The 15th Medical Battalion (Шаблон:Lang-de) was a non-combat battalion of the German Army Medical Service during the First World War, the interwar period and the Second World War. It was based in Frankfurt and Kassel and consisted of personnel from Hesse.

Organization

It consisted of the following squadrons:

  • Aschaffenburg Medical Squadron
  • Büdingen Medical Squadron
  • Frankfurt/Main Medical Squadron
  • Fulda Medical Squadron
  • Hanau Medical Squadron
  • Ohrdruf Medical Squadron

History

The battalion was established during the German Empire as a battalion of the Royal Prussian Army and saw active service during the First World War. In 1919, its headquarters was moved to Kassel and it was merged with the 11th Medical Battalion.[1] From the 1930s it was attached to the IX Army Corps and headquartered in Frankfurt. The battalion exclusively saw service in a medical capacity and thus held non-combatant status under the laws of war.

Personnel

Most of the personnel of the 15th Medical Battalion were conscripted officers and soldiers, and included military physicians and other medics.
