All these items seemed to pertain to the Luftschutz - volunteers who helped warn civilians of attack using air raid sirens, interpreting military transmissions, and maintain order. The list is a breakout of equipment costs in German Reichsmarks, and the estimated worth in Euros today.

An old friend of mine was 8 years old in Hamburg at the time. His family would post him at the front window of the house while they listened to radio broadcasts from outside Germany. Trucks would patrol, (Luftschutz?), with detection equipment that could sense the presence of an operating superhetrodyne radio set. (Tube-type) He would then warn the adults if he saw the truck coming. Getting caught would lead to the standard dire consequences.
