German WWII Field Kitchen (Gulaschkanone) - Unboxing!
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Today I have quite the unboxing for you guys! A 400-kilogram package just arrived at my door containing a German military field kitchen (Gulaschkanone) from WWII! This original German field kitchen from WWII is a Kleine Feldküche (Hf.14), or small field kitchen. I bought this field kitchen, technically unseen a few months ago, and it finally arrived today - I have not really seen it yet, so let's go through it together. I have always been interested in the German field kitchens and the highly important role they played in both the first and the second world wars. For some reason I always wanted one, for as long as I can remember - the look of them really appealed to me - so now I collect and restore them, bringing them back to their former glory. Although it is not technically in a box, I have to quickly unbox, or perhaps I should say - unwrap and unstrap this thing, disassemble it and get it ready for sandblasting.

In the US we have practice called "tail gateing" where people have a party and cook food in the parking lots before sports games. You'd be popular at those.
Something like that would be awesome! :) :)
Drink a lot of beer too it's fun we went to a Redskins nfl game with my dads co workers and a german new co worker and rode down 395 in the bed of the truck the german guy never had root beer and drank 2 12 packs of a&w before we got to the parking lot lol good times
Austin 92caps Most Germans hate root beer. The aroma reminds them of urinal cakes/toilet cleanser.
@@voightkampff Missing out big time, a true American classic would be Sarsaparilla if you're man enough to try it ;)
@@voightkampff Also what Aroma exactly? I do more sipping rather than smelling I suppose
Thank you Sir! I can’t tell you how much a warm meal means when you’re in the field for weeks. Some of the best meals I have had in the Army were from our Regimental Cooks from our “flying kitchens”. I can just imagine what that old kitchen would have meant to the soldiers who it was attached too. Thank you.
Thank you, Captain! I'm happy that you found the video to your liking, and thank you for sharing your personal experience and appreciation for the field kitchens in military service - thank you, Sir.
Best regards from Norway :) :)
They were the center of the company life.
Suddenly someone can show us more important things to be restored from the battlefield, besides of tanks planes and other vehicles. Big hurray for this project, i,d love to see it happening here on the tube!
Thank you so much!! I will make sure to post some restoration videos on both my field kitchens, as well as videos on cooking and operating the field kitchen. Best regards from Norway! :)
Nice 😀 Yeah my wife goes mad at me for collecting waterbottles, I don't want to imagine what she'd say if I bought one of these hahaha
Andrew you scottish? Just wondering from the profile pic
@@rlmckay aye the kelpies are just along from where I live 😁
Hehehe! I can certainly relate to that! But if you have a lot of stuff from before it kind of blends in and they don't notice it XD
@@ww2historyandreenacting oh she'll notice, trust me 😂
@@andrewjohnston4127 Haha XD
There was, a few years ago, a Gulaschkanone, or field kitchen, that sat outside a restaurant in Lampertheim, near Mannheim, Germany. This memory gives me a vision of what you will have, eventually, after much hard work. I am excited for you. Good luck! Best regards, Kurt
Thank you so much for sharing the story Kurt, it's really cool to hear that there are still a few of these field kitchens still around. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words. Best regards from Norway :)
@@ww2historyandreenacting
Thank you. Good Luck to you with your projects. Mine are less ambitious: weapons , uniforms, Abzeichen , etc collections. My last stay in Germany I bought a Russian M-72 Sidecar rig dressed as a R-61 BMW in war time paint. I am going back to Aachen for a few weeks in December and January. Watch the internet for the Veterama in the spring and fall, alternating between Ludwigshafen and Mannheim. There are many things to look at and buy. It is like a big Floh Markt )fe
la martket). I have seen much military stuff, much junk. Veterama.de on the internet.
Viel Spass, bis zum naechsten Mal. Kurt
I wish including horses in reenactment would be easier. Would make it much more convincing as most of the wehrmacht were still drawn by horse.
I totally agree with you! :)
Just date a horse girl. We have plenty of them here
the design is from 1818 so of course you could use it behind your horsewaggon as well, but this is a "Gulaschkanone" so a Gulash canon because you carry it behind you waggon like a canon.
This thing is awesome! Cant wait to see it restored!
Thank you!! :)
My interest in Field Kitchens lead me to buying my own US MKT (Mobile Kitchen Trailer). Mine was made in 1998 but its a cooking machine and can server 300 people in an hour. 6 Diesel electric burners throwing out 30,000 BTU each. They fit into 2 ovens and 4 cooking slots that can be used as individual burners or cast iron griddles of which I have two. Problem is I need a 2.5 ton truck to pull it with and that's going to take me awhile to get.
It's wonderful to see how these have captured your imagination.
