Packaging looks beautiful, but I wonder how authentic this is, as it looks so different to the other German ww2 rations on RU-vid, and here in the Ww2 museums in the Rhineland (E.g. packaging was much more compact and easy to carry). I’ve never seen dried egg or a wooden spoon before. There’s definately no way lease dried eggs (only available to Russia after 1942) were included in Wehrmacht German army rations. Bear in mind the Germans had mobile field kitchens in the field, so the rations issued to soldiers were basically bread and meat to eat if the rations didn’t get through. They didn’t have personal field cookers as standard issue.
@@kirkstinson7316 but the Wehrmacht didn’t issue MRE’s except for emergency use. Everyone ate warm food from a field kitchen. They called them GulaschKanone, because basically you got a bowl of stew with whatever the cooks had been issued with, plus lots of bread.
Given how strained the German supply system became, I question the logic of putting a candle in a ration. That space and weight could have been used for a worthwile amount of bullion or some hardtack. Anything edible would have been a better choice.
@@iac4357my thoughts... The candle might have been used to cook the food... Then again, it might be included similar to a Morale booster as previously commented.
I’m very interested in that clock. Is there anything special as to why a small table clock would have a cage on it? Is it an antique or reproduction or not any thing special, do you have a video on it etc
Interesting, thank you for commenting and watching. I actually did t know that, but will now be looking that up. It’s always awesome to learn by doing this channel from others. It is what makes this fun for me. Thank you. I will be tracking some of those cartoons down now! 👊
@@HistorySavior1941 His collection is "Up Front," which includes excellent commentary f his correspondent work inlItaly and France. It, alas, does not inckude his confrontation with Patton, who hated hot beat up Willie and Joe were.
Awesome I will check it out. You know I don’t know how many people realize that Patton was respected during the war, but was not very popular among the troops especially his officers who served under him because of how strict he was. That info actually comes a lot from a vet I am friends with as well. Patton was a colorful general indeed!
@@HistorySavior1941that is very true Patton was not liked by alot of the men in his command because of the way he was especially when he would come up with stupid rules like having to wear your tie at all times
We use reproduction rations for living history and reenacting purposes to get a more realistic experience of what the soldiers ate during WWII and to help educate others about the lives men and how they lived and survived during the war.
