Remarks: 00:56 This is referring to the rationing system in place in WWI, where you couldn’t just buy things like food or clothing, but had to buy it with rationing cards, meaning you could only get new clothes or shoes once every few months. 01:30 During WWI was the first time where women went into the workforce, to replace the men who went to the army. Usually women back then just wore dresses or skirts, but when they started working, switched to pants. 01:58 As mentioned above, food and other items where rationed. But by 1916/17, there was an acute shortage of food, especially meat, and many people went for months with eating only bread and turnips. 02:08 This is referring to various “substitute” products. As many things couldn’t be imported to Germany in WWI due to the Allied sea blockade, most notably coffee beans, many products where replaced with imitations. Coffee substitutes, for example, were made out of various things, such as Malt, Barley or Rye, which obviously tasted way worse than the original. 02:34 Souper, taken from French, means something like a luxurious dinner in German.
