    I loved that Jumpmaster - laid back, casual - just another day at the office. I was surprised to see you had a green light for nearly 50 seconds before you were given the command to go. I couldn't help but think of night jumps I had made where the only light inside the fuselage was the red light at the door - that eerie red glow. Then, after going thru the jump commands, waiting anxiously for the light to turn green and the shuffle toward the door. Good times, eh! Having served in the 101st in the 1960s I had the honor of serving with some of the men who had made their combat jumps during WWII. Lifers, we called 'em. Today I recognize them for the heroes that they really were. My First Sgt., Orville "Snuffy" Jones - HHC 2/506, was one of those men. He had two brass stars affixed to his Jump Wings, symbolizing the two combat jumps he had made - Normandy and Holland. Snuffy only stood about 5' 9" but he was one of the tallest men I ever met! Not in stature but in character. His fatigues were always heavily starched and sharply creased. He always gave us the same payday talk about the perils of Clarksville and the women who would do their best to separate us from our hard earned jump pay - an extra $55 a month. I can only recall him making one comment about his jump over France. It was his response to the query; "Weren't you scared to jump out of that plane that night?" He responded; "Hell no! I couldn't wait to get out of that goddamned aircraft because we were taking so much groundfire that it sounded like we were inside of a popcorn machine!" I'm nearly 75 years old now and I have a much greater respect for those brave souls who were willing to give their all that we might live in freedom. Thank you, Sidney, for making this video. I envy you the jump you got to make at this historic site. Please accept a snappy airborne salute from this old Trooper! Currahee!

    it's a hell of a feeling, especially with planes like that, because they do not have wind shields, so you take the full blast of wind. It's so exhilarating, then...silence and peacefulness as you float down. Completely mesmerizing....then you hit the ground and remember why my knees are going to be fucked up forever xD I'd love to do a jump like that though

    It takes a lot of guts to jump out of a perfectly fine aircraft. Then you add to it dead of the night, AAA shooting at you, carrying a lot of gear, landing finding you lost some of your gear, and knowing when you land you may have to fight your way out of the drop zone suriviving that you have to have to complete an objective to save the guys landing on the beach.

    I heard that the Nazi's flooded some of the farm fields by dam'ing the rivers, so even if they survived the drop (they didn't expect the fields to be flooded), some may have drowned instead trying to get out of their chute. I can't be sure if that actually happened but I heard that it happened in one or two documentaries I have watched.

Leaving from a C-47 you had a 5 (five) foot extension to the Static Line to clear the aircraft elevator. It appears they left from 1500-1800 feet vs 500 feet in Normandy.

    He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright, He checked all his equipment and made sure his pack was tight; He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar, "You ain't gonna jump no more!" (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! "Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up, Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up; He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock, He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop, The silk from his reserves spilled out, and wrapped around his legs, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome, Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones; The canopy became his shroud; he hurtled to the ground. And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind, He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind; He thought about the medic corps, and wondered what they'd find, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! He hit the ground, the sound was "SPLAT", his blood went spurting high; His comrades, they were heard to say "A hell of a way to die!" He lay there, rolling 'round in the welter of his gore, And he ain't gonna jump no more! (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild, The medics jumped and screamed with glee, they rolled their sleeves and smiled, For it had been a week or more since last a 'Chute had failed, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! (slowly, solemnly; about half the speed of the other verses) There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute, Intestines were a-dangling from his paratroopers suit, He was a mess, they picked him up, and poured him from his boots, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more!

    @@chriswest5360 There were only 100 8.8cm guns in France vs 1500 panzers and tens of thousands of machine guns. A paratrooper would have to be very unlucky to run into one. The other 20,000 8.8cm flak were either at home or deployed in Africa or the eastern front where they were much more useful owing to the flat terrain and lack of dense hedgerows and trees. Even the artillery guns at Brecourt manor that are commonly said to be 8.8cm flak were actually 10.5cm howitzers.

    The small patch of woods directly in front of the jumper at 4:17 is where a few members of the 82nd were holed up early morning June 6. They were captured at sunrise and brought to the Eglise Le Chateau for interrogation. Later that morning 4 were taken back to the woods and executed. A French woman found the 4 bodies plus 3 more who had been killed at sunrise, during the firefight.

    This is probably about as close as I can come to knowing what it was like for my maternal grandfather when he parachuted in on D-Day.

I feel a bit more connected to him now. Thanks!
