English Translation

- 57 - The typical smell of the luminous gas will prevent this gas from being affected by major errors, but it should be noted that the use of the normal gas mask is a serious error, the cause of which lies in the unfortunate word formation and inadequate instruction. - The presence of explosive gases is more dangerous. Once, through the detonation of a bomb, a displacement of all oxygen occurs from the spaces hit and even slightly attached, which also extends to adjacent, undamaged but connected rooms. Secondly, the rooms are afterward filled with nitrous gases and especially with up to 60% carbon oxide, and at last, perhaps covered by debris, they hardly have any natural ventilation, as well as newly formed cavities within the rubble cones practically closed by the outside air, to preserve their essence for a long time. The repair service must be sufficiently informed about this. Before it is established, a second or even third man must be roped or/introduced to the intruder for the eye or ear connection. In principle, however, the second or third man is not there for the help, but only for the alarming of further forces, because he himself can already be so affected that he and his successor at best lie next to the affected first man. The oxygen devices or CO-pigs of the Jnst-service must be kept in order, so that the single fall of heated furnaces can already put a good cellar or Räume under smoke or co-gases.
