    NICE!
    As a reenactor, I've been fascinated with what's come out over the 100th anniversary of War One, but I'd definitely like to see more German, AH, Italian, and Russian stuff.

      Hi Henry, Thank you for your support as you can imagine this was our biggest effort to a video to date!
      Hopefully we can keep continuing to make more vids when the team are available from their normal working lives and family.
      Have a happy new year from the HCA team!

      Hi @popfrancis4080,
      We are still pretty much a new channel, and we are still finding our feet to hopefully continue with making more future videos. We has been busy with our personal lives in the past 12 months, that we hope we can start again sometime in 2025.
      Thank you for your kind feedback! :)

    It was fun, though, to hear you butchering pretty much all of the German words. 😅

    I very much enjoyed the video on early German field rations. I see it's been a year since you put out anything else. That's a shame as it was well put together and not overly long. I learned that there were men of Asian descent who served in the German Army! I had no idea before this video and the information provided in the comments. Best wishes to you. ETA Smoking and tobacco are part of other vintage field ration videos on UA-cam. Steve1989MRE has a load of them and he tests the cigarettes.

      Hi bradjohnson482, Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Yes, our team make these videos out of "labour of love", and we do this out of our own pockets and time. In the last 12 months our HCA team members have been very busy in our private lives that to coordinate has been very challenging. We are still in close contact and we hope 2025 will be our year to start up again.
      Yes, Tobacco was part of the rations of the German/Bavarian/ Prussian armies in that time period. the producer was worried about youtube's demonetisation for promoting smoking that we decided to leave this bit of information out (we actually mention this in our video description above), I'll leave you with this additional information about it from our HCA research notes for this vid, ENJOY!
      "Zigarren und Zigaretten"
      ""Heer und Flotte" (Army and Navy) packs of Cigarettes and Cigars which were issued to all German
      Armed Forces from the 1880's forward normally as part of daily or frequent rations, in an effort to
      standardize supplies. Cigars (based on size and manufacturer) were packaged in boxes containing
      between 3 and 10, while cigarettes initially came in 20's, but as the war progressed, were reduced to
      issue packs of 4, 5 or 10. Tobacco products were used as an unofficial form of currency in the field."

      Hi Billy,
      "What was the use of opium in ww1?
      Sedative drugs such as alcohol, morphine, and opium helped to subdue the physical and emotional pain, relax, and alleviate the horrors of combat. Stimulants, such as cocaine and alcohol (but in small amounts), enabled men to keep going and get through everyday life at the front. this was normally used as a medicinal application and not recreational use"
      Opium was not known to be used for smoking in Europe during WW1
      Our Character Danny was smoking a tobacco pipe that was poplar in Northern Europe during the late 19th and early 20th century.
      I hope you enjoyed the vid!

    I thought that Scat or 31 was and Italian card game. My family has been play this after family dinner for over a houndred years.

    • @historicalcookingadventure4721
      @historicalcookingadventure4721  Рік тому

      (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
      "This article is about the German card game. For the American game sometimes called Scat, see Thirty-one (card game).
      Skat (German pronunciation: [ˈskaːt][a]), historically Scat, is a three-player trick-taking card game of the Ace-Ten family, devised around 1810 in Altenburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. It is the national game of Germany[1] and, along with Doppelkopf, it is the most popular card game in Germany and Silesia and one of the most popular in the rest of Poland. A variant of 19th-century Skat was once popular in the US. John McLeod considers it one of the best and most interesting card games for three players,[1][2] and Kelbet described it as "the king of German card games."
      I been playing "31" for 7 years in another club, I did not know the German equivalent "Scat" till a few years ago while researching to build this kit for a public display!
      We normally keep our bets to 20 cents a game to keep the friendship among players!

      There are some tutorials on how to make it, a current one is by "Mark Young" a Canadian bushcrafter and all-round good egg. Worth a watch, it's very, very easy to make. Well worth swinging by his channel. He also makes Pemmican (ancient Indian iron ration, lasts literally centuries).

      Up until the end of the war, Germany still had a colonial Empire that had holdings overseas, These treaty ports were German concessions in China, leased to it by the Qing dynasty that included:
      - Kiautschou Bay concession, 1898 to 1914
      - German concession in Tientsin, 1895 to 1917
      - German concession in Hankou, 1895 to 1917
      - Chefoo, 1901 to 1914
      I cannot find the number on how many Asian colonial German troops served in WW1 however, here are some link to primary sources of photographs of at least 2 Asians serving in the German/Pussian military in the European theater
      gmic.co.uk/topic/41863-asians-serving-in-the-german-army/
      and a forum discussion on more pictures of Asians serving in the Prussian military: gmic.co.uk/topic/78058-asian-in-german-service/
      I hope that helps with your curiosity?
      Thanks for enjoying the Video!
