Original WWII German Luftwaffe (Airforce) MESS HALL TABLESPOON. (Kantine Eßlöffel) Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified. As with any nations military the Germans had garrisons and barracks to house and care for its troops when they were not in the field. Following the old adage that, “an army runs on its stomach”, one of the major concerns and main benefits of military life was the guarantee of three “square” meals a day. When in garrison/barracks these meals were served in mess halls that had to be outfitted with enough cutlery and flatware to serve the number of personnel stationed there.
