What did World War II soldiers eat?

Question

Can someone point me to the primary source info on what soldiers were fed during World War II?

Answer 1

my grandpa was just a kid during ww2 but his father was in the war and they were alone at home, 4 brothers and their mother. he used to tell me stories which their mother had to lock the bread so at the end of the day they could all get an equal share of the bread. he was never mad at her. sometime you just have to do what you have to do to survive even tho it seems harsh in the moment. if you still have your mother dont forget to give her a hug while you still can. have a good night everyone

Answer 3

I never thought history could feel like a lullaby… but here I am, completely at peace. There’s something so comforting about the soft crackle of the fire and the gentle storytelling voice—it’s like being read to as a child, but with tales that carry real weight and wonder. The idea of drifting off to stories of ancient wars and forgotten figures under a starless black screen—it’s oddly magical. Thank you for creating a space where sleep doesn’t mean escaping the world, but reconnecting with it in the quietest way.
