A newbie, here.

I am researching hand crank sirens, like the type that a Jersey member posted on this forum a few years ago. (http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/field-…slands-320340/) Does anyone know about the history of the manufacturers? For Germany, I see Helin and Mende. I suppose these sirens were part of a soldier’s kit, to be able to warn civilians of upcoming air raids? Or would they have been for home use by civilians themselves?

Looking forward to your responses!