I hope to view many more field kitchen videos from you.
Thank you Andrew. I'm planning on making quite a few field kitchen videos in the future - so stay tuned :) :)
Hi! Please excuse my bad English. I just happened to see your video about the field kitchen. I really think it's great what you do. I am a collector myself and would like to support you if you have questions or if you need something. How to say Auf Wiedersehen is so nice that I had to smile. Best regards from Germany Björn Liedtke
Hello! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Is there any way that I could contact you? Best regards from Norway :) :)
Love that you keeping history alive. Would love to see the restoration process,
Thank you! There will be videos of the restoration process :)
Thank you!
Love this video. Thanks for posting
amazing find can’t wait to see more!
Thank you Foxman, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Hmm opening a restaurant would be real good idea. Staff is serving soldier meals in time accurate uniforms and everything is cooked on this bad boi. And the name... Simply "Kantina" xD
It sounds like an interesting business idea! I have actually thought about doing something like this it would be really cool! Best regards from Norway :)
Take it to a big reenactment and serve up genuine German field rations, it'll go down a treat with everybody lining up with their mess tins and mugs in hand :)
amazing purchase.
Great to see WW2 history being restored there is more to WW2 history then just Tanks and fighter planes.
Napoleon said - An army marches on its stomach. Germany must had very bad cooks in WW2
Thank you Stephen! I totally agree with you, it's a very fascinating, important and often overlooked part of history. I know some of the cooks were really good, and their efforts even when the logistics were down was simply admirable. Best regards from Norway :)
@@ww2historyandreenacting Yeah I have always see German Field Kitchens used in war documentaries in the back ground but never near any info about them. I like to hear more about them because a lot engineering and design went into Field Kitchen wagons. They should not be left to the scrap yards they do need to be save for history sake
Keep up your great work
@@stephenwarhurst6615 Thank you again! I'm so happy that others also find this part interesting! I'm currently writing a book on the subject - currently looking at about 800 pages. Best regards from Norway :)
CZcams seems to have unsubscribed me from you . Anyway, love the field kitchen and Im looking forward to its restoration!
Oh, that's strange, so happy you found me again! Thank you James! :) :)
great for a camping holiday in Poland.
Awesome video! Very interesting and educational.
Thank you so much! :) :)
Really interesting because as napoleon said, 'an army marches on its stomach' and soldiers need to be fed. The battle equipment is interesting but its also interesting to see how the other parts of the army worked.
I totally agree with you Rex, it's a very fascinating, important and often overlooked part of history. And as you quoted - don't think one could have put it better. Thank you Rex, best regards from Norway! :)
Very cool , thanks for sharing, looking forward to the restoration. Spare parts are always a plus 👍
Thank you Michael! :)
Can Never have enough spare parts ;)
That was great to watch. Thank you dear sir! Subbed
this will be so coll when finished! just think about the barbecue and field kitchen beefjerky you can do with this thing
Thank you Fritz!
Yes - I'm looking forward to getting them restored at put back to use :) :)
I just needed a refrence for a lego film I'm planning but damn, now I know how I can use it accurately. Plus its just nice to know how what you're building is designed (Plus its from you so its high quality), thank you so much.
Stunning
Thank you Roberto! :)
Never knew that these things existed! Thank you.
Glad you found this video educational - thank you :)
Genuine with traces of time is interesting. . The best way to restore is to preserve as much as possible the original painting...Let us conserve the aspect of authenticity and historical please. Thank you.
Interesting stuff
Looking forward to your next goulash cannon video. I spent 20 years as a field cook in the US Navy Seabees.
Very cool!! 👌😍
Thank you my friend! :)
Good Approach
🇩🇪 Good thing, the project.
These ,,goulash cannons" are certainly very rare. Iam a motorcycle mechanic. For the restoration it is worthwhile to make a big electrolysis bath. Not difficult. And enough videos about that on yt. Sodium carbonate is also very cheap in 10kg buckets. 🙂👍
Hello Marlon. Thank you, I'm glad you think so. Very interesting idea - thanks for the tip, I might have to try that. Best regards from Norway :) :)
@@ww2historyandreenacting You are welcome.

Nice informative video . We have one of the largest ww2 reenactments in the U.S. close by . They had one of these working. I too was fascinated. How many of these do you have . ? Nice video ! Perfect for backyard party with friends. 😃 ingenuous design.
Thank you Doug, I really appreciate that! :)
What reenactment event is this? I know there are a few of these beauties in working condition over there :)
I have 2 now! Best regards from Norway! :)

@@ww2historyandreenacting Funny I get up Saturday morning. See your video These little magic hand held device dangerous aren't they .
Great work, I love your channel.
