Feldküche

Wwii german field kitchen with cooks

For cooking in combat conditions, the wehrmacht used various types of field kitchens: large ones for personnel ranging from 125 to 225 men, and smaller kitchens for 60-125 men. captured field kitchens were also used. these kitchens were transported either by trailer behind vehicles or by horse-drawn carriage. soldiers humorously called these kitchens the ‘gulaschkanone’, which allowed them to prepare a variety of dishes. a large kettle with an insulating layer (using glycerin) was used for cooking main dishes. later models of the kitchens included a separate kettle for frying. additionally, these kitchens could simultaneously prepare up to 90 liters of coffee. it should be noted that the food ration for wehrmacht soldiers included a wide variety of products – german soldiers received sausage, cheese, milk, and cocoa. qualified cooks handled food preparation, assisted by helpers who peeled and chopped vegetables, chopped firewood, fetched water, and performed other tasks.
