Jerry Can
A jerrycan or jerrican (also styled jerry can or jerri can) is a fuel container made from pressed steel (and more recently, high density polyethylene). It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold of fuel or water, and saw widespread use by both Germany and the Allies during the Second World War.

The design was reverse engineered and subsequently copied, with minor modifications, by the Allies during the Second World War.
