Eighty years after a whole lot of Allied troopers parachuted from navy plane into Nazi-occupied Netherlands as a part of a daring World Struggle Two offensive, their fashionable equivalents repeated the soar in commemoration.
In an airborne spectacular, 700 paratroopers from eight Nato nations – together with the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and the US – parachuted from 12 plane.
The soar was executed in two waves, and people concerned landed on the identical location at Ginkel Heath, close to the Dutch city of Ede.
Amongst them have been members of the parachute show crew, the British Pink Devils.
The airdrop is one in all a number of occasions organised to mark the anniversary of Operation Market Backyard, an formidable navy offensive designed to hurry up the invasion of Nazi Germany and shorten the conflict in Europe.
