I love how at 17:15 they allowed the chaplain to keep working and were nice to him.
The red cross armband worn by British Airborne medics wasn't the large white one as shown but a green/khaki armband with a small white circle with red cross only about two inches in diameter.
I don’t care what you say, SS is not letting those men go

It’s worth mentioning that when he said medical platoon it was probably for stretcher bearers and ambulance workers. Not the combat medics, they were attached to infantry and other platoons.
"Farb Fest '99, colourized"
It becomes a joke at 5:44 when the MP's and all and sundry arrive........................And who is that with the British Para beret?
@19:48~The 10th Mountain Division were not in Normandy (They were in the Aleutians and Italy ), and the double buckle boots were not used yet.
I was just going to say that. The stretcher bearer lol.
@@jasonrusso9808 Good eye bro
Why does one guy have freaking ACU trousers on?!
thats frogskin
Kameron Naujokas look at 3:57 and onwards
Duncan M. thats not ACU its u.s marine camo
@@kaiserrollschicken5895 Actually issued to U.S. Army prior to D-day. Not liked as resembled german camo.
@@duncanm.5707 That isn't ACU, just really badly faded HBT frog camo, which the armored infantry in Normandy did use.
i like how the german medic just starts working with the medics he probably didnt speak it during the war. so why have him be doing things ? since it is a re-enactment?
In war a medic was just that ,human life is still human life.
ok i guess
Edward Shea He is right, as a medic we are ablidged to help wounded enemies.. dont have too but it jas happened
under the geneva convention medics where technically a neutral soldier so it was their responsibility to care for both sides
19:35 lol that one Asian dude in german uniform
No matter what you think..............Not all German soldiers were Blond with blue eyes. Particularly as the war drew on.
@@SteveMrW i am well aware of that, just pointing out how much he stands out amongst in the crowd
@@hartmann3288 thats really offensive
@@temmyvids3880 no it's not 🤣
Also this is present day, any race can reenact any country they want,
In WWII the U.S. and Germans followed the second Geneva convention which stated that you could not shoot at an aidman/medic or a wounded soldier. These guys Cleary didn't know there history.
I am not saying your wrong but in most cases the Geneva convention doesn't stop soldiers in war from shooting medics.
@@willshea9924 That's why most medics carried side arms.
@@SteveMrW wrong...in the ETO very very few if any medics were documented to be carrying firearms. The Geneva convention was mutually respected for the most part between the Americans and germans. However, go across the pond to the PTO, the Japanese had no regard to the Geneva convention and most medics were documented as to carrying carbines and small arms for protection of themselves and patients being cared for, but they did not use them offensively.
My dad was a British Airborne medic captured on D Day, he said the Germans treated him very well.
yo hey why did the Americans shoot a medic, that's against the 2nd Geneva convention and they always followed that
no they didnt
Aida Stoltenberg The Americans and Germans followed the Geneva convention the closest. Thats why you see more marked medical personel on the western front then the eastern front as the Russians where not signers and medics where fair game over there. Shit probably slid through but if it was found out you killed a medical personel, who carries papers indicating his geneva convention number, you can be charged
Aida Stoltenberg it may have been an accident.

@9:25~That medic doing CPR in WW2? It wasn't invented yet
CPR did exist before ww2, but the more modern method that medic is using is indeed from the 60s
@@hartmann3288 It wasn't called CPR in 1944, and the technique that you think is CPR was totally different, so no it didn't exist before WW2.
There was no such thing as a medical platoon. There were around 2-4 medics in a platoon about 1 to a squad.
There actually were. Granted they weren't platoons. Medical detachments could be as large as a company. 3 aid men to a company, so 3 per 75-100 men plus officers. There wasn't nearly that much on the toon level.
Rocket Man There were many factors. On the "counter attack" for lack of a better term, they were mostly, not all SS troops. These were the guys, if any would, that would shoot at non combatants, as they had a bad rep for doing so. The Heer (army) usually abided by the Geneva convention, but there were always exceptions. Another factor is which front they were on, as on the Eastern front, Medica were seen as legit targets. What I don't like is, and I respect most of these people, when the narrator explained how Medica were forbidden to be armed, when that was just a US policy. The medics non combatants status is only stripped if a medic uses his arms offensively. The German medics usually got a P38 as standard issue, and was only used for the defense of one's self and the patient, which was perfectly legal.
Sorry for the long comment, actually doing research on a German Sani impression.

if you read the TO&E FOR 43-44...thats far from the truth. only 2-3 aidmen were assigned to an individual company. 1 aidman for about 25-50 guys depending on the companys strength.
nice...thanks to lawyers,doctors, bank officers,groser,butcher,etc of the town....what about the guy in front of the door?.. in my opinion most intresting man of the combat..…
