What Did WW2 Soldiers Eat 1943

This was an outstanding film for those interested in the subject of military rations. They covered in garrison meals prepared by cooks
and combat field rations. I did not know the U.S. did the type of testing for vitamin intake in this time period. The K ration portion of the film was of great interest to me. I have never seen the assembly line or the testing of the cartons. Also noted the Quartermaster officer seemed like a character right out of 1940's Hollywood. The haircut and mean looking face, I would hate to work under him.
Last I found the comments about post war prepackaged meals for civilians to be correct. Except it would not be a K or C ration meal.
Rather the frozen on tin tray 1940's U.S. Hospital Meal became the 1950's/60's/70 foil covered heat and serve TV dinner. There is a film floating around that shows how and why the frozen tray meal was developed by the Quartermaster Corps

Thanks for the post! I always loved watching these types of from WWII and the cold war. I wonder if the Eastern Bloc or axis powers made their own? Anyway, here's one of my favorite films made:
