for our english speaking friends the translation of what is said in the video:

translated by google:

The rationing of the Bundeswehr in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony: a small office with big tasks.

Director of the Board Office, Uta Sinteck: "The Bundeswehr rationing here in Oldenburg, with its headquarters has a total of 87 employees and is responsible for the procurement, storage and management of food to the operational stock of the Bundeswehr. We have an additional three warehouse in Berlin, Görenfeld and Kempten. "

These four points in the last year, for example, supplying the troops with 7300 tons of food. With this, the EPA in the field the soldiers well known. In the small box there is everything you need for a day to survive. The rationing will be the coveted brown parcel wrapping line in a specially purchased together. To sort by a packing station staff with a sure hand, the little goodies in the boxes. One turn of the collection represents a new EPA for the troops.

The EPA does not go directly to the customer, they wander into the camp. In my own huge warehouses stores everything that has to do with food. From A American dressing to Z like Zucker (sugar). Warehousemen put together the orders of the sites. So it happens that the goods are waiting for the frigate Bayern and Hamburg on the loading. Were individually collected after the goods are packed and they were beginning their way to the recipients. Since the spring of 2008, the rationing office next to the EPA, a new product on the shelves.

Sachgebietsleiter Ohlenbusch Falk: "The Groupration consists of 37 different modules, they share the basic principle in four modules: one module into a drink, a breakfast a lunchtime and an evening module. And of the breakfast, lunch and dinner there each module twelve different types, so that twelve different days can be designed in use and therefore a certain amount of diversity exists for the soldiers. "

The Groupration has been designed as an extension of the EPA ration. An EPA is to ensure the Erstverpflegung (first food), after which the group dining comes to the fore. This is used, can hold up a troop kitchen to the service. But not only the high number of variations makes the group special meals. To provide light weight, little space as possible and quick to prepare, it was some food deprived water. Hard to believe that will happen to these pieces, powders and crumbs a full and tasty meal. The exact formulation of the beans once told us the cook.

Cook Walter Hachfeld: "" The beans absorb the water and still have to cook for about ten to twelve minutes and then for consumption. "

Half an hour later the meal is ready. It almost smells like the local cuisine and the hunger to be recognized. Done and nicely served, one would never suspect that all dried up on the rolls looked like. Then tried. Whether it has tasted the testers? In the end, certainly all the plates were empty.
