Hello again,
I ve only been a Member a week now, This has been great. Very addicting. I had my only other post answered by Slodder, Thank you. My new question is Does any one have any ideas or links of what a German Hospital May have looked like during the World War Two Era? Ive got two Italeri WC-54 Ambulance kits, Wanting to put into a Diorama. Any help would be wonderful.

This may not be what you would have pictured for a German hospital, but here's one:
German Underground Hospital


One option could be to build what you see from this picture and have your vehicles unloading injured personnel, etc. at the front of the entrance.
You can do a Google Search for "German Military Underground Hospital" for more info. This particular one shown is in Jersey I believe and saw reference to at least one in Guernsey also.

I'm on a 'bunker kick' so this was the first thing that came to mind.

Otherwise, I would think that they would have used a basement in an abandoned building or any other field expedient shelter away from the front line.

Isn't the Italeri kit for a U.S. vehicle? This link may help you along building it anyway.

And welcome aboard!

i think most any building would be used well as a hospital, especially if you are doing a late WWII dio, where the germans used whatever they could whenever they could. a church would be ideal. if you have more of a field hospital in mind, im not too sure what that would have looked like. hope that helps. welcome to armorama!

Spruhound, Do you want ideas for a German hospital or an American hospital in Germany? The WC-54 ambulance is an American ambulance. Field hospitals and aid stations were all tents or buildings that were large enough for each purpose.

Hi,

Here at AA you have a dio by Keith Magee Triage at Aachen - 1945
that can give you some ideas.

Hay Spruhound,

German hospitals (army) where, to the end of the war in a big villa.

In the beginning, they were in a long rectangular building, only one floor. the area was divided into two rooms, one for operations (smaller) and one for the beds.
