor disorders and to investigate thefts of motor vehicles. They also form an intermediate police reserve be- tween the regular station house-based police and the emergency police who live in barracks under military-type cond;tions. In addition to pistols and clubs, they are armed with carbines, machine pistols and light machine guns. Three thousand heavily armed police constitute the emer- gency police (Bereitschaftspolizei).

AN outstanding example of West Berlin police work was the handling of the Communist-inspired World Youth Festivals of August 1951 held in East Berlin and reportedly attended by more than one million participants. Fourteen thousand demonstrators crossed the sector border at several points. The mobilized West Berlin police force quelled the demonstrations without resorting to the use of firearms. Continued

Six such patrols, operating on a round-the- clock schedule, are set up to handle any kind of a situation.

Detective, Police Dept., County of Nassau, N. Y.

In the eight years I have been a detective I have investi- gated several thousand crimes of all varieties, and only on three occasions did I find fingerprints which were identified to be those of the perpetrator of the crime. This problem of dusting for latent fingerprints gnawed at me every time I lifted a brush. To assist in this problem, I decided to see if it were feasible to place powder in an aerosol container. With the help of two associates; George Hartz, a chemical engineer, and Sgt William Golden, Police Department, County of Nassau; a satisfactory combination of powder and pro- pellant was developed. During the months and years of experiment, more than two hundred formulations were utilized Left to right are Sgt William Golden, Nassau County to test the many powders and various propellants on all possible Police; Mr. George Hartz, Chemical Engineer, and surfaces where prints could be found.

ARMY MP COMPANY, JAPAN The MPs at Camp Zama, formerly a part of Headquarters, 6th Logistical Com- mand, recently were established as a separate organization and designated the U.S. Army MP Company, Japan. All MPs in Japan, except those at Tokorozawa and Chitose, were assigned to the newly formed company. The MP's basic responsibilities are well depicted by the activities of the members of the Corps stationed at Camp Zama. Within the MP headquarters at Zama, there are the PM Office and other depart- mental offices, which include the Operations Division, the Administration Section, Black Market Monitoring Section, Criminal Investigation Division, Physical Security Division, Vehicle Registration Section, and the Traffic and Enforcement Section. From these offices come the general supervision which governs American MP respon- sibilities in Japan. Operations of the Zama office are wide spread, and at the enlisted level are Lt Col Edwin R.
