Industrial production of the “Kanister” started in 1937 in Germany, then in 1941 the USA created its own gas can, inspired by the German model. British production started only in 1942. Italy also manufactured the “taniche” for its army, but due to the absence of dates for the Italian version, it is hard to say exactly when production was launched. Finally, towards the end of the conflict, in 1944, France started to manufacture different models, with varying degrees of success. 160pp. 300 colour photos. 86 b/w period photos. Large format.
