Cool! Another M3A4 ammo cart!
The top one appears to be 101? But that seems to be pre jump? Isn't that a door bundle they have on the ammo cart?
In lower picture, we have both the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine featured. Nice.

In the lower picture, the man on the left, in the foreground, appears to be wearing a captured German sidearm. I blew up the web page and it looks like a Werhmacht insignia at the top of the holster. What do you think?
Pulling the cart? That's a 1916 holster.
No, the lower of the two pictures, in the first post, this one, the soldier on the left, in the foreground, check out the holster. Ordinarily guys who carried Garands were not issued sidearms, so...seems to me to be a German capture, particularly with the insignia.
I agree that from here it looks like a German eagle but thatr's a 1916 holster for a .45. I'm sure of it.
What do you think is going on then? Interesting, huh?
All I care about is the great view of the intact (post-landing) Horsa glider in the top picture.
That's why I thought it was pre jump. The door bundle is entact and rigged. The Horsa is in one piece and on it's feet...
