DMN, that's a cool jug!
Original small Luftwaffe aluminum coffee jug with lid and handle marked DMN 39. The bottom is also marked FL UV with the Luftwaffe eagle. It has been painted red inside and out (but not the bottom) for some reason. I am not sure what the paint might be hiding but it seems like it is in decent condition. This is smaller than the normal coffee jug, which probably has something to do with it being Luftwaffe. A number of Luftwaffe field kitchen items and even the kitchens themselves were slightly smaller than their army counterparts.
These are synonymous with barracks life in the German army. You frequently see them in photos and often drawn into cartoons and comics. I have heard that this was technically the coffee jug while the other jugs without lids were for water. I am not sure that this was a real difference or not. Apparently, a soldier would take this jug every morning to have it filled with coffee and bring it back to the barracks room.
