As as part of my goal to have a German line of products, I recently saw the book Rations of the German Wehrmacht in WWII at one of the WWII book vendors.  But, $70 for a book.  Ouch!    I got home and found out that Amazon has the book for $50.  Still pricey, but I decided to take a shot and order it.

Well, I have to say that the book was well worth the $50.   It’s really everything I could ever want to know about German food.  Although I wish they would have spent a little more time covering German drinks, the whole process of manufacturing and everything is really cool.  One of the most interesting things in the book is the discussion of Soy beans.  Today, of course, soy is a common ingredient.  Then, however, it was quite controversial.

Thanks to Mr. Poole for photographing tons of hard to find items.  It’s well worth the purchase.  However, if you’re interested in creating your own German foodstuffs, this book is essential.

(If you buy this book after clicking on one of my links, I will make a small amount of money.)
