      @@christianalexismendietaest8518 We have made WW1 and German rations in the past but the demand for the level of complexity and time just wasn't there. WWII US rations are complex enough and really needed a single effort devoted to getting maximum accuracy at lowest cost and reusability for reenactors. WW1 can easily be supplemented with baking hard bread at home, stored in a reusable tin container, painted cans/repro labels applied to modern day canned goods appropriately.

    Hey I was wondering. Rations that come with coffee, how did fighters heat the water in their mess cans up? Did they rely on field kitchens for hot water or did they heat water up in the field? I'm assuming field kitchens.

    • @Herorations
      @Herorations Месяц назад

      Whatever they could. Heat up water on a hot motor, over fire, heat tablet (hot box). Sometimes you just had to drink it cold.
