Historical Background of 20L JERRY CANS

The original 20-liter German cans (Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister), introduced in the late 1930s by the German army, were an innovative solution for transporting fuel and water. During World War II, these jerricans were standard equipment for all kinds of vehicles—from motorcycles and armored personnel carriers to trucks and tanks. Their practical design, sturdiness and lightness led to their technology being adopted by the Allies as well, making the "jerrycan" a permanent part of military technology history.
The jerricans were commonly seen during, among others, the North African campaign, Operation Barbarossa, as well as in France and Italy.
