'Krankenhaus' and 'Lazarett' both have to do with medical care. 'Krankenhaus' is the normal word for a medical facility for all patients. 'Lazarett' is much more specific: it means a hospital for soldiers, especially in war or during a military deployment. The words can be confused because injured people are treated in both places. In everyday life, with ordinary patients and ordinary cities, however, you almost always say 'Krankenhaus'.
Die verletzten Soldaten wurden in ein Lazarett nahe dem Einsatzgebiet gebracht.
The injured soldiers were taken to a military hospital near the deployment area.
