Description

Originally conceived for use by German forces during WWII, the Jerry Can’s
design proved to be so good that it was reverse-engineered for use by the
Allies. The 20-liter container was tough and compact, allowing them to be easily
stowed aboard vehicles. It had a simple but effective lid mechanism with three
handles. The early type featured a simple cross-shaped indentation for strength
while later types had more complex indentation designs.
