Custom Piece Miniature – German Wehrmacht 200-liter fuel drum from the World War II olive-green 2 – 3D Print for LEGO Minifigure

This is a custom-made accessory for a toy, designed to represent a German Wehrmacht 200-liter fuel drum from the World War II era.

The accessory is a cylindrical barrel shape in a standard olive-green military color, with reinforcing rings around the body. The top surface is highly detailed with printed text that identifies its contents and owner. The text reads:

• “KRAFTSTOFF 200L,” which is German for “Fuel 200 Liters.”
• “FEUERGEFÄHRLICH,” which is German for “Flammable.”
• “WEHRMACHT,” which was the official name for the unified Armed Forces of Germany during that period.

Historical Background: The 200-liter (or 55-gallon) drum was a standardized and essential container for the bulk transport of fuel and lubricants for all mechanized armies of World War II. Germany’s Blitzkrieg strategy was entirely dependent on the speed of its Panzer divisions, which required a massive and constant supply of fuel. Drums like this, belonging to the Wehrmacht, were the lifeblood of the German war machine. They would be stockpiled in massive depots and transported by train and truck to the front lines to refuel tanks, trucks, and other vehicles. As vital and highly flammable assets, these fuel supplies were a prime target for enemy air attacks and partisans.
