2. Document set LBD Dordrecht
This is an extensive set of documents related to the air protection service of Dordrecht. The documents include the extremely rare air protection service ID card, in this case belonging to Mr. Kes. There is also a document from the Ortskommandant of Dordrecht, granting permission to the bearer of the L.B.D. ID card to be outside during curfew hours. This permission was necessary for carrying out the L.B.D. work. Another document is from the Mayor of Dordrecht. The Mayor (at that time, the NSB Mayor Johan Gijsbert van Houten) provided the holder of the ID card with this document as an exemption from labor service for the benefit of the Wehrmacht. The holder’s work for the L.B.D. made them indispensable in Dordrecht. Additionally, there is a “Personnel requisition air protection service” document, which describes the duties that the L.B.D. member had to fulfill. (Click on the photos for an enlargement).
The two documents below also belong to the collection. The first document is an extract from the Employment Contracts Decree for the core personnel of the air protection service in the Municipality of Dordrecht. It contains interesting provisions regarding the granting of wages, leave, and child benefits. The second document pertains to the general procedure during an air raid that requires assistance from the medical service. It outlines the specific steps to be taken and by whom, in the event of an alert received by the medical service of the LBD in the Krispijn district. (Click on the photos to enlarge them).
