Kit Features
This comprehensive model includes the complete Kleine Feldküche 14 with detailed feed boiler (125-liter capacity), coffee boiler (60-liter capacity) positioned on the left side, authentic chassis and wheel assembly, and precision-molded components capturing all operational details. The kit accurately represents the compact design that distinguished the small field kitchen from the larger Grosse Feldküche, notably the absence of additional storage compartments on the right side.
Historical Context
The Gulaschkanone or field kitchen was an efficient means of providing large quantities of nourishing hot meals with the minimum of resources. German field kitchens served as mobile cooking units that could prepare meals for entire companies of soldiers under field conditions. Meal menus regularly included potato soup, pea and ham soup, and all sorts of stews that provided essential nutrition to troops in combat zones. The feed boiler had a volume of 125 liters, while the coffee boiler arranged on the left side had a volume of 60 liters. These field kitchens became essential morale boosters, providing hot meals even in the most challenging combat environments across Europe, North Africa, and the Eastern Front.

Ideal for WWII German rear area dioramas, supply depot scenes, and field encampment displays. Pair with 1/35 scale German trucks or combine with IBG Models Einheitsdiesel with Small Field Kitchen for complete logistics scenes.
