Abstract
This paper commemorates the staff members of the Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics who served during World War II. When the war broke out, many employees, including physicians, nurses, and orderlies, were mobilized. Doctors led trauma teams within specialized medical support units and served in military hospitals, selflessly contributing to the collective victory. Forty-seven staff members of the Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics are World War II veterans. Their wartime and professional accomplishments live on in the memory of their descendants and students.
