“ Equipment, including a Roentgen X-ray machine, used by German surgeons in an open-air surgery tent, during the First World War. With their ability to penetrate solid objects, Roentgen’s rays would go on to have a wide range of uses, notably in medicine, archaeology and astronomy”

I wonder if surgeons were exposed to radiation poisoning as well.
