The jerry can (Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister), as it was known in Germany, was first developed in 1937 by the Müller engineering in Schwelm to a design by their chief engineer Vinzenz Grünvogel. The Wehrmacht had specified that a soldier should be able to carry either two full containers or four empty ones, which is the reason the triple handles were fitted. The rectangular shape made it stackable.

By 1939 the German military had thousands of such cans stockpiled in anticipation of war. If you have a question about this item please contact me. Thank you for your time!
