The Heart of the Wehrmacht - German WW2 Field Kitchen (Hf.14): In-depth look at restoration project

[@NameName-dx8lb]

Fun fact: The Gulaschkanone was also used by civilians. For example my great great grandfather (a butcher) supplied workes, who were building a Dike, with Pea Soup.

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Yes, and there was also "civilian"models intended for the civilian marked as well. Thanks for sharing the story! Was this before, during or after the war? Thanks for watching, best regards from Norway 😊

[@NameName-dx8lb]

@ww2historyandreenacting as to my knowledge, it was between ww1 and ww2.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

I wonder if as the economy and logistical situation deteriorated, if the German government set up public feeding locations in urban areas, maybe with gulaschkanonen on street corners.

[@Femboy_housewife]

my great granduncle was a fieldcook before becoming a officer too^^ ( or he just swiched clothes with the cook, but on the picture i have from him, he is "operating" a field kitchen, in what looks to be a city and his comrades are all holding a beer in hand and smiling at the camera XD (that wouldve been somewhere in 1936, from his collar, he should already have been a Unteroffizier by then, and in early 1937, he became a officer of the 18th motorized infantry division, 54th regiment (he was a rider in the Reichswehr too acctually, and was so for just a bit longer after switching to the Wehrmacht, his military records are basicly non existing between 1937 and 1939 though and after that, only that he fought in Poland, france and Leningrad, where he also got his Infantry assault badge and his EK2 from :P) )

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Very interesting story - thanks for sharing! 😊 Did he survive the war?

[@Femboy_housewife]

@@ww2historyandreenacting yeah, he lived till the early 60s i think ^^ he joined the party in ´43 though, so he isn´t someone we tend to talk about to good in our family, but for me, he is another part of the family, just like the SS and other nazi ancestors i had, back then it was more normal to be like that, doesn´t justify any actions the regime and military did, but it´s the mindset i have for people from that time, back then it was normal and doesn´t instantly make them a bad person, the officer i talked about for example, was a great father from what ive heard, my great grandfather (his brother) was a Sturmmann of the Division Totenkopf and he also was a very nice guy apearently after the war, who knows what they did or what has been done to them, all that matters for me is, that they are part of my family and kind of part of history too in some way... they´ve been dead for decades already, talking bad about them won´t undo any crimes they might´ve commited, that doesn´t apply to let´s say Hitler, but for people so unimportant in the regime and for things that there aren´t any records for, i´d say more of my relatives than just me can "forgive" them... anyways, enough info dumping about my relatives for now XD love your videos btw, i stopped collecting for now because of personal reasons and only kept things i can´t sell, things from or associated with my relatives and some paper stuff i wanted to keep, incase i want to start reenacting at some point in the future :P

[@michaelcanty4940]

The 18th motorized Infantry Division had the divisional insignia of a V with a horizontal line. As a result, the Division became known as "Rations cancelled". Verpflegung is the term for Rations in German.

[@jastrapper190]

I have always been fascinated with the concept of the field kitchen and how Men were fed before the advent of single serving self heating rations like the US’s MRE or canned rations like the C Rations. Back when “mess tins” were commonly issued. This video is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your efforts and research and restoration work and taking the time to share it. There has never been a better name than the “Goulash Cannon”. Lol.

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Yes, whoever came up with that nickname deserves a second helping from the field kitchen! 😅 I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and that we share this interest in rations and military provisions. Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback, I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, best regards from Norway 😊

[@WillieBrownsWeiner]

Field kitchens are still used. MREs, by doctrine, are only supposed to be used for the first 72 hours of an operation until the field kitchens can get up and running. The "standard" even in combat operations is 2 hot meals a day from the field kitchens and 1 meal MRE.

[@Unfassbarer]

Danke!

[@natopeacekeeper97]

I've seen pictures of field kitchens but this is the first actual kitchen I've seen. You provided a really good description and history and as a former US Army soldier, it's always interesting to see the equipment used by other armies and their function. Very well done. I was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany at the largest NATO command there and worked with German Feldjagers in a joint unit. They were really good to me and took me to several museums where I saw actual German tanks, artillery pieces and aircraft. Thank you very much!!!

