It's a kind of toilet, used where there is no sewer.
In my specific case (which is actually a translation from Japanese into Italian, but I understand English as well) it's a toilet used in a military aircraft during II World War.
Can someone tell me the English word for that?

It is used when events (exhibitions, etc.) are mounted in the country were there is no sewer. Here in Argentina, it´s called "baño químico" (in Spanish).

I was looking for some toilet history... hahaha...
Although nowadays there are vaccum/chemical toilets in planes, (see: http://travel.howstuffworks.com/question314.htm), I found that there were no toilets on planes in WWII (at least in militar planes). They had "relief tubes" in which they could urinate, but at high altitudes, they seem to be frozen...

Note from asker:
| Yes, it must be something like this. We call it "bagno chimico" in Italy, as well. Although I have some doubts: were those kind of toilets already used during II World War? |

Do you mean this^

Note from asker:
| That would be the case of a modern airplane, but we are talking of a II World War bomber so I don't think it's a proper "aircraft lavatory". |
