Looks like they came down in an orchard. Dangerous stuff.....Frank
Agreed not only from injury/death from the trees but getting hung up and easy pickings for the other people firing at you :surrender:
I wonder which jump that was...and yes, a tree landing is less than desirable.
Daytime ..... Market Garden ?

OK...it would make sense.
Or D-day plus...
Didn't some of the 82nd come down in an orchard near Sainte Mere Eglise?
Couldn't say. I know practically no one hit their drop zone.
Some very wide dispersion there. There would have been a very disappointed DZ controller group on "D"...very un loved feeling. "O" did alright, I wonder how many were his intended sticks though?
