WWII ADT Jump Summer 2017

[@PatrickE]

Hello all. Just to clear things up, yes the JM does omit the command "check static lines" as it was not a period correct jump command. The checking of the static line is not skipped however, as it is conducted during the "check your equipment" jump command. I am a presently serving U.S. Army paratrooper and Jumpmaster who recently attending Tier III training at the WWII ADT. I was extremely impressed by the training, professionalism and subject matter expertise of the cadre and team members alike. Some of their techniques and procedures differ from modern day Army Airborne operations, but absolutely nothing is conducted in a haphazard or unsafe manner. So yes, if you are a modern paratrooper some things may appear out of the ordinary to you, but given the requirement for authenticity and use of a non-standard aircraft and equipment, things are tailored to their mission. Two different ways of doing things, none of which are wrong or unsafe. AATW! WETSU!

Thanks for serving in the United States of America.

Thanks for those words, I'm signed up to attend next year and am looking forward to the experience.

[@kruisader3917]

As an aussie, thank you for your service

[@cameronkedas3375]

This would’ve been the perspective of my great grandfather. He was a paratrooper with the 82nd at Sicily and mainland Italy. Just before D-Day in Normandy, he was transferred to the 101st Airborne and jumped and fought in Normandy and then again into Holland. He was ordered to Bastogne with the rest of the 101st. He survived the war and made it home. I want to join the 82nd and become a paratrooper. Nothing will stop me!

[@felt389]

hope you can, i suggest doing some civ skydives before you do airborne school if you havent already so you dont risk being a no jumper

[@AirborneDaddy.]

[@fronkschilling7733]

Props to the camera man who went back in time to record this video for us

[@mikezarkadas]

This is by far the best video I've seen on KZbin that has to do about static line parachuting in POV. Your camera was perfect, you really captured the feeling of jumping from a plane. Also you had no equipment that gets in the way of the view. Other than that you executed your roll on your way down perfectly and started running around your canopy to take the air out. You are the first guy on KZbin I've seen that does all these things. Congratulations from a fellow Greek soldier in the Greek paratrooper department.

Now do this with Flak 88’s shooting at you for added immersion pls

[@charlesuplifted5216]

Flak 88 20mm flak guns both single and quad setup and mg42 shooting at the paratroopers as they fell

Can you still do this? Jump from a Dakota?

[@basileusgaming7047]

Was it fun

[@TheTimeOverlord]

" My contrôls are inverted " Ww2 airborn soldier: You have controls ? Ww1 pilot: You guys have parachute ?

[@rtasvadam1776]

Actually American paratroopers did have rudimentary controls for their parachutes, German Paratroopers did not, yet German Pilots did

[@Ranger_Actual]

Honestly I wouldn't be able to jump out of a plane I'd be too terrified lol

[@sachoune3416]

My first jump was a "dual" (idk how it's called in english) jump after a less than 10 minutes briefing Once you're strapped to the instructor you don't really have a choice lol The true scary moment is right before the door, once you're falling you don't feel much anymore except for the wind :)

[@asthmaticvalk5708]

Now Imagine this with AA fire and small arms fire directly at you then landing surrounded by the enemy with just you and whatever ammo you have praying to God you lost nothing and landed in the right spot and at the same time trying to find your squadron without dying.

[@МирјанаАдамовић]

And them singing in fear the "Blood upon the Risers"

And you forgot ONE important detail... Doing all of this at night.

[@shesintexas1198]

Whoa ! Thanks for taking us on a parachute jump. I'm 61 and have never been on one. That was awesome...

[@humanafterallTF2]

Wow, the landing is smoother than i would have expected. As a totaly un aware person about paratroop drops and extreme sports.

[@jaffacalling53]

They're much smoother than that with regular square parachutes.

[@Chris-vs4wt]

For the moments before they jumped out of the plane they felt exactly like soldiers dropping into Normandy felt

[@chrissmith7669]

Attended in July. Totally indescribable. I still repeat the commands and go through doors like exiting the AC.

[@richardpalen2327]

You are amazing! Way to live the history as close as possible. Keep it up!

