What did army medics wear?

Did Germans have medics?
Simple answer: Yes. The German army in WWII regarded medics much the same as Americans did medics and navy corpsmen. Medics in the German army wore armlets with a red cross on a white background, were generally unarmed and were considered protected under the Geneva Conventions.
Do army medics shoot people?
Yes, we do. Army medics used to only carry a 9mm handgun to protect themselves and their patients. Since previous wars were fought against enemies who mostly followed the rules set by the Geneva Convention, that was all we needed. However, the enemies we fight now have no respect for these rules. Tacticle Combat Casualty Care requires that we suppress enemy fire first. These days, army medics (at least in my brigade) carry an M9 handgun and an M4 rifle. We carry both so that if the situation permits, we can leave the rifle with someone so that our hands are free to treat a casualty. Or, if the situation does not allow, we have our rifle to return effective fire. Hope this helps.

Did World War 2 medics carry a firearm?
No. To be eligible for protection under the Geneva Convention as noncombatants medics had to be unarmed. It took a brave man.

Japan did not sign the Geneva Convention and routinely shot medics, so in the Pacific some medics did arm themselves. <><><><> Under the Geneva Accords, and the Laws of Land Warfare, medics and chaplains may carry firearms for the purpose of defending wounded persons "from wild animals".
