Ration coupons

These replicas of ration coupons (Lebensmittelkarte) represent some of the most authentic accessories for anyone dedicated to WWII reenacting or collecting. During the era of total war and the rationing system, possessing money was secondary; the key document was this card, which determined the entitlement to a specific amount of basic supplies.

Our offer includes individual variants covering various aspects of wartime supply:

Führergeschenk für Fronturlauber was a privilege for Wehrmacht soldiers returning home on leave from the front. This "Leader's Gift" served as a bonus package with coupons for wheat flour, sugar, or butter, allowing the soldier to provide his family with ingredients that were otherwise almost unavailable in the civilian sector.

Reichskarte / Heimatverpflegungszulage served as a meal voucher for soldiers during their stay at home, ensuring they did not burden the limited civilian rations of their loved ones. The document precisely defines weekly grammages of bread, meat, fat, and eggs, which the soldier claimed in local shops as his legal entitlement to military rations in the home territory.

Grundkarte (1945) represents a basic document for adult civilians from the dramatic final stages of the war in the Wolmirstedt area. In addition to regulating basic foodstuffs, it contains rare coupons for soap and washing powder, making it an excellent prop for portraying the late-war period and civilian life in besieged Germany.

Reichsbrotkarte from 1943 is a specialized bread card for the Berlin area, divided into numerous small slips for precise weights from 50 g to 1000 g. The characteristic black fields with a white letter "R" allowed merchants quick orientation, while the card documents German administrative precision in distributing the most essential component of the diet.

Reichsmilchkarte from 1939 reflects the beginning of strict regulation of dairy product distribution immediately after the outbreak of the conflict. Each of the 28 numbered squares on the card corresponds to a daily ration of 1/4 liter of milk, making it a great accessory for authentic scenes from period households or shops.
