Paratroopers jump from the door

At the open door of an aircraft paratroopers launch themselves out one after another, arms spread, their static lines snapping taut as white canopies unfold beneath the fuselage over a patchwork of fields; three three-engined aircraft fly in a loose triangle as dozens of small parachutes drift beneath them. German newsreel footage; according to the source the landings in the Netherlands, 10 May 1940.
