Description

German Military Food Supply Crate – WWI / WWII Ration Box (1914–1945)

Realistic Battlefield Logistics Detail

This German food supply crate is suitable for both World War I and World War II scenes. The design represents wooden ration transport boxes used to deliver bread, canned food, and other essential supplies to soldiers.

Because food logistics were critical during both wars, such crates were commonly found in trench systems, rear areas, field kitchens, and supply depots. In addition, the compact size makes it easy to integrate into various battlefield environments.

Authentic Military Supply Equipment

German forces relied on wooden crates for organized transport of provisions throughout WWI and WWII. Therefore, this model reflects the typical military logistics equipment used from 1914 to 1945.

Moreover, the reinforced plank construction and simple industrial design match early and mid-20th century military transport containers. As a result, the crate fits naturally into trench systems, urban ruins, depot areas, and frontline support positions.

Perfect for Dioramas and Wargaming

You can use this food supply crate for:

WWI trench dioramas
WWII battlefield scenes
supply and ration setups
field kitchen environments

tabletop wargaming terrain

Furthermore, it complements ammunition boxes, fuel drums, sandbag fortifications, and storage scenes.

Scale Options

The proportions match standard WWI and WWII figures and terrain in these scales.

Materials and Finish

Produced using high-precision 3D printing. We use durable PLA material to preserve sharp plank detail and structural stability.

The model is supplied unpainted. Therefore, you can prime and paint it according to your own style. The surface works well with acrylic paints, enamel paints, washes, and weathering effects.

Working Tips

First, gently clean the model before painting. Then apply a plastic primer to improve paint adhesion.

After priming, apply a natural wood base tone. Next, use darker washes to enhance plank lines and corners. In addition, add subtle dirt, dust, or mud effects for realism.

Finally, apply light dry brushing to highlight edges. As a result, the crate will look authentic and field-used for both WWI and WWII settings.
