This question has plagued me for almost all my life. Why are German soldiers called 'Jerry'?
I know they're called Huns since the Huns originated from Germany and they're called krauts since most Germans love sauerkraut. But why Jerry?
Many believe that Jerry was an alteration of the word German. Or it could be because the Germans World War One helmet that was shaped liked a chamber pot or jeroboam. In a way then the Allies where calling the Germans toilet heads.