[@vtbmwbiker]

Great video Paul. I just got back from ADT and got my wings. Showed your video to my students and fellow faculty members and got some interested in going next summer. Great shots of the commands, exits, your equipment check and exit. Really lays it out well for someone who hasn't seen it. Keith was the JM?

[@unironiccloudshrug340]

I imagine it must have been hell on the nights they jumped into warzones. Good chance of losing equipment once you jump, good chance of getting shot out of the sky by enemy aircraft, or worse not even being able to get out of the plane if it gets shot down. As they say. It would have been one hell of a way to die.

[@mahoney399]

That's what they say, "There was blood upon the risers, brains upon the chute, intestines were hanging from his paratrooper boots,,,,,,and he ain;t gonna jump no more. Gory, gory what a helluva way to dies, and he ain;t gonna jump no more", ATWA!

[@formerparatrooper]

I made my last Airborne jump at age 71 in Florida. It was supposed to be from a C-47 but when we got there we learned the bird was in the hanger so a twin Otter was used. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XRqmSFr7OCa6s I was fortunate that the guy loading behind me had a camera and he gave me the footage for my You Tube channel. The jump was supposed to be with a Laotian General who failed to make it to the DZ, but I still got the wings from him at Ft. Campbell later. I can wear them on my SF Association green jacket. I made a couple more jumps at Elizabethtown KY until my wife nailed my jump boots to a 2X6. Still it is nice to have a log book with all these memories.

[@Chessie-Steam-Special]

Imagine seeing some guys in ww2 airborne uniforms jumping down with guns, must of thought they lagged too long

[@EMP_Films]

They look so accurate, great video

[@diddlidai2814]

Imagine doing that, whilst being heavily shot at, in the dark. Losing your equipment due to excess speed of the plane and not being able to keep hold of it on the initial jolt. Landing, still being shot at, can't see your pals, just bright lights of AA's and noise of gun fire whilst being hunted down in unknown land with a knife and a tinderbox...

[@hfdshrimp3973]

How old do you have to be to do this type of re-enactment? And where can I find a group?

[@mr6johnclark]

Looking at this... I'm compalled to ask a stupid question. Did the Normandy C-47s have seatbelts for the paratroopers?

[@PaulOtt426]

I'm pretty sure they did, but I can't say if any of them actually buckled up or not. On one of the few jumps I made with full WWII combat equipment, we were on a C47 I hadn't jumped before and they asked us to buckle up and not many of us could get the buckles to fit over all of our equipment.

[@maxwill6408]

I wonder if they use the T-7 parachute or the T-10 parachute

[@PaulOtt426]

We use the MC1-1C mostly at ADT

@@PaulOtt426 Thanks for the info!

[@agentreece8140]

So if you wanted to drop them all in a consecutive stick what would you do?

[@Guitcad1]

Not T-7 parachutes. I imagine those are hard to come by (and no way would I trust them after 75+ years!) but if you're going to go to this length for historical accuracy it wouldn't be impossible to reproduce.

[@christophersmith4897]

in the information packet they state they put safety over 100% accuracy. The chutes used are supposed to be more steerable than the ones used in WWII. or that's how i understood the briefing.

[@Guitcad1]

@@christophersmith4897 I realize they have to err on the side of caution. One more difference between them and the guys who jumped into Normandy. When the T-10 parachute came out a lot of old timers expressed a preference for the old T-7 because, unlike the T-10, the canopy of the T-7 came straight off your back and was blown open by the prop blast, resulting in what was apparently an unmistakable opening shock. The T-10 was, by comparison, much less jarring and some of them were not entirely sure whether their chute had opened or not.

[@unrezponsive]

The light didn’t turn green They’re not supposed to jump if the light isn’t green

[@PaulOtt426]

True, but over here we go whenever the jump master says to jump. The aircraft pilot doesn't tell us when to jump like they did during the WWII combat jumps.

[@ekim0513]

Didn't they do that in the dark?

[@PaulOtt426]

They did, but not often. A few combat jumps were made at night and there were night training jumps, but most jumps were made during the day.

[@garycole520]

No comparison to what the WWII paratroopers went through,… other than jumping with vintage equipment. What’s the point exactly?

[@PaulOtt426]

Because it's fun? Because the veterans who actually did it in the war love seeing us do it? Do we need an explanation?
