Government bodies across the country are assessing health systems and infrastructure to determine how—or if—they would function in the event of a military conflict.
Defense Minister Pistorius has warned that Russia could be ready to attack NATO territory by 2029.
As the publication notes, given its Central European location, Germany would likely become a key transit point for troops, as well as a place where they could receive medical care.
A Bundeswehr scenario model indicates that, in the event of a conflict, up to 1,000 wounded soldiers could arrive in Germany daily.
Five military hospitals would quickly reach capacity, requiring civilian hospitals to step in; the system would face unprecedented pressure and be forced to distribute patients between military and civilian facilities.
Another challenge is training: it is estimated that only a few hundred doctors in Germany have experience treating combat-related injuries.
