The Health Personnel in the different divisions of the German Army (Heer).
The doctors of a division (IV b of the divisional staff) were technical superiors of the medical corps and directed the medical troops of their own division. In the 1st and 2nd wave infantry divisions, these were divided into:
1st Medical Company (mot)
2nd Medical Company (horsedrawn)
field hospital
1st ambulance train
2nd Ambulance Train
Its staffing was 21 officers, 10 officials, 71 non-commissioned officers, and 429 men. The divisional health medical material warehouse, 2 sets b, comprised a total of 48 boxes of medical material weighing 10 tons. This supply should supply a division for three days in a large-scale battle.
In the divisions from the 5th wave, both medical companies were covered. Starting with the 7th wave, the field hospitals of the divisions were eliminated and the task was taken over by the army doctors. Only the 8th wave divisions received another field hospital (horsedrawn). In all subsequent waves, the medical units had been more or less cut back.
