Mårup Skov, Samsø drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro
Two airdrops were made on Samsø that night. The plane airdropped 13 Fox-containers and a package of hand grenades. The biggest problem was getting the airdropped weapons transported off the island. They were packed in neutral looking boxes and sent by ship to Odense harbour.
