Historical Context
The 20-liter jerry can became one of the most iconic pieces of military equipment during World War II. Originally a German design, the superior construction was quickly adopted by Allied forces, including the US Army. These robust containers could safely transport fuel or water across rough terrain without leaking, making them invaluable for keeping mechanized units supplied in the field. American soldiers relied on these cans throughout all theaters of operation, from the deserts of North Africa to the forests of Europe and the Pacific islands. The distinctive shape and carrying handles made them easy to stack and transport on vehicles.
Perfect For
Ideal for WWII US Army vehicle dioramas, supply depot scenes, and battlefield logistics displays. Pair with 1/35 scale US Army vehicles or combine with other diorama accessories for complete World War II scenes.
