Also, that’s a generous amount of butter for a week, unless they had no access to other cooking fats.
No, that’s the whole ration of meat/dairy/fat for the entire week. Until the increase in agricultural production after WWII, there was a lack of nutrients, especially fat among the population (in German: Fettlücke).
In Germany, the Nazis were even banning wooden spoons, which were common among the poorer people, as they were soaking up fat.
