Product Overview
Scho-Ka-Kola (for Scho kolade – Ka ffee – Kola nuss) was created in 1935 and patented by the Hildebrand, Kakao- und Schokoladenfabrik manufacturer.
During the war, these Chocolates were issued to troops of the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Tank Crews. Wehrmacht-issue Scho-Ka-Kola were designated 'Wehrmacht-Packung' on the container underside, issued in either the metal tin or must more rare cardboard container version.
This cardboard container is wildly rare and in good condition. The black around the edges is the period tape used to seal the container.
It was introduced at the 1936 Summer Olympics as a performance-enhancing energy "Sport Chocolate" (German Sportschokolade). It was also produced by the chocolate manufacturer B. Sprengel & Co. in Hannover, who in 1936 was recognized as an important pre-war economy operation, as well as produced by other German chocolate manufacturers.
