German field kitchen 2ndG.M. 1/35 ICM-35618

Description

During World War II, the Wehrmacht used various types of field kitchens to feed its troops under combat conditions.
There were large kitchens to serve 125-225 men and smaller kitchens for 60-125 soldiers.
They even used kitchens captured from other armies.
These kits were transported in trailers pulled by vehicles or horse-drawn carts.
The soldiers humorously nicknamed them “Gulaschkanone” (goulash cannon).
These stoves allowed a wide variety of dishes to be prepared thanks to a large cauldron with an insulating layer of glycerin, used for main meals, and later models included an additional cauldron for frying.
They could also brew up to 90 liters of coffee at a time.
Soldiers’ rations included assorted products such as sausages, cheese, milk and cocoa.
Skilled cooks were in charge of food preparation, assisted by helpers who performed tasks such as peeling vegetables, chopping wood or fetching water. Set contains 4 figurines, table, firewood, fuel cans and camp stove
