Is there a German Field Kitchen Manual?

[Glen S.]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what WW 2 German manual/handbook contains information about the types of standard field kitchens they used. I figure there must be some manual that was issued to the food service soldiers and I am interested in seeing what the components were/diagrams and how to operate, etc.

Hi Glen,

in the book "Gulaschkanonen - Feldküchen . Bäckereien. Zubehör und Ausstattung 1935 - 1945" by Horst Hinrichsen there are some advices to manuals for the use of the German field kitchens:
H.Dv. 476/3 29.8.1932: Das allgemeine Heeresgerät
- die große Feldküche (Hf. 11) und die kleine Feldküche (Hf. 12)
- die große Feldküche (Hf. 13) und die kleine Feldküche (Hf. 14)
- der große Feldkochherd 11 oder 13 und der kleine Feldkochherd 12 oder 14

H.Dv. 389 H2 1.6.1943: Allgemeines Heeresgerät
Teil 2, Feldküchen

Thank you both for the info. I had read where der Feldverpflegungsbeamte handbook was like a cook's version of the Reibert manual. I was not sure if it contains field kitchen info or not, sounds like it does not. Possibly this is more of a general logistics type of handbook for supply officials. Do either of you know?
