Historical background and purpose

The 20L "Jerry Can" type cans and 200L drums were the most characteristic fuel containers used by the US Army during World War II (1939-1945). They played a key role in logistical support for the Allies in operations such as the Normandy landings (D-Day), the Battle of the Bulge, and the Italian Campaign. They facilitated the transport, storage, and distribution of fuel for armored vehicles, jeeps, trucks, and aircraft units. Both types of containers were designed with durability in mind – they allowed for multiple reuse and easy loading and unloading in field conditions.
