The platoons, companies, and battalions of the Wehrmacht included combat doctors who provided direct medical assistance to the wounded.

Wehrmacht combat doctors were also responsible for evacuating the wounded to first aid points or collection points.

Armoured transporters could be used for evacuation, one of which was a special medical armoured personnel carrier designated as the Sd.Kfz.251/8 or ‘Krankenpanzerwagen.’

This armoured personnel carrier could carry various numbers of wounded, for which it had special stretchers and seats inside. Additionally, semicircular rails were installed on top of the hull for an awning to protect from the weather.

Armored medical transporters were part of the headquarters company (Stabskompanie). For visual differentiation from standard vehicles, these transporters had large signs with a red medical cross.
