2. What supply drops reached the bridge?
3.sten,well thats just so you can use whatever you want,get a mk5 and do it properly
Thats right, yes of course you were there wasn"t you
Actually not all container chutes are massive, there were a lot of small containers
dropped at Arnhem which resembled medium sized wicker hampers and the chutes
holding them were the size of reserve chutes, sometimes even smaller, you say you have
original drop containers, well so have i, it is one these British issue wicker drop containers,
not German so you cannot compare the size.
As for supply drops reaching Arnhem bridge, 1000's were dropped near Arnhem even the
Germans pilaged them, not just that the bridge in the photo could be one of scores of
bridges in Holland, the place is full of them, not just large bridges but small foot bridges,
the photo is merely representing a generic bridge in Holland.during the Arnhem Op, you are
definately picking flies now and trying to poke holes in my representation.
As for the MK -3 Sten, i have already explained that but it seems my explanation was not good
enough for you, i'll say it again for the benefit of the other readers, my group represents the 21sr
Independant Parachute Company, even though Airborne they were a seperate unit from the main
Parachute Regiment and were issued all sorts of weaponary and hardware some top secret.
If i were to pick holes i could do so too, your two photo's you have put up are just the same as
100's of others on here, this section is supposed to show realistic photographs resembling
original period WW2 photo's, yours do not fall into that catagory imho and just show modern
poses staged for the camera, even if you have picked holes in my portrayal in your opinion
(which is wrong anyway) my photo has been posted on other forums and many people mistook
it for an original WW2 pic.
