Actually, my mistake. The term is jerry built, not jerry rigged. Jury rigged means a temporary or field expedient fix and is a sailing term.
The term jerry as in jerry built does not refer to a German soldier as it was in use long before German soldiers were referred to a Jerry's. My experience with German products, having lived in German for two years, is that German products are anything but, "jerry built".
