. MNS / auo Metallindustrie G.m.b.H. Werk Neunkirchen Saar --------- Another production of the Saarland industrialist for the Wehrmacht, this coffee box from 1941 in aluminium - Kaffee-Büchse, fit the very popular field kitchen - Feldküche Gulashkanone (Stephane Arquille collection). .
As requested by the directive of the "Reichsminister der Luftfahrt und Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe" (see the Industrialisation update), MNS abandoned his logo for the benefit of the manufacturer code "auo" on this box which also stamps with the WaffenAmt WaA416 (Stephane Arquille collection).
With a capacity to carry about 5 litres, identical to that of the manufacturer LAG - Lippert & Arnold Metallwarenfabrik in Grünhain (see the Kraftstoff models update), the Kaffee-Büchse of MNS, less common, doesn't have the same dimensions, however, its greatest width compensates for its lesser height (Stephane Arquille collection). . |
