- Wehrmacht Kanister 20 liter -

- A german invention : The Jerrycan -

The Jerrycan for his universal use, nearly 80 years old after its birth, deserved a specific and in-depth
study on its German origins.

Never addressed in a single book and with a preface by the grandson of one of the industrialist of this
invention, the Kraftstoff and Wasser examples are shown in all their diversity : of the most common to the
rarest in a catalogue of approximately 150 models.

The multiple manufacturers : the automotive OEMs, the coachbuilders, the ustensil's kitchen manufacturers,
the conglomerates industrial are presented by chapter with a brief history.

This book develops all the themes of this revolutionary can : from the invitation to tender of the
WaffenAmt of 1936 to the post war manufacturing, from the industrialization to the use doctrine, from the
accessories to the export models, from original colours and painted markings to the shortage of gazoline of the IIIrd Reich.

50 unpublished original photographs show the fuel distribution chain and the use of the Kanister 20 Liter
in the Wehrmacht.

Various profiles and graphics complete this book.

Hardback book - 160 pages - Bilingual book French-English - Publish in October 2013 - Price : 39,50 euro

Any info in the new book about the SS cans manufactured by Sandrick? Doesn't seem to be much collective knowledge out there on them! Hopefully the new book can shed some light such as years of production, distribution etc.

Hi Friends Collectors.

The book isn't available now (around in one month).
You can find it on Amazon or I can sell an example dedicated when I have got some.

Regards from France.

Hi Freinds Collectors.

Hy Stephane

I found a 1937 Schwelm in a barn here in Austria.
Are the pre war cans more worth than the ones from the war ?
I saw one of this 37th Schwelm on ebay went up to 500€ ?

Thanks Reinhard
