    Hello, few month ago,I discovered a picture of a document which shows the section of a staircase built by a unit of the luftwaffe in Paris. (the staircaise in question leads to 4 shelters)

    The unit in question seems to be the luftwaffensonderbaustab but I found nothing about them. I don't speak german so it's difficult. I can only deduct that it's a unit from the german Air Defense Office

    Do you know anything about this ? And more, do you have a lead to find the archives of this unit in germany ?

    The picture is a part of the doument in question

    Very interesting document.
    Luftwaffe house building unit
    construction project request
    I assume the Luftwaffe needed to re-construct or change some existing building and needed cash to pay locals. No credit cards accepted :police: Stefan.

    A "Sonderbau" was in German military terms usually a bunker or building which, in contrast to the standardised so-called „Regelbau“, were mostly individual facilities..

    A "Sonderbaustab" is, as the name implies, a staff who coordinates their construction and maintenance

    In your case, therefore, a staff for Sonderbauten of the Luftwaffe – like air raid shelters and the like

    However, this is the end of my accumulated expertise on this topic....:pipe:
