Wehrmacht Einheitskanister type jerry cans were widely used by the German army from 1937 throughout WWII until 1945. Their distinctive design—20-liter capacity, steel construction, and a convenient handle—revolutionized military logistics. These jerry cans were transported on armored vehicles such as the Panzer IV, Tiger, Sturmgeschütz III, as well as transport vehicles like Kübelwagen or Opel Blitz. They were used on all fronts: Eastern, Western, and in North Africa.
