Good books about Medics during WW 2 are not easy to find. I'm glad I did find this book a while back:

 

Combat Medic World War II, by John A. Kerner M.D.

 

By ibooks, inc.

24 West 25th Street

New York, NY 10010

 

ISBN 1-59687-316-7

 

"The dramatic account of saving lives shattered by the savagery of war"

 

"From Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge and beyond, Kerner vividly recounts the deadly chaos of medical care in combat-from triage in the middle of battle, to transport from the front lines, to surgery in field hospitals.

Medical units under his charge pushed through western Europe, improving on the treatment and transportation of the wounded during some of the most brutal fighting of the war. Kerner's achievement of saving lives, often

with improvised methods and supplies and with shot and shells flying overhead, is a gripping account of man's noble humanity in the middle of horrifying inhumanity."

 

The book was written with the help of his wartime journals and the letters between Dr Kerner and his future wife.

 

Recommended.
