    Medical personnel were entitled to wear any of their awarded decorations just as other members of the Wehrmacht. I believe that medics were not to be armed.

      German medics were authorized to wear sidearms for personal protection, as I understand it.

        Officers only, or enlisted as well?

          A frined whose father was an NCO Sanitaeter told me his father carried a small caliber pistol. He disappeared in early 1945 on the Eastern front. Don't know if it was regulation for him to have the sidearm however.

              a little off subject, Chaplains were not supposed to carry sidearms either but they did. You have to protect yourself no matter who you are.

                    I can agree with this. I approached our Chaplain once with this question. His reply is that it's optional. Most would not elect to do so though.

                    In our Army the field medics carry M-4 Carbines as well, just like rest of us troopers.
