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.

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!

Packaging looks beautiful, but I wonder how authentic this is, as it looks so different to the other German ww2 rations on KZitem, 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.
