OIL IN PAPER BOTTLES
made from waste material A part of the complicated system by which Germany keeps, its huge blitz armies rolling on a smooth flow of oil and gasoline is explained in an article published with the approval of the German High Command. Tin containers for oil, the article said, was regarded by the High Command as. "a tremendous waste." Be sides, gathering up used tins and "deoiling" them was costly. Accordingly, Germany's inventors were asked to devise something cheap and practical. The result was an impregnated quart bottle made of waste paper. The Army then designed a rectangular, five gallon canister made of tin and an alloy so that it can be dropped, from a moving vehicle without smashing it.
