She's carrying a Gasbettchen (Gas Bed) for infants and even used for toddlers...This one is made through the 1930's-40's...A bellows pumped air though it as you see under her arm...
For older kids not yet aged enough to handle a mask there was the Gasjäckchen (gas jacket)...Same principle...

Still manufactured and available today for your baby or toddler...

Wow. Can't imagine what it was like to have to be so careful like that.

Ok, The college as a whole is pretty impressive. Add more nudity and it would have fit right into my barrecks.

This one would fit well with the "writing on the wall" ones from the other recent galleries. Kinda expect there to be someone trapped in a dry well in the next room with a poodle named Precious and some lotion in a basket..... Creepy

Suasponta, how very true.
This picture makes me cold with the shadows and water. Was it cold down there?

About the masks pictured...From left to right...

Left: M-44/1944 civilian mask (volksgasmaske)...Alloy filter, also came with a cardboard filter when alloys ran out...

Second from left: VM-37/1937 civilian/military ? mask (volksgasmaske 37)...I can't see if it has a neck strap on the back which would make it civilian and an earlier version...Civil defense was issued these too....

Third in line is the GM 38/1938 military mask (and carrier)..gasmaske 38..

And lastly on the right looks like a 200 series gasmaske ? used through the 1930's...A civilian mask for industrial purposes instead of warfare applications...
If not then a mask used through the 40's and 50's that is made of rubber instead of rubberized canvas...The mask looks rubber in the picture which would date it later than the 200 series...Anyways the exhale valve gives it away as an industrial mask...
As far as I can tell that is what it is...Perhaps that is an ID card under it...?...
