I love the fact that Steve opens these, records and tries out the contents. It is tempting to think of it as something that should be in a Museum but I'm inclined to suggest that there are plenty such examples in Museums all over the world and that it's far more rare to see the contents, nevermind try it out and therefore I'd argue that Steve has made an Audio/Visual museum for us all, not to state the obvious intentionally.

Often the museums only want the containers/packaging/empty washed tins for safe display purposes, which is why in many videos Steve opens containers from the bottom and purposefully saves packaging to donate to museum displays... But these videos are far more than you could ever get from a display! Plus it reaches people that would likely never see these because they didn't visit such a museum... Both are important ways to preserve history, and Steve helps with both 👍 Steve is definitely a great man for his studies, presentations, and preservations of this very important, often under appreciated history 👏

I love it when Steve finds cigarettes. I don’t smoke anymore but seeing the different design philosophy is interesting. Plus, he’s very good at pinpointing flavors and notes. It feels like I can taste what he’s describing. Also fun to imagine what it might have been like having a hard and terrifying day, having only that smoke to look forward to.

@K12machinima

I think Steve is the only guy on the planet that can make smoking not only look cool, but seem like an event, rather than a force of habit; I’ve met way too many people who smoked cigarettes, and not many of them seemed to actually enjoy it, or could even describe the flavor/aroma of the cigarettes they buy. I do love the smell of pipe tobacco though. A good, quality tobacco smells sweet, somewhat fruity (like raisins), and just reminds me of my grandfather before he had lung issues and had to stop, shortly after I was born. My grandfather also served as a field medic in WW2, and while I don’t think I ever saw him hold a cigarette in any pictures, I can imagine with the hell he saw and went through on a minute-to-minute basis, a cigarette would have been a luxury, in any downtime - same with everyone else on the fronts.

I only smoked weed. Smoked a joint with tobacco 1 time and saw a brown spot on my tooth and said never again. Was 1-2 tiny hits from it too. Cigars a couple until a co-worker who smokes cigs everyday that a cigar is like a pack of cigs in 1. Nevertheless I also enjoy seeing him get cigs for the same reasons. The flavor stuff is the same with weed if your a real stoner you can identify terps and shit. Same goes for cigs I guess lol

Who would you be if you climbed out of what felt like a century in absolute Hell seeing an endless barrage of suffering, seeing so much death, your best friends dying they're mutilated corpses all the while you're fed propaghanda telling you who to blame? You might start to believe them and may even want to do worse to them than what they did to your friends. That anger although misplaced in reality, in their detoriated emotional adrenaline fueled state of mind it makes a lot of sense. Barely anyone knows who they would become if they were put through absolute Hell, so do not presume, in a developed society of abundance in comparision to literally every other country to ever exist, that most human being are in default good in nature.

i spoke to a 100 year old british vet and he told me that he didnt smoke at all during ww2 so he sold all his smokes and when the war ended he was able to move to canada and buy his house with just the money from selling his ration cigarettes to other soldiers its really cool to see what the rations where like during this time

Really puts in to perspective how cheap homes were back then. Even if he served for the entire war that’s less than 2000 packs of cigarettes he had to sell. What was he selling them for? Probably a nickel or a dime a pack but even if it was significantly more because it was war time your grandpa bought a home for under $2000

@@dspsblyuth A British vet would be selling his smokes to people who valued them more than their normal worth. The cost of houses jumped abruptly about 1972 give or take a few years. One year you could buy the house for under £1000 but two years later it was over £5000.

Steve, it tis something how watching your channel reminds me of my young days in the late 80's when I was taken to be babysitted by my grandpa who was a WW2 pilot. The stories he told me 30 something years ago and the empty guns he would let me play with. It is certainly a fine memory. Your channel is a whole vibe. It's relaxing. Thank you

Steve I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time. I can honestly say that I can see that you love what you do. Great video.

Hello Steve. I've been a fan of your videos for years. I woke up quite early this morning and saw this pop into my recommended and decided to have a watch. Seeing an olive drab can marked "BREAKFAST" looked like the universe was speaking to me, so I decided to throw on some clothes and go get some breakfast of my own. I just wanted to let you know that I think your videos are very cool. History has always been an interesting subject to me, but something that school doesn't show you is how the soldiers fighting in these conflicts might have lived their day-to-day lives in various theaters. Seeing the kinds of meals they would eat day in and day out helps paint a much better picture of how they might have spent their days. I don't think most people would expect a meticulous breakdown of historical rations to be able to do this, but it fascinates me that it does. This stuff you do is truly very cool and I'm happy to have been a fan for years.

I don't know why or what brought me to your channel, but I'm glad I'm here, never had any interest in MREs but your calming, optimistic demeanor is relaxing to watch/ listen to.
