Following the horrific gas warfare in the trenches of WWI, gas masks were a standard piece of equipment of Wehrmacht soldiers in WWII. German gas masks were issued in a waterproof metal canister, which protected the somewhat fragile rubber mask and glass eyepieces. A cleaning cloth was stored at the bottom of the canister. Military gas masks were normally issued with a small container holding anti-fog lens inserts, which in an emergency could also be used to replace broken gas mask lenses. Straps allowed the canister to be carried out of the way, at the small of the back. A gas cape was often strapped to the side of the canister for ease of use.

This silent, German Army training film "Protection Against Respiratory Toxins" shows the proper use of a cartridge gas mask. (According to the title card at (:23), the film is a cutdown or edited version of a longer film.) The elaborate film uses both stop motion and cartoon animation, live action, and diagrams to show mask components (:40), how the mask should be put on (1:30), with care taken to make certain it is properly sealed and tight, and that vision is not obscured (7:45). It also shows maintenance / cleaning (most German masks came in a metal storage container with a cleaning cloth) and proper storage of the mask, using metal frames (4:30) supplied to keep its shape. At (4:59) a supply depot is shown with rows of masks and cartridges on display. The film's title cards at (7:16) also mention that early issue WWII gas masks had a larger "dead space" than later models, which caused a shortness of breath or breathing difficulties during exertion. At (9:06) it explains, "With the S-mask, only the inhaled air flows through the filter. The exhaled air flows out through the exhalation valve."

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
