German Atlantikwall troops that suffered from stomach complaints

[edit]

FYI ... a lot of former German Eastern front soldiers suffering from stomach complaints were transferred from hospitals into special units (informally) called "Magenkrankeneinheiten" [meaning "stomach complaint units"]. These units served in Normandy or in the Netherlands to man and defend the "Atlantikwall" bunkers. Their stomach complaints were the reason why many of these units were astonishingly well stocked with (special) food.
