Historical Background

Throughout World War II, the German military depended on standardized 200-liter fuel drums and 20-liter Wehrmacht jerry cans to transport fuel and drinking water to front-line units. The rugged jerry can design, introduced by Germany in the 1930s, became so effective that it was later copied by Allied forces and remains the basis for modern fuel containers. Fuel drums, pumps, and water containers were common sights at supply dumps, maintenance areas, and vehicle staging points, making them essential accessories for realistic WWII military dioramas.
