Overforster drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro
The plane airdropped 9 Fox-containers with 44 submachine guns, 45 carbines and 4 PIAT. They were dropped badly and the containers were scattered all over the field. One container ended up in a tree. All the goods were gathered together and driven to a depot in a holiday cottage at Troldhøj.
