They were given first aid, then transported to field hospitals, then either back to fighting, or sent home for further treatment and recovery, or sent home released from service, if injuries were bad enough.

Many died due to poor hygiene and insufficient medical resources.

Yes, many of the soldiers who fought in the war were able to come home at the end.

It is estimated that about 65 million men were soldiers that fought in World War I, of these about 9.7 million died; and another 25 million were wounded.


Today only 3 of those men are still alive; all very old men.

Claude Choule (British Navy)
John Babcock (Canadian Army)
Frank Buckles (US Army)

The surviving soldiers mostly went home to Germany. However, a significant number could not adjust to being back in civilian life. These veterans often joined up with paramilitary groups called "Freikorps", or "free corps".

The Freikorps would often act a lot like police (although they usually weren't actually police) or even gangsters. Since Freikorps were usually made up of people who believed strongly in right-wing politics, they would often fight street battles against left-wing politicals, like communists. As World War I was ending, communist groups tried to take over Germany- and Freikorps played a major role in defeating them.

Eventually the Freikorps were folded into right-wing political parties like the Nazi Party. Many important early leaders of the Nazi Party were ex-Freikorps troopers.

There was a lack of ability to handle infections, as there were no antibiotics available. Many died of complications of infection and disease.

With the dead bodies, mass burials took place, however sometimes the soldiers' dead bodies were just left to rot and die.
