Luftwaffe Gasschutzschule der Luftwaffe

[Andwwils]

I know it had to be one of the backwater commands of the Third Reich, but what exactly did the Luftwaffe Gas Protection Schools teach? Given that lethal gas was generally not used as a battlefield weapon during WWII, I am led to assume that the LW Gasschutzschule was oriented more towards air-defense reaction, ie: the gasses produced by Allied bombardment of large cities and industrial works.

I'd like to know more about this, but can't find anything too detailed online. Help and input is appreciated.

The commanding Officer of the Gasschutzschule der Luftwaffe was Generalleutnant Adolf Laule

How many Luftwaffe Gas Protection Schools were there? I have a soldbuch for a man who spent most of the war at Gasschutzschule II, but according to this website: http://ww2.dk/ground/schule/gas.htm there were only two.

It would be neat to find out what the curriculum was at these places.