You always do very good research before doing something and if I would live in Norway I would surely join your reenacting group :)
Thank you
what kind of tea did they use? just darjeeling or some herbal tea
they used several types of tea , although they where only rationed 10 grams of tea to each person each month , they used teas like Schwarztee (black tea), Fruchttee (fruit tea), Kamillentee (Camomile), Fencheltee (Fennel), Hagebuttentee (Rosehip) and Pfefferminztee (Peppermint), although like mentioned earlier they where rationed in very VERY tiny amounts .
Can't wait to see it restored. You're doing God‘s work 👌
thank you, I really appreciate that! :)
By such video I reach in the past, here in Pakistan it is saying that first soldiers to arrive on battlefield are cooks.
Good video.
Thank you! :)
What a find hay rebuild able
Thank you 😊
Lovely to see something important to the ordinary soldier being saved! but we need more restoration vids of this and the large one you have. something to get our teeth into!!! so to speak keep up the good work
That is pretty cool. Where do you find something like that for sale? Im interested in restoring history too.
Thank you! Unfortunately, they are not easy to come by. I looked for over 10 years for my first one and about 2-3 more for my second one... Best regards from Norway :)
Have you ever tried using those military stoves at it's full function. That would be a Great CZcams video. Manny Perez. saukville Wisconsin
Hello Manuel, yes I did get the privilege to help cook on one many many years ago when I was just a boy. The plan is to get it restored and make videos cooking on it for sure! :)
Best regards from Norway :)
I wonder, how many horses ended up in "their own" kitchen...
Although the German soldiers were very fond of their horses, I guess that in some extreme situations this could happen. And there was probably at some point horses pulling field kitchen with their buddies cooking inside - a very interesting point. :)
Please post an update as you go. Very cool subject.
Thank you Adam! :)
I totally agree with you, it's a very interesting subject that is often overlooked or forgotten about. I will definitely post some videos on the restoration process. Best regards from Norway :)
Well get it working!!!
Cook something!!!
Working on it! :) :)
Very interesting, thank you! Where you buy it i can't hear it well, sorry?
I'm glad you found the video interesting Mike. I got it from an old collector that had it sitting in storage :)
@@ww2historyandreenacting wish i have one like this :) once in a life find! congratulations!
Do you have any resources on the larger field kitchen? I'm interested in how it was different from this.
Молодец! СУПЕР Я ТАКУЮ В БОЛОТЕ В БРЯНСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ ВИДЕЛ. Эхо войны....
Ah yes a place where you can finally cook some sausages

Where did you find that Geyern Lied version that you used in the intro? I can't find this version anywhere...
Hello Martin, I made it myself :)

@@martinkoch5843 Thank you Martin! :) :)
Cool unit!! Now...what was a typical German meal for the troops?
Please more videos of the Feldküche
More videos are coming :)
Please make a Restauration video 😍
That is the plan :)
Wow...even their cookers were over-engineered.
100 Years of envolment, the Gulschkanone is from 1818.
That's a nice grouping on the lid. I cant help but assume 9 mm.
Did you get your goulash cannon restored?
I would love to cook in/on one of these...
:)
@@ww2historyandreenacting I bought a russian made Dnepr K750 (a late 1960's replica of the BMW R71 Wehrmachtsgespann motorcycle (including the Beiwagen)
I am currently fixing the bike up to use as a recreational driver motorcycle but I like to be able to change out the Beiwagen "boot" to end up with a motorcycle version of a Gulash Kanonne. One can say a Gulash Machinengewehr. To maybe cook/do catering for a smaller group of guys: 15-25 or so.
You have any ideas on what to incorporate and do you have a operators manuals for the German Hf. fieldkitchens ?
So mache ich einen 15 lb englisch-walisischen Rarbit-Kuchen: Zuerst brauchst du eine Metallmülltonne von 30 Gallonen oder mehr. Füllen Sie die Dose zu 1/3 mit kaltem Wasser. 31 und 1/2 Tassen ungebleichtes Allzweckmehl. 15 1/2 Teelöffel Backpulver. 16 Teelöffel gemahlener Zimt. 12 Teelöffel gemahlener Ingwer. 10 1/4 Teelöffel gemahlene Muskatnuss. 11 Teelöffel koscheres Diamantkristall-Salz. 14 Sticks ungesalzene Butter, erweicht. Mischen Sie alle Zutaten mit einem großen Holzpaddel, bis ein glatter Teig entsteht. Halten Sie Kinder vom Teig fern, da sie dazu neigen, darin einzutauchen. Das ist eine Sache, die Sie nicht wollen, dass es sabbert und Keime in der Mischung. Der nächste Schritt ist sicherzustellen, dass Sie ein gleichmäßiges Feuer unter der Dose haben. Ich benutze einen Gas-Dopple-Ring von Germandeli. Der Ring kostet ungefähr 89 Mark, aber es lohnt sich. Kochen Sie diesen Kuchen langsam für ca. 8 Stunden. Normalerweise habe ich meinen halbwitzigen Sohn, der es sich ansieht, damit es nicht brennt. Nachdem der Kuchen fertig ist, werden Sie es wissen, wenn er von den Seiten der Dose schrumpft. Sie können den Kuchen auch testen, indem Sie einen Besenstiel in die Mitte des Kuchens drücken. Wenn der Besen gerade steht, ist der Kuchen fertig. Dieser Kuchen wird ungefähr 80 Leuten dienen, was ungefähr jedem in meinem Dorf entspricht. Wenn Ihnen mein Rezept gefällt, lassen Sie es mich bitte wissen!
