Watering can "D.R." ?

[saruman]

Hello,
I found this can with the marking "DR" and the third Reich eagle. Do you think she is authentic ww2 ?
I never see some piece of "equipment" before, so what do ou think she was used for ?
Was means "DR" ? "Deutsches Reich" ? "Deutsche Reichsbahn" ? ...

Than you in advance for your help !

Its Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Had had several different shaped containers or simular carriers over the years, but never a watering can - neat find!

Thank you very much for your answer ! :-)

I have still a question : is this red painting the original painting or should I remove it ?

I would leave the paint, looks old enough to be original
