Gulaschkanone: The German Field Kitchen in World War II and Modern Reenactment

by Scott L. Thompson

Overview

The German army of World War II fed their men from field kitch­ens like these. The cooks risked danger and adversity to deliver hot meals to the soldiers at the front. Now World War II reenactors have put the field kitchen back to work. This book looks at the role the field kitchen played in World War II, as well as how a lovingly-restored vintage field kitchen is once again cooking authentic, hot food for hungry German soldiers.
