"The 'samples' are 'Hitlers Reden/Garantiert arischer Fuhrer-schmalz"
(Hitler's speeches/guaranteed Aryan Fuhrer lard); 'Delikatess-
Katzenschinken' (delicatessen cat ham); 'Prima Loch-Kase' (grade A
cheese with holes); 'Deutsches Streckkotelett' (German stretched
cutlet [note that 'das Streckbett' is the rack]); '1a Fleisch im
eigenen Saft' (finest butter in oil tubes); 'ERZ in Blauband mit
dem Schwan Frisch Gekirnt' (ore in the blue band with the swan,
freshly churned). The last is a reference to Goring's 'guns before
butter' speech (Schwan in Blauband, or Swan in Blue Band, was a brand
of margarine.) [Evans, p. 338]
