James A Pratt III Posted 6 March Share Posted 6 March I found this section on line on German Nurses of the Great War see germannursesofthegreatwar.wordpress.com by Johan R Ryhen which I think should interest some people. There is also a online thesis on this topic Sisters, Objects of Desire or Barbarians German Nurses in the First World War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March (edited) Link to the thesis: https://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/2439/ The other website is cited in my bibliography (pinned at the head of the Medical Services sub-forum) but the thesis is new to me, so thank you. sJ Edited 7 March by seaJane correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Hello, Interesting. It's a subject which interests me quite a bit. Although I was very disappointed in the lack of German sources in the thesis (and no, I don't consider some of the published accounts as real primary sources as they are usually edited quite a bit). I'll try to read the thesis though. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March For me the best book on the topic. A PhD thesis by someone working herself in the field of nursing: https://www.steiner-verlag.de/Kriegskrankenpflege-im-Ersten-Weltkrieg/9783515105927 Best, GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if there's ever an English translation, as I have restricted the bibliography to English-language contributions. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably won´t be. Had the chance to meet the author. She no longer works in the field of science but has returned to nursing (in an administrative position). Best, GreyC At @AOK4 you won´t regret it. It´s a mix of giving an overview about structure and organisation but also deals with the daily routines and difficulties of all involved as she had access to a large archive of a Mutterhaus within the Diakonie (a hub for nurses).
