Wehrmacht Medical Care in Photos and Documents
I've been researching a subject of medical care for sick and wounded in Wehrmacht from first aid at the front to hospitals and convalescence facilities in Germany proper. I've assembled a collection of photos showing various aspects of the medical service under wartime conditions: hospitals, personnel, transportation, equipment, first aid, vaccinations, dental care, etc., which I'd like to share.
I looked for a thread with the same content here but didn't find it. If I missed a similar thread, please move my posts there. There is a thread on medical transport vehicles, but wounded and sick were transported not only by car, but also by horse, train, airplane and boat, so the pictures of the latter could go here. As always, your pictures and other input are greatly appreciated.
For the starters: photos from a Wehrmacht hospital in Smolensk, dated November 1941. Source: BPK.
A Spanish nurse with a patient. Spanish nurses receiving their awards. A Russian Red Cross nurse.

More on the Wehrmacht hospital in Smolensk. November 1941. Source: BPK
Wound treatment. A doctor with an X-ray. Spanish doctors from Blauen Division. The Russian sign on the wall says: Study (or Training) Department. Judging by the little stars, it could be a part of a Soviet army barracks complex.

Thank you for sharing your photos! Sorry, I haven't visited the forum for a long while because of the craziness at my work as we have moved to a new office.
Is there any indication where the photo with the children was taken? It looks like Germany or Austria to me.
Here are a few press photos from BPK showing similar, albeit more formal, visits in German hospitals in the beginning of the war.
