Transports in formation drop paratroopers

Three-engined transports with corrugated skins, crosses and code letters on their fuselages and the swastika on their tail fins, fly close together; a man crouches in an open door, another is already falling away beneath a tail, and parachutes blossom below; from the ground, the transports pass overhead in a pale sky as a line of jumpers drifts down beneath them. German newsreel footage; according to the source the landings in the Netherlands, May 1940.
