    Letters with medical codes

    A long while ago now, Ian posted a specialist consultation sheet with the following medical codes on it:

    L 49 , Z 15/1 gv.H.

    The numbers tally with the codes on the Wehrpass website and the contents of the report (49 = cardiac disease, 15 = nervousness and abnormal psychological disposition).

    But can anyone tell me what the letters "L" and "Z" stand for? And what about the "slash 1" and "gv.H."?

    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Hello Andy.
    I can only give you the explanation of "g.v.H." : garnisions verwendungsfaehig Heimat" or fit for homeland garrison duty.

      Thanks, Bernhard.

      In the meantime, I had a look on the Wehrpass website and found this explanation suggested:

      The number are prefixed A, B, L or R. Whereas L and R refer to left and right I am unaware of what the A or B stand for but it maybe for the severity of the defect.
      However, this can't be right. In the G-Buch that Ian posted, there are codes entered for L 15/1. 15 is the code for mental illness and you can't have a left-sided mental illness... The same goes for L 41 (thyroid problem).

      I don't have an answer, but I now have a theory:

      All the defects in Ian's G-Buch which were found at the entry exam (Annahmeuntersuchung) are prefixed "A". Could "A" then stand for Annahmeuntersuchung? Does anyone have any exceptions to this - entry exam defects not prefixed "A" or later defects that are?

      If this is so, then the letter code may indicate when/where the defect was noted. Many in-service defects are prefixed "L": = "Lazarett"??

      The final set of codes on Ian's G-Buch were at the last recorded (presumably discharge) exam, prefixed "B". Not sure what "B" stands for there, but maybe B = discharge exam?

      I would welcome feedback on this theory - both support and counter-examples.

      Andy
