German WW1 Ginger Candy
 
Ingwerbonbons--Ginger Candy. One of the standard items carried by Frontsoldaten and Sailors (Especially aboard U-Boots-Not much tooth-brushing water to spare...).
 
This pack is a perfect copy of the "Kern" brand Ginger candy sold in Soldier's outlets and handed out in the rear areas ("Etappe"). Package duplicates the 1905-1918 variety of this brand, and contains the correct strong ginger candies. Not for the faint of heart, they are said to effectively hide a "Fahne" (Soldier's expression of Alcohol breath--'Flying a Flag').
 
A super add-on to your Waffenrock, display, brotbeutel, ration bag, or just to have next to your pipe and tobacco.
 
Those who have had the pleasure to still have met some German Great War Veterans will recall most of them smoking pipes rather than cigarettes, and always having Ginger, Menthol or Mint candies on hand, ready to share with any kid who would listen to a story of how it was at Doumont, Toter Mann, Verdun and Ypers.
