    This is not even speaking about politics or historical politics its just ww2 equipment history. CZcams seems have a real issue with people that documents the past.
    Nice video

    Ironically the term "Jerry" in jerrycan came from the allied nickname for Germans

      More like it was deliberate. Germans back then were called Jerry and their liquid CANister is therefore called jerrycan which everyone then plagiarize and many of the features still present until today

    Guys, it’s amazing!
    I remember this story, it happened to me a year ago. My friends and I went out of town, fishing, the lake was already frozen decently, so it was possible to drive a car on the ice. We had two carnisters in the trunk, one with petrol and the other with diesel (I still don't understand why they took diesel with them if our car runs on gasoline). And it so happened that the gasoline ran out right during the journey. I asked one of my friends to get the petrol jerrycan from the trunk and fill up the car. But that idiot, poured diesel into it. Because of this, the whole car completely stalled. I had to call a tow truck. The whole car had to be cleaned from the inside. They cleaned the tank, the matrix, the engine and the gearbox. Everything.
    Right now we are remembering the story with laugh 🤣
