Need some labels

Post by 6gbjnord »

Hi there,
I am going to reenact WW2 SS soldier. I spend a few hour trying to find printable labels for canned food. A lot of old posts links are deleted so please help me with this matter.
I need labels for cans something like that with german eagles or SS runes.
Best Regards

Issued German cans rarely had labels. The info was stamped into the top of the can I think.
Captured stocks that were distributed would have the original labels.
It was very rare to find things with eagles, swastikas and runes on.

Very rarely were labels used on food issued. Some of the larger bulk tins were labelled but these were not the type the average soldier carried in the field.

These are some original tins (in the group photo the tin in the rear centre is a Bundeswehr issue for reference).

I'd suggest you get your hands on Volume 1 of Rations of the German Wehrmacht in World War II by Pool and Bock.
