20 December 2014

- 11:5811:58, 31 May 2014 diff hist 0 Medicopter 117 – Jedes Leben zählt I've improved the very bad translation of this article from German, which included inverted verbs ('in the series were 2 helicopters used'), '5.' for 'fifth', decimal commas (points in English), 'flow' instead of 'flew'. There may be other errors.
