CGGrognard -> Baking Bread in WW2 (4/24/2020 3:31:47 PM) Baking bread the other day, my wife asked how the German Army made bread as they invaded Russia in WW2? What little info I had on this only addressed the rations and how they diminished during the siege of Stalingrad. I'm also aware of the wheat fields in the Ukraine that provided the German Army with subsistence. I'm certain they had field kitchens, but I'm not aware of the logistics of it.

altipueri -> RE: Baking Bread in WW2 (4/24/2020 4:50:09 PM) These are some picture from The Imperial War Museum website: https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-food-that-fuelled-the-front And here's a model of a WW2 German field kitchen. http://www.stormthecastle.com/diorama/military-dioramas/german-field-kitchen-diorama.htm I think the British Army used the same oven it had been using since the Crimean War ! Ah - here's one from the Eastern Front - and a few other strange things: https://www.reddit.com/r/wwiipics/comments/ci1gsw/german_army_bakers_bake_bread_in_a_field_oven/

Orm -> RE: Baking Bread in WW2 (4/26/2020 11:36:10 AM) Picture of a "Russian oven" from 1719. There are around 400 of them scattered around Stockholm archipelago. Most of them made during the Russian Pillage. Although Russian soldiers have been in the archipelago during other wars as well, and some can have been from those wars. Or been reused in several wars. Legend has it that the Russians made traditional Russian dark bread in these ovens.
