WW2 Nazi Army Ration (Repro)

Take a look at my review of a nice, quality reproduction German WW2 Ration. It's a pretty interesting ration and it was worth the money because the contents were top notch. At the end of the video I included some education slides that I found while doing research for the video, that I thought some people might find interesting so make sure you watch all the way to the end.

That's a 24 hours combat ration, Halbieserne or “Iron Ration” that contained one 300-gram tin of meat and one 125- or 150-gram unit of hard bread. The canned meat could be Schmalzfleisch (a pork product),  Rinderbraten (roast beef),  Truthahnbraten (turkey), or Hahnchenfleisch (chicken). In addition, there was canned Fleischkonserve,  its contents generically, and thus ambiguously, labeled “canned meat, ” which allowed for a number of interpretations. Very good review 👌

I must say that I love how you untie the string rather than cut it with a knife. A long piece of string may be very useful in the field, so preserving its length this way is a very clever move.

If you put the stewed beef and the soup together and crumbled up the crisp bread in it, it would probably be pretty good. Thanks for sharing 👊

You could put the meat in the 'soup' liquid...
I mentioned in a reply here somewhere that the German Army had a lot of field kitchens on a trailer. They also had a bread ration for each trooper. They had a bread pouch on the back of their combat belt. But they also put other things in them though. Probably food related items. The spoon and fork folding utensil. Their mess tins and such. Plus the bread ration.

This was really interesting to see. Some of these old rations are so tiny it makes you wonder how they actually fought so hungry.

There's a big difference between the Nazi Army (SS) and the Wehrmacht (Regular Army).

And of course always find someone who actually speaks German and understands the instructions. For crying out loud, German is about the 10th most spoken language on the planet. German speakers are not a scarce resource, There's plenty of us! The pea soup comes with some very specific instructions on how to prepare it, in one of the world's major languages. Just follow it. If you don't understand it, find someone who does. Same goes for everything else.

Hey dude! Your wife loves the rye and tasonka Take take a hint! Dude!

[KirkSwanum]

You are supposed to put everything together to make a stew

[franccastle]

Did the Nazis have to provide their own homoeroticism or was that in the rations?

[johnadney]

As a German speaker I will translate 3 packets of fake coffee rye crackers pea soup and one can of pork mystery meat. Enjoy

To me, watching you chase a, "Floatie thing", confirmed to me that youve never been a soldier in the field. You become good buddies with hunger, your taste buds go numb, and if its edible, you eat it! With a small portion of food in your belly, you are able to rest, and carry on with the mission! You are not eating at a 5 star restaraunt, or even a local greasy spoon where the burgers are decent! You are in combat. You often dont know when or even IF, you will eat again. You shovel whatever you get, down your gullet as fast as you can, because your body needs fuel! Without fuel, your body will start to fail you. If that happens, YOU, WILL START TO FAIL! AND IF YOU FAIL, YOU ARE NOT JUST FAILING YOURSELF!! You are failing those men standing to your left or right! A cold meal, a warm meal, or maybe even a Hot meal, , , , well, , , it just gets you through! Get with me and Ill tell you about some of the meals that I, "Enjoyed", in the 2 combat zones I served in.
