Just a little bread-bag filler i knocked up over the weekend, it's a label for the Wehrmacht's official Amphetamine supply.

You need a small tube with a lid, and you can use it to store your supply of pro-plus, glucose tablets, or whatever it is you use to keep yourself tip-top and awake during those long night guard duties. :D

This is the original, and it's the only image i can find of it:

and this is my version (click to get a *huge* version for hi-res printing):

if anyone has any other photo's of Pervitin tubes, let me know so i can correct the label, as i've made half of it up!

Well let me know what you think and where maybe I could improve on this area. I realize some of it is mainly fantasy but helps your food look the part instead of dragging out the Dorritos chips bags and a plastic bottle of Coke :lol:

they look really cool! i've already downloaded a few of the ones from the same place to print out for my rations at CR, as like you said, it looks a bit crap eating modern food in a ww2 uniform! :D

Well done guys - :D Got to agree, it wouldn't look or feel quite right would it, breaking out the cans of fizz and bags of potato fries.

Great site CN - thanks for the link - :D

Of course, if you want to be truly authentic, go for Fanta - devised as a coke alternative due to the ban on the export of any products from the US to Germany during the war years, the German coke subsidiary (Coca Cola GMbH) had to come up with something else - hence, "Fanta"

interesting, i never knew that!

the only problem being, they don't sell fanta in glass bottles anymore do they? orangina and coke in glass bottles we can still 'liberate'!

What tube did you use for the repro pervatin?

And those rations look waaay better than mine, but then i'm bringing hot cans with slightly stretched soup labels on, taken from the files you sent me Kermit :D
