A paratrooper leaves an aircraft marked D-AXIO

Beside a corrugated-metal fuselage bearing the cross and the civil registration D-AXIO, a paratrooper tumbles away below the wing, his parachute not yet open; between the bracing struts of an aircraft a transport flies on as parachutes open over the fields below; a single parachute streams out behind a wing. German newsreel footage. The civil registration suggests that the scene was filmed before the war or at an exercise; the source places it in the Netherlands, May 1940.
