Reading Peter Caddick-Adams' "Sand & Steel - The D-Day Invasion and the Liberation of France" and this caused a chuckle. Apparently the paratroopers jumped into Normandy carrying cans of Heinz self-heating soup, which I'd never encountered a reference to before. The Germans were impressed and called them Selbstfahrende suppe. Sadly, Kindling is NA.
