Re. arming medical vehicles there seems to be varying opinions on what is allowed, e.g.Piotr Mikołajski wrote:Well, I looked to the Red Cross and Geneva Convention, not to the books about modern combat medicine. Both sources mention personnel weapons, not AA armament.peeved wrote:Guess that makes the use of or mounting of defensive weapons allowable. But what would those be?
https://www.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/ ... 5_sectionbAccording to the Report on US Practice, it is the opinio juris of the United States that
[medical] personnel and medical vehicles may be armed, but in international armed conflicts, they may use their weapons only in self-defence and in defence of their patients against marauders and against those enemy forces that do not respect their protected status.
Removing mounted armament (if any) appears to have been the custom although the Panzerjäger I in the last photo retains its AT gun. From exp. eBay.de. Auction N:os embedded in pic names.Piotr Mikołajski wrote:TBH I don't remember dedicated German medical vehicle with armament.
