Historical Context and Modeling Appeal

During World War II, the Wehrmacht ensured that soldiers received hearty meals reminiscent of home, regardless of their location. The field kitchen, known as "Grobe Feldkuche Hf.13," played a pivotal role in this effort. It featured a 200-liter pot for stew, a 90-liter coffee maker, and a range for cooking staples like potatoes and sausages. These mobile kitchens were essential for maintaining morale among troops by providing hot meals even in the most challenging environments.
