German Paratrooper vs. German Army Combat Ration Types I-III
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:41 pm
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE DIFFERENT GERMAN ARMY COMBAT RATIONS FOR GERMAN ARMY PARATROOPERS VERSUS REGULAR GERMAN ARMY UNITS (e.g., TYPES I, II OR III)?
I have a work colleague in Toronto that used to be an officer in the German Army as a paratrooper. I am traveling to Toronto in two weeks and will have lunch with him. I thought about buying two German Army Combat Rations (e.g. Type I, II, III) for a "surprise" meal together. However, it occurred to me there may be different German Combat Rations for paratroopers (e.g., similar to slimmed down Long-Range Patrol (LRP) MREs or dehydrated MCW rations) and the German Army Combat Ration Types I, II or III that I have seen on YouTube (e.g., Steve1989MREInfo, Kiwi Dude, gundog4314). Any feedback is much appreciated, especially where I might purchase these specialized MREs, if they exist.
