We have three varieties of the Late War C Ration - Breakfast, Dinner and Supper. Each comes with a Late War M-Unit menu can.

Most of our orders are typically made to order so please expected 1-5 business days to ship.

Starting in September 2025 we now have reusable and refillable entree cans that match the originals with fully edible freeze dried contents inside! This allow for the simple addition of a bit of water to rehydrated and allows for the tins to be used over and over again! - Meaning unlike ANY WWII ration maker out there, our B and M Units are both FULLY EDIBLE, REUSABLE, REFILLABLE! No Prep, no arts and crafts, no B Units without M Units. We offer all three of the late war WWII C Rations - Breakfast, Dinner and Supper, with three different M Units - Ham and Eggs, Meat and Vegetable Stew and Spaghetti with Meat Sauce.

EAT EXACTLY WHAT WW2 SOLDIERS ATE! Since 2020, Hero Rations has specialized in creating the most authentic reproduction World War II rations available today. Their products are meticulously crafted to replicate the look, feel, and content of original wartime rations, making them ideal for collectors, reenactors, and history enthusiasts. Each ration pack is made to be historically accurate, using original reference materials, photographs, and documentation to ensure precise replication. From the packaging design to the labels and the contents themselves, Hero Rations strives to deliver a truly immersive experience using over 240 different products and ingredients sourced from all over the world.

We go to great lengths to source or recreate the food items that would have been included in WWII rations, such as canned goods, biscuits, candy, and beverages. All of the consumable items are fully edible and made and packaged to GMP food safety standards. Many of the contents are also reusable, like sturdy metal cans and containers, adding practicality and sustainability to their appeal, especially for reenactors and living historians. Hero Rations blends historical accuracy with quality and reusability, providing a genuine taste of history in every ration we produce.

Our fully edible and historically accurate C Rations are made using the correct sized and seamed cans from WW2, but designed to be opened from the top and reclosed, instead of a single use can using a scored seam along the edge. In addition to the can dimensions, the can markings and die stamping are accurate for mid and late war.

NOTES:
Biscuits can crack in transit. The period-correct packaging was not designed to keep them full intact and safe. Nearly every period can I’ve opened had at least one broken biscuit.

Impression Notes: these last variation of the WWII C Ration did not appear until late 1944. They would be ideal for anything winter 1944 through the end of the war.
