In October 1944, an average of twenty-eight military trains transporting approximately 19,600 soldiers and officers passed through the Dresden-Neustadt railway station daily – transport capacity for almost half an infantry division per day. The engines of around half the trains were changed at the station and about half the trains received food and medical care. Wehrmacht care stations, organised by the National Socialist Volkswohlfahrt, were established at both of Dresden’s large railway stations. A Wehrmacht railway station commander provided for ”military order and military police duties in the area of operations”
