Military biscuit

It was to replace the military Zwieback known as Bundesziegel in German language (federal brick) and should be compatible with cheese or sausage as well as with chocolate.

Since 1959, the army has distributed about a million servings of the military biscuits to the soldiers every year.

Some private traders sold military biscuits, which the DDPS initially wanted to prevent, because the trade with army food is forbidden.

Since 2010, Kambly, still a manufacturer of military biscuits, is allowed to sell these to large distributors.

[1] Since 2009, the biscuits have also been distributed together with the military chocolate in a gift box with the dedication of the Chief of the Armed Forces to the soldiers who have fulfilled their military service obligations.
