Yes you did have to remove your everyday wear glasses off in order to don most protective masks because mask lenses are not script...
They would also cause seal problems...
If you wore prescription glasses you were issued a set of wire framed lenses that fit like swimmers goggles ...Instead of a straight ear piece there is a 'C' that comes off each lens and wraps around the ear to hold them in place with no movement...
The ear piece and nose piece are connected to lenses by springs...If you were to see someone wearing a set it would look something like monocle over each eye...This design is still used today...
Prescription sets were primarily used for people that went into a toxic environment to work or clean up, other than that the mask is donned to get out of an area quickly and not usually worn for a long period of time...Other than that you just have to deal with not being able to see properly for a little bit or die...

The wax paper packets were plastic replacement lenses and the tin is anti fogging inserts in the picture as I mentioned above...

Probably it's a ventilation shaft - because I would decipher the letters as "Bei Gasalarm schließen" means "To be closed at gas raid".
