Throughout the history of warfare, one of the main problems has been dealing with soldiers wounded during combat. Combat medics are in many ways the most heroic soldiers: ready to face enemy fire and retrieve their wounded comrades so they can receive medical attention. Most medics are only lightly armed for self-defense, relying mainly on the 1864 Geneva Convention's ban on attacking medical personnel. German Krankentr'ger were trained in advanced first aid. These teams were permanently attached to German infantry companies and were equipped with a red cross armband and a pistol for defense, as well as a first aid kit and medical supplies. Each company was also assigned a Sanit'tsoffiziere, who were trained doctors who provided immediate medical care.
