Flakhelfer on the roof of a building, Trettaustrasse, Hamburg, 1944

and various other Flakbatteries. As from 1943 schoolchildren and women were called up for service with the homeland flak units Heimatflakbatterien due to the increased requirements during the escalation of the Allied bombing raids on German towns and cities. Most otherwise abled bodied men were already at the front or had become casulaties and manpower was becoming short.
