82nd Airborne Jump

The Paratrooper™ is full size, 24 speed mountain bike designed to endure any terrain at high speed in silence with no heat signature. In addition to the high performance feature, the bike folds simply without the use of tools. By turning one quick lever, the Paratrooper™ folds in less than 30 seconds into 3' x 3' pack that can be dropped from a plane, strapped to the side of an LAV or thrown in the back of a trunk.

Rare declassified film clip from WWII, produced in May, 1943, by the OSS (Office of Strategic Services - the intelligence organization that preceded the CIA.) This film clip shows an early version of a U.S. Decoy Paratrooper, sometimes nicknamed "Oscar", being tested by the Navy Beach Jumper Unit - a specialized unit in charge of several deception projects during WWII. This Decoy Paratrooper Dummy (paradummy) was only 18" tall and was made of cast metal. It was meant to be used as a deception device to mislead the enemy into believing an Airborne Attack was occurring in one location, when in fact the real attack would be occurring elsewhere. The military hoped that it's small size would appear life sized when seen from a distance while airborne. However, these 18" paradummies were never used during the war because during testing it was decided that they appeared too small and rigid while airborne to look life-like in a combat environment. As a result, the paradummy was soon redesigned and a much larger version was developed (a four foot tall model that was made of a rubberized inflatable material.) This larger version, called the PD Pack, was eventually used in Southern France during Operation Anvil-Dragoon, in 1944 and again later in the Philippines. A third type of paradummy was also developed for use in WWII. It became the most famous of them all when it was used on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. It is believed these paradummies were manufactured in the UK by the Littlewoods factory at Carrickfergus. They were made of burlap sack cloth and were filled with straw. They were about 3 feet tall and were dropped in Normandy on June 5/6th, 1944, during a successful British SAS Operation code named "Titanic."

Erinnerungen

WWW.MySpace.com/cplmason Chris Mason was a PRCA Bullfighter until his death in Iraq, he did his last rodeo in 2005. He entered the military in 2003 as a US Paratrooper. He told me "I cannot just sit on the sidelines, while other Americans are fighting and dying for my freedom." He was killed fighting Al-Qaeda terrorist inside the small town of Siniyah, Iraq just outside of FOB Summerall in Northern Iraq.... Some say he was killed by the blast of an IED, DOD reports he was killed during the firefight with Al-Qaeda terrorist, no one knows for sure. Only thing we do know is he loved God, the United States of America, and the Rodeo. "Some Gave All"

Various video clips of fallschirmjager set to Rot Scheint die Sonne. My first video, feedback and insults are welcome. Clips are from Norway, Belgium, Crete and later Italy and France. Sorry there is not more combat footage but I tried very hard to only use fallschirmjager in the video, and rarely where they dropped into battle with camera men

We got a plane and dropped 3,000 of those plastic toy soldiers with parachutes onto a big target! Music is All I Can by Clocks and you can download now or get the 7" from Jan 7th

Except for two jumpers who stutter-stepped at the door and were spun around upon exit, these experienced paratroopers have ON THEIR OWN came up with their own way to walk at a 45 degree angle to the jump door and then step out from the jump platform with the leg leading into the slipstream first and then snapping into a tight body position "knife edge" to cut through the air smoothly and not be spun around. http://www.combatreform.com/jumpschoolaar.htm The problem is that this was a DAY jump and they could SEE what they were doing. This is why the weak institutionalized technique of what steps are taken and how, coupled with no markings on the aircraft floor is not A-O-K. Real Airborne professionals will not be singing egomaniac perversions of The Battle Hymn of the Republic but would be working their 5th points of contact off to provide more effective Airborne 3D maneuver warfare to serve the Republic---instead of feeding their weak egos with I-am-more-Airborne-Than-Thou crap. http://www.combatreform.com/airbornewarfare.htm Want to know more?

some of my new paratrooper stuff please rate and comment

Interview with a WW2 US inteligence officer from the paratroopers, who now lives in a Veterans Administration hospital. He describes how he shot a German non commissioned officer, and then searched his body, finding photos that he then kept as souvenirs. (photos taken at a studio in Ellwangen) This officer was on patrol when they were ambushed by German troops in a forrest, and two US soldiers were killed. The Americans pulled back, and returned later in the day, going around the German position and attacking them from behind. All the Germans surrendered when invited to do so, except one die hard non commissioned officer. Un ancien officier parachutiste Américain montre des photos qu'il a trouvé dans les poches d'un Allemand qu'il a tué. Ein Amerikanische Fallschirmjäger zeigt Fotos das er gefunden hat in die Tasche von ein Deutsche Soldate das er geschiessen hat.
