"Germans Eating Sour Krout" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, who is renowned for his sharp and often biting political and social satire during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in the year 1798, this work exemplifies Gillray's adeptness at using visual wit to comment on the events and figures of his time. The print depicts a group of German soldiers engaged in the voracious consumption of sauerkraut, a fermented cabbage dish that is a staple in German cuisine.

The caricature serves as a commentary on the presence and influence of German mercenaries and auxiliaries in Britain and other European countries during the period. It reflects the contemporary British attitudes towards foreign military forces and plays on national stereotypes, using the act of eating sauerkraut as a metaphor for German culture and habits. Gillray's work often targeted political figures and foreign powers, and this print is no exception, offering a humorous yet critical perspective on the geopolitical dynamics of the era.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "Germans Eating Sour Krout" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey and circulated among the British public, contributing to the vibrant culture of political and social discourse through visual satire. The print remains an important example of Gillray's contribution to the art of caricature and the role of satirical art in shaping public opinion and commentary during the late 18th century.
