As far as I am aware the only "group ration" used by the Wehrmacht was the "Gebirgssonderkost" (Special Mountain Ration), designed to feed four men for one day or one man for four days.

There was also a "Special Allowance for Tank Troops" that was shared by two men, but it wasn't a complete ration; it was more like a meal supplement.

Yeah - thinking about it - it DID sound rather like the American 10-in-1 or British 14-in-1 compo...

From the axishistory site, it would appear that a fairly accurate translation of "Eintopf" would be "All-in".

Thanks for all of the replies and links everyone, I'm always happy to get conversation and "comparing notes" going here in the forums, as well as learning stuff myself.
