Thought this thread needed some livening up....I found these jpegs and thought they might have the makings of some interesting labels. They may need to be scaled down a tad to fit your packageing. Enjoy......rich

craig- sorry for the delay, here's the label for the large cardboard box for 12 man rations. it's in blue, i've seen them in red, like the frontfighter box. hope this is of some help.

low res here, high res at http://www.soldaten.ca/ratbox12.pdf

Drew, the label has some minor errors that need to be fixed. First error is "Jnhalt", which should be "Inhalt", second error is "Darf nur im Notfall verausgabt werden", which should be "Darf nur im Notfall ausgegeben werden"

Anyways, good work.

sauerkraut

On this package sauerkraut is spelled wrong.

Anyways, good work.

[Drew Maynard]

weird, i copied this from an original, let me find it and make changes. It appears as 'inhalt' in my pdf i downloaded....

[TotenRot]

Drew, your correct, that is the original and thats what it says. On the other hand, I am positive that a real german did not write that.

Hi Guys;
Just thought I'd put my two cents worth in. According to my wife, who is a kraut, both ways are correct. The printing on the original is the old way of doing it and means that the items inside will or can be used when needed. Also the word "Jnhalt" is the old way of printing that was used prior and during the war. Hope this helps. (Her mother agrees.).

Well, I myself speak pretty good German, and I am the one who noticed it. I showed it to my girlfriend, who's from Germany, her sister, and her dad. They all mentioned it was funny, but like you said could possibly be "Altes Deutsch".

Funny you actually call your wife a kraut... I said that once to a German and they thought it was offensive.

Its a very bureaucratic, but correct german. The big J instead of the correct big I i have seen, even very rarely, in WW2 papers. No reproducer would use such a complicated phrase like "darf verausgabt werden" and make such a simple mistake like using J instead of I. So its quite realistic, even though using it when non-historians are around you will have to explain that very often! So you better erase the "historic" misspelling.
