Medical supplies for civilians by german front doctors on eastern front 1941-44
Medical supplies for civilians by german front doctors on eastern front 1941-44
Some time ago there was an interesting thread about this aspect in the german WWII board "forum-der-wehrmacht".
User have post samples and photos taken from biographies of surgeons or from war diaries.
Sadly the forum mutated to a place of leftist who didn't believe that more than a few doctors do help.
When user began to post more and more photos about medical help the leftist start revolting and the forum staff decided to take censorship.
They deleted the thread completely, horrible times in germany.
But what is your opinion about help of the medical stuff?
Help was rarely supplied or could it be a matter of course?
Have someone also found interesting references about this in NARA rolls or diaries, have also pictures from german soldiers about this aspect?
Thanks
Udo

Could this medical issue be a large desideratum of the historical research?
It seems to be a large discrepance, the british historican Alexander Hill concludes in his local study:

But nearly all of the illustrated division book and surgeons biographies have pictures about the supply. They talk about an often maked medical help for the poor rural population, see photos."In exceptional cases it seems that the local population received treatment from German doctors."

Supply at the field, in villages at the so called "Ortskrankenstube" or "Ortslazarett,
Anybody have read something about the attempt of help from the medical stuff in NARA rolls (IVb) ?
Could humanity came across to allow more than help in exceptional case?

These are pictures from the medical stuff of the 34. Infanterie division, nearby Wjasma in 1941.
Does it really looks like "in exceptional case"?

The so-called "Truppenverbandsplatz", maybe with patients or local stuff.
And a female russian student or doctor treat some german soldier.

New year, new reports. Included a home visit by the doctor.

Impressive are the diary entries with photos from Dr. Tuerk, medic of the 3th panzer division. In some villages, the people see and understand, that there is an doctor by the troup. So they bring sick people and Dr. Tuerk have to etablish a surgery hour.
444 photos from 1941 inside the book, therefrom 244 in color

Looking at these photos, I get the impression most treatments are rather superficial. Even the cases where there are several doctors around seems as minor operations... Of course, its fully possible real operations are simply not shown and thus not photographed. But still... Its just superficial skin treatments we do see... Some sprained ankle and some tooth extracting the only visible treatment...
I get sooner the impression some of them photos are made so it would look good, for the newspaper... Especielly these with several doctors around, but no visible advanced surgery... These arent no young lads learning to be fieldmedics, they must be doctors... Making a consylium on a non problem with any field surgeon or perhaps even a nurse in the local sickbay would do alone??
Ps. Im not saying such help to local civilians never happened. Im sure it must have happened.
Im just saying these here photos arent convincing me.
