They flew in helicopter loads of food for us.
Buddy of mine was on field maneuvers Christmas in Germany. Freezing their butts off. word cam down that they were getting hot Turkey meals flown in. Sure enough, a helicopter with a steaming container hung under it showed up. When the container was set down the all rushed up to see little cans of Turkey C-rations floating in hot water.

“Buddy of mine was on field maneuvers Christmas in Germany.”

What army unit was in the field in Germany during Christmas? That was one of the times of year it was great to be a soldier in Germany. The Mess Hall served top notch meals to the troops. They even had bottles of wine on the tables for the troops. I spent tons of time in the field, but never on Christmas.
