Hello, I am after info, pictures, and if anyone is selling them, the rations themselves from the following from the years 1977-1984:
-Soviet rations:
So I would like to know about the rations issued to Soviet soldiers in the late 70s-early 80s(1977-1984). I am not after what was issued in Afghanistan but more so what soldiers in Europe got. Pictures would be great and if you have one for sell that would be even better.
-East German rations:
I have seen them before, I would like more info though as I don't know about them. Pictures please. Also did every soldier get the emergency rations? If anyone has East German rations and East German emergency rations for sale please let me know.
-Poland:
I know nothing about them, pictures.

Re: Warsaw Pact Rations
First of all, welcome to forums and "Merry X-Mas".
I´m located in Germany and have East German rations.
About the East German "NVA K-Ration", please read my posting ->here<-
If do you have any further questions, don´t hesitate to contact me.
About what Soviet soldiers got "over here", see ->this page<-.
That guy is just one hour far and runs his own Military store and little Military museum

Re: Warsaw Pact Rations
Cool links housil! I've seen the USSR rations on other websites, and although many of them don't look real appetizing, I don't ever recall seeing any survey sheets included with them. Therefore I'm guessing that during the cold war, Soviet troops were not encouraged or expected to provide feedback on how to improve their rations in the same way that Canadian troops are these days.....

Re: Warsaw Pact Rations
Welcome to the forums...
Getting any soviet rations are nearly impossible and as Olli said " over 20year old cans???
Same with the DDR rations . Although you canfind some on ebay but it will cost you a lot of money.

Re: Warsaw Pact Rations
Ok thanks for the help. I don't think 20 year old cans are a problem as I know some have rations from ww1 and 2. I have a box of MCI from 1973 so old cans are not a big deal.
