New book - SANITATSFAHRZEUGE – German field ambulances and other medical evacuation vehicles.


Recommended Posts

This is book no 13 in the superb Tankograd series “Imperial German army weapons and soldiers of the Great War 1914-1918”.  

Published in English, spread over 96 pages it has 235 incredibly sharp photographs almost all of which have never been published before.

Fourteen chapters explaining the operation of the German medical service; chain of evacuation, horse drawn ambulances; motor ambulances by manufacturer; ambulances of civilian aid organisations; medical staff cars, trucks, busses, trailers as well as the more unusual methods of evacuating the wounded such as cable cars, trams and narrow-gauge railways.

What makes these book so remarkable is the large number of incredibly detailed photographs for which the author has drawn upon his own collection. I have been collecting WW1 images for over 30 years and clearly understand how much effort has gone into establishing such an amazing archive and which I am genuinely thrilled to see published.