My now retired long time co-worker, whose name is Meglitsch was originally from Austria. His father was a cook in the German Army in World War Two, serving mostly on the Eastern Front. Nice to see the tools of his trade largely intact. Hope the restoration goes well. He told me his father bricked up an MG 42 in the wall of their barn, along with ammunition, in case the Soviet occupation forces didn’t leave. The Meglitsches emigrated to the U.S.A. In the early 1950s, I think. They settled in Toledo, Ohio.

A very interesting part of military history. Many times documentaries focus on battles, generals or weapons but one thing all soldiers have in common is they all have to eat and warm food is always preferred.

[@DeputatKaktus]

I live just a 20 minute drive from Gelsenkirchen. Küppersbusch is still a well known brand here, at least for my generation (I was born in 1981). As a youngster I had a coal fired oven in my room, which was also a Küppersbusch. Our neighbors (who had lived through the war) still had their Küppersbusch stove in their kitchen well into the 90s.

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

That's awesome! 😊 It will be cool to visit the old factory one day, and perhaps track down any manufacturing records concerning field kitchen- or parts manufacturing 😊

Towards the end of the war there was certainly more "ersatz kaffe" (like acorns etc.) than real coffee - all depending on supply and most importantly where the unit was stationed of course! 😊

I made a lot of scale models as a boy, for some strange reason I enjoyed making and painting a 1:35 scale field kitchen unit more than anything, probably because I had zero information about what I was building, so as I was assembling it, I slowly intuited what everything did. In my 15yo mind I thought: "Germany can't have coffee, coffee comes from south america, so the thing which looks like a coffee grinder must be a machine to grind compressed pellets of wood for the cooks to start their oven-fire" 🙈 If I was 15 in 2025, I would find wonderful youtube videos like this, I would be in heaven.

What are your top ten meals that you plan to prepare, once you and your team restore your awesome Wehrmacht Field Kitchen? Each meal can be spilt into two videos, a preparation and start cooking video, and a cooking end and eating video. About thirty minutes each. One video per week, and you have about six months content. Don't forget to show how to clean, before and after. Show all the steps. Show the recipes too. Achieve a video manual, how to. Make it as authentic as possible. With each video, you can open discussions to your channel subscribers, what they think and would like to see. Incorporate the best ideas. Who knows, this may well be the first of a cooking series, Wehrmacht Field Kitchen, wholly unique. So many opportunities. It is really exciting to follow the progress. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

Any idea how many men could be fed at one time , also how many field kitchens would be issued to a unit ? Thank you Very interesting

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you, I'm glad you found it interesting! 😊 For example, an infantry battalion would usually have a small field kitchen (Hf.12/14) in the battalion staff, one large field kitchen (Hf.11/13) allocated to each of the 3 rifle companies, as well as another large field kitchen (Hf.11/13) in the MG-company. The small Field Kitchen (Kleine Feldküche) Hf.14 could feed up too 125 men, and was usually assigned to smaller units between 60 and 125 men. Thanks for watching, best regards from Norway! 😊

I assume that if the same sort of damage is prevelant in similar places on ex Norwegiann kitchens. It may be down to a particular type of vehicle towing it. With something on the vehicle often hitting the same place on the kitchen, during a turn for example. As the towing hitch has been modified as well. It could be as simple as it was chained up for towing, without a compatible towing attatchment. So could slam into the towing vehicles at times.

It might not be totally nonsensical that a leather goods manufacturer also would be associated with a pressure relief valve for a field kitchen. If the “seal” for the valve was made of leather. As is often the case for hand pumped pitcher pumps in kitchens. The part that actually seals and primes the pitcher pump is a leather washer. It would be a trivial and easy task to also include all the small brass parts for a “pressure relief valve” as leather goods often have associated hardware like buckles and attachment points made of a metal like brass. Just a guess.

[@ryanjames170]

I was just going to suggest this perhaps they finished assembling the part with its leather components and thus got it’s inspection stamp there. Would also depend on if that company made its own metal components for its leather goods as they may of had that machinery ti make said part..

I believe I have 8 all together now, including some extra spare parts 😇 Still haven't finished restoring one yet though 😅 In the beginning I did not have the tools or the knowledge required, as well as the lack of workspace and most importantly - time. My first filed kitchen is half way complete (the 1941 dated Hf.13). I spent a few years searching for an original axel and some original wagon wheels, and I recently finally found a place here in Norway that can enamel the kettles - something that nobody does anymore, at least not in this country. If I can get a nice workshop (workspace) set up and a few more tools, restoration will hopefully go pretty smoothly moving forward 😊Best regards from Norway 😊
