So you can figure you had no "Crippled maimed" American Soldiers in German Hospitals. 100 soldiers were treated in Germany after the Afghanistan campaign. army.mil I couldn't find an article on the Gulf War (Internet not yet present then) but I remember there were several articles on US soldiers treated in Germany, both in US and Bundeswehr military hospitals. We are a couple of hours closer to the battleground.

Here is the official casualties for the USA in the Gulf War: 148 killed in action, 458 wounded. Today I have seen the first German newspaper articles on how wounded US soldiers are flown to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. ramstein.af.mil de.news.yahoo.com The treatment is at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC). landstuhl.healthcare.hqusareur.army.mil LRMC is the biggest US military hospital outside the USA. A number from the Web site: During Operations Desert Shield and Storm in 1990/1991, more than 4,000 service members from that region were treated* at the facility* ... 10 times the number you quoted. If more than the about 500 beds available at LRMC are needed then local German hospitals will be approached.
