EAT EXACTLY WHAT WWII SOLDIERS ATE!

HERO RATIONS is so excited to bring the very best WWII K Rations, D Rations and C Rations. COMPLETELY READY TO EAT! We’ve spent years researching and reproducing rations for reenactors and living history displays! Countless hours of research and using our own personal collection as a template to build the best instant rations for you! Choose breakfast, supper or dinner, boxed and ready to go.

What makes HERO RATIONS WWII rations the BEST out there: 1. multiple sources for packaging, materials and ingredients 2. We use originals in our collection to help reproduce contents exact to originals 3. No expense spared to develop kits.

Contents:

Outer and inner boxes: Just like originals, our K Ration kits come with both the museum quality inner and outer cartons filled with edible contents. These include the waxed inner box and kraft outer box and all contents listed below. For 2024 we have Patten Food Corporation for the early/mid outer boxes, with the preferred tuck in flap design! These are professionally printed cartons, not at home on an inkjet printer! Unlike other K rations out there, these K rations are also CORRECTLY PACKED. Since HERO RATIONS can procure the correct sized cans and items, the cans and cigarette boxes are packed side-by-side, with matches above the can JUST LIKE ORIGINALS. The cellophane accessory bag contains the remaining food items all tightly packed just like originals with the gum packed outside the bag.
