The two men, who are based at Fürstenfeldbruck, a fighter squadron
headquarters, near Munich had already trialed a traditional receipe
using their own blood.

But they were caught trying to recruit fellow servicemen and family
members to ensure a constant flow of raw materials.

One of the soldiers posted pictures of himself on a popular German
website siphoning off their blood and adding it to a recipe for the
traditional Blotwurst sausage using onions, bacon, spices and
breadcrumbs.

The incident only came to the attention of senior officers after one
of their fellow soldiers reported the fact that he had been asked to
donate some blood for the scheme.

The man is reported to have said: "I have been asked to give blood for
sausage-making and I want to know if this is against regulations."

The sergeants, aged 25 and 29 and identified only as B and G, were
suspended immediately...

The recipe for the sausage, which apparently came from one of their
grandmothers, was found in the belongings of one of the men after they
were arrested.
