In WWII the Germans made much of their food everyday from scratch. They had various stoves and ovens with their units and butchers and would actually slaughter animals for fresh meet and bake bread. In the background you can see a soldier with a bucket of potatoes.
One of the ways the Germans kept the retreat from the East orderly was to set up road blocks. The road block would include a field kitchen and the fleeing troops would stop to eat and then the military police could round them up and form them back into units.
The troops in the far background are ACW men with new heads from the HaT Bicycle set. The HaT set has extra heads and they come in handy for conversions. The horse and hitching rail are from Atlantic. The Germans had large numbers of horses in most of their units and this gives me some horse maintenance men and accessories.
The seated man with his legs crossed is a combat artist. I put artists, cameramen, still and movie with my units. Units fight better and have better morale when they are on television or otherwise being watched by the folks back home. Germans had newsreels that played in theaters right up to the end of the war.
