Did you know that the jerry can is not named after the inventor of the handy 'reserve tank' but got its name in the 2e World War when the Allied forces went to 'save' those things that were seized from the Germans. Such a confiscated jerry can was officially called 'Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister' and was invented by our Eastern neighbors in the mid-thirties.
