Medics and the DRK

Post by MrKris »

Hello all,

I was wondering, how often did sanitäters carry DRK marked stuff with them if they even did at all. I cant find anything saying if they did or not, any info will be greatly appreciated!

I take it you mean German Armed forces sanitats staff or medically trained front line troops ?

The Medical staff eg doctors ,surgeons,hospital trains etc worked closely with the DRK which was initially an independant volunteer service and NOT part of the German Armed Forces.Later on the edges were blurred and it became much more integrated within the military system.

The basic sanitats ,wearing corn flower blue waffenfarbe and serving in the Heer,Lyfty,Waffen SS ground forces would not carry DRK issued equipment only that issued to him through his own supply chain.he may have been trained utelising DRK staff at a Reserve Hospital.
Perhaps you need to qualify the question a bit so we can give you a better answer ?
