Historical reference.

Wehrmacht units were supposed to have a three-day supply of food to feed its soldiers. In addition to this, there were two types of inviolable rations. The first one is "Halb Eiserne Portionen" (half iron portion), it was kept by every soldier in his bread or sturm bag. The second is a complete Emergency Ration, which was stored in the field kitchen or transported by separate transport in case the usual supplies ran out. Products from the E. R. were not served at the table along with the usual dinner.

Knäckebrot were part of the most important Halb Eiserne Portionen. The ration was only for emergency use when the tactical situation did not allow hot meals for 24 hours or more while the unit was cut off or isolated. Platoon commander had the right to order the use of rations. As soon as this ration was used up, it had to be reported immediately in order to promptly replenish the supplies of soldiers.

Halb Eiserne Portionen consisted of the following components:

1. Brittle bread — the daily norm was 250 g (Zwieback, Hartkeks or Knäckebrot).

2. Canned meat — daily allowance 200 g (Fleischkonserve).

Knäckebrot had the appearance of a typical whole grain "Swedish" hard bread. It was hard and brittle, with a strong rye flavor. Usually packed in cardboard boxes or wrapped in paper.
