War time effort-engineer

Hi,

This seems to be a set of papers belonging to someone who was working for the war effort, at a company, near Hamburg, Lubeck, called Dragerwerk. I am trying to find out what this company did for the war, and mainly what the individual did, an engineer named Karl Schaal. I have added some scans, maybe someone can see what was his sork? what are the letters W.L.L. that appear on the award he got, and why he got it?
And UK-Stellung, what is that?

Also, in the 1945 Volkssturm Soldbuch, who was the Brigadefuhrer who signed it in April 11. 1945? what was he doing during the war? yes, many questions and hope this is no trouble in asking you here.

Tnx,
Neil.

Hi Neil, Dragerwerk still exist today: they seem to have made a variety of breathing apparatus, medical gear, etc.

The War Merit Crioss 2nd class with swords would be given for variety of reasons, but all would be been in direct connection with helping the war effort.

I cannot help on the other questions you raised.

Cheers, Ade.
