Hi Bert

That is shuch a good photo, the sight of a doinkey with a jerrycan looks quite funny.

It is a pity it was not posted a few weeks ago. Here in Britain there was a threat of a strike by petrol tanker drivers and sent half the country in to panic buying of fuel. Made worse by a government minister saying that we should all be stocking up and filling our jerrycans. A photo of a donkey with a jerrycan would have gone down with the British public.

PS I know that a white cross indicates a can for drinking water not fuel.

Hello

I have some question: if somebody has info or Foto's about the Fuelcanisters in the mixing load-Abwurfbehalter 250 (care bombs) were wrapped up,

a) The conical application

b) The cylindrical application

For the Flussigkeitseinsätze one had encoded different signs with a colour ribbon and with label

1) Yellow.... for fuel
2) Green.... for drinking water
3) Brown.... for oil

Not the mixing load applications for spare parts, ammunition, weapons...........

Thanks greet leon
