In Germany the word "Wehrmacht" was most times only used for the army.
The "Kriegsmarine" (Navy) and the "Luftwaffe" (airforce) were also under
the command of the OKW (High Command of the Wehrmacht), but they had
different unfiforms, different insignia, different equipment and also
different licence plates for their vehicles.
WH =3D Wehrmacht Heer (Army)
WL =3D Wehrmacht Luftwaffe (Airforce)
(I don't know the letter for the Kriegsmarine)
SS =3D SS units
So if you have a jerrycan stamped "Wehrmacht", you can be sure, it was
used by the army.
Best regards from Germany
