History
The jerrycan was invented by the Germans in 1939 during the Second World War. In English, the Germans were nicknamed 'Jerries. This, of course, because they were the inventors of the jerrycan. The name Jerry survived the war and that is why we still call them jerrycans.

What is jerrycan?
A jerrycan is a tank that can hold gas, diesel, kerosene, or water. The staining of the canisters were unique in the sense that they represented the contents of containers.
- Red for gasoline
- Yellow for diesel
- Blue for petroleum
- Light blue for water

Moreover, the design was well thought out as it had three handles to optimize the operation of the heavy jerrycans. For example, they remain stable in cars under extreme conditions. The outer two levers were convenient to lift the container with two people. The center lever was perfect if your partner had gone off.

There are several types of ancient jerrycan models from a number of countries. On D-Day in 1944, more than 21 million jerrycans were scattered across Europe. During our investigation we have discovered that more than 1800 different jerrycan models exist.

“Without these cans it would have been impossible for our armies to cut their way across France at a lightning pace which exceeded the German blitzkreig at 1940. President Roosevelt”
