Hi German_Epa,
That you are not allowed to look at certain Ebay auction has to do with the language settings of your computer!
Ebay checks language settings and location (via IP number) of its users. Doing that, Ebay can block your entrance to the auctions.
So set your computer to English and the problem will probabbly be solved (this too worked fine with me in the past).
Good luck.

Don't know if this will be helpful, but here goes:

The East German National Volksarmee (NVA) developed a ration scale based on two sources - the old German Army and the occupying Soviet Army. Two "norms" determined the scale of issue to most troops. Like the Soviets, the issue was determined by assignment rather than actual need. Also like the Soviet Army, political reliability was the determining factor in assignment to a "norm."

Grundnorm 110 was the most common category, utilized by the majority of NVA troops. Grundnorm 130 was used by Border Guards, Security Troops, troops deployed forward "in defense of the border," and by sailors aboard ship.

The rations authorized were among the most generous of the former Warsaw Pact states.

Daily Service Ration: (N110/N130)
Meat, Sausage or meat products - 220 g/250 g
Potatoes, fresh - 800 g/800 g
OR Potatoes, preserved - 400 g/800 g
Butter - 50 g/50 g
Milk or Milk products - 300 g/350 g
Vegetables (fresh or preserved) - 300 g/350 g
Fats - 30 g/40 g
Fruits - 200 g/200 g
Eggs - 35 g/40 g
Rye Bread - 300 g/300 g
Fish - 45 g/45 g
White Bread or biscuit - 200 g/200 g
Cheese - 35 g/40 g
Marmalade - 30 g/30 g
Tea - 2 g/2 g
Sugar/Sweets - 30 g/40 g
Seasonings - 25 g/25 g
Nutritional extracts - 60 g/60 g

March Ration: This was a cold ration issued to units in transit, which could be eaten without further preparation. For Grundnorm 110, the following items were authorized. Meat (either preserved meat, sausage, or dried sausage) - 400 g; Bread - 500 g; Sweets - 100 g; Fruits (or fruit juices) - 70 pfennigs worth.

Combat Ration: The combat ration pack developed by the NVA reflected both Soviet and German army experience. It was fairly typical, containing mostly canned and preserved items. Alone among Warsaw Pact armies, this ration included a plastic spoon. The ration consisted of: Canned meat - 200 g; Hard biscuit - 200 g; Marmalade - 30 g; Tea - 2 g; Salt - 15 g; Vitamin C-fortified dextrose tablets - 50 g; fuel tablets; and spoon. Since the ration did not meet NVA nutritional norms, it was usually supplemented with 500 g fresh or canned bread.

Special E-boat Ration: This was developed for naval personnel who manned small coastal security ships. Packed in a small, water-resistant paperboard box, the ration was intended as a meal replacement for watercraft too small to rate a galley. The drab green or gray box contained: 90 g canned meat; 25 g vitamin-enriched chocolate; a 200-ml bottle of vitamin C fortified fruit juice; and a 50 g roll of vitamin C fortified dextrose tablets. This ration was generally supplemented with 250 g bread or hard biscuit.

Old German Army?! :shock:

Could you please replace all in either east Germany Army or NVA

There was no old German Army, just the Bundeswehr or the Nationale Volksarmee

Or did you mean the Wehrmacht.... :wink:

No disrepect intended. I wrote "old German Army" rather than "Wehrmacht" on purpose, as the new NVA used Imperial German Army, Reichswehr, & Wehrmacht traditions in everything from uniforms to field gear. It was easier to combine them all into the "old German Army," - which no longer existed.