Where can I learn more about the WWI version and buy one?
How different is this to the ww1 variant?
It's very similar both in appearance and function :)
I love 😍
Thank you! :)
This is great, can I have a Bratwurst now? 😉
Thank you! Sure, but I would wait until it's done ;)
That stamp is interesting! 250/1936 we're these not specially made for troops un ww2 then? I thought it looked like more it was number 250 out of 1936? Abit of a coincidence the date just with it nearly 3 years before ww2 is interesting in when and exactly what it was used for before!? Maybe it was 250 of 350 the bottom number then quite alot of them built if that's correct and there was normally 2 part I love these myself for some weird reason haha!
The Gulaschkanone was invented in 1818 and was used since then. Prity similar models are still used today in many european Armies with German/ Austian &Hungerian history (so the countries that where in the dimentiion of the both Kaiserreich's before 1914) they are well thougt and designed and where one component of the vitory over France 1870/71 in the allready kind of Blitzkrieg from Preusia.
Love this! Im a Cook my self and a ww2 nerd! Wish I had the time and space to restore one of these!

@@ww2historyandreenacting i am working on a 57 model that I am converting to a 38 model the small kitchen
Truly amazing find, but uh. if I may ask, where might I able to find a Norwegian M1914 Uniform, or a Norwegian Legion Uniform? I’ve been looking for a M1914, and was wondering if looking at Finn.NO or any other website was the best option for finding one, or for anything else. I’ve been watching you videos for a while, and I’d just to like to say thank you for what you’ve done as well.
Thank you! :) I think there might be coming some reproduction M1914 uniforms on the market in the future :)
The Marking doesnt stand for Stahl Werk Henningsdorf, I believe it is for Senking Werk Hildesheim, de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senking. Greetz from Germany.
Hello! :)
I really appreciate the help - I will look into it! I also initially thought Senking Werk Hildesheim, but they usually the stamp ("S" inside a triangle) shown on the second coffee kettle shown towards the end of the video. Best regards from Norway! :)
That is discussed at other places also www.forum-der-wehrmacht.de/index.php?thread/9048-signatur-feldk%C3%BCche/ . They go for the Henningsdorf solution.
Hot food equals high morale,
Very true indeed! :)
ates de voire la suite de la restoration
Thank you :) There will be a restoration video :)
Where do you find these ? Man i also want one
They are getting very hard to find, at least in good shape - I found both of mine in Norway. Most of them were either scrapped for metal, converted to stoves, converted and modernized with gas burners, used and scraped by post-war armies, or simply just rusted away. But once in a while, you can get lucky! :)
@@ww2historyandreenacting i wonder would you say the ones converted into stoves are extremely hard to get back or were they chopped up and then installed ?
@@sleepypipit9631 I don't know, as this convertion was not commercially done, it was done by individuals, but I think its highly unlikely to find one of those as they were most likely scrapped a long time ago. And they were probably as you say, chopped up for installation.
@@ww2historyandreenacting okay thanks i will keep an eye out thanks and keep up with those restorations 👍
@@sleepypipit9631 Thank you! :)
When people talk about the German Army during WWII they think the Germans were so much more advanced than the Allies. But looking at the difference between German and US field kitchens paints a different picture.
hmm you meand the German Kitchen was 100times better because you just need to stop the truck or horsewagon(it ws invented 1818) and can start to make a dish and coffe sametime very close at the front line? (while the US use are use stationary kitchen that can only do one thing)
Btw they are still use similar models in many Armies in Europe and is used at many Festivals (nothing is better than a peasoup from a Gulaschkanone with some sausages)
always wondered if the germans had a field kitchen like the US did in the war but now i do and that Field kitchen is wood fueled
Not sure if it’s your name on this crate, if it is maybe edit it out. Cheers.
