WORLD WAR II GERMAN FIRE DOCUMENT TRANSLATIONS

Abstract

The report describes the general content of several World War II German documents on war-caused fires. Major emphasis was given to the translation of reports of the Hamburg police president and the Hamburg fire department action reports. The translated version of an evaluated report written by Hans Rumpf, colonel of the German fire protection police, on the fires resulting from the German attack on Rotterdam on May 14, 1949, is appended to illustrate points of practical information in regard to fire protection methods, fire damage, behavior of people in fire situations, and other factors relating to the spread of fire (e.g., methods of construction).
