What wounds did frontline medics consider the worst?
Recently, the words of Marshal of the Soviet Union Konstantin Rokossovsky that we won the war with the wounded have not gone out of our minds. Konstantin Konstantinovich was referring to the fact that the frontline medics managed to return over 70% of the wounded Red Army soldiers to service. It was never accepted to talk about the difficulties of the frontline medics, but their labor, otherwise, than infernal cannot be called. With what only wounds they did not have to face, but there were among them those that were the most terrible. From the memoirs of the frontline nurse Irina Yavorskaya. “In the Battle of Kursk, we were on the northern phase, advancing in the area of Dmitra-Orlovsky. There were very many wounded, not to mention killed. But the most terrible thing was when we had to treat burned tankers. It was the scariest of all, because their overalls were stripped off together with their skin. It all burned together, stuck together. It was such horrible wounds, such pain, that I don't know how one can survive it. Give a like for the tankers and frontline medics.
