The haystack at right would have softened the landing for this paratrooper who took a tumble during operations in Holland by the 1st Allied Airborne Army on September 24, 1944. (U.S. Army) #

That is probably the worst parachute landing ever, landing on his head  :/

He probably isn't actually landing on his head.  He probably is just in the middle of a rather uncomfortable roll.

Still a perfect moment to make a picture.

Oberfeldwebel Christoph Krämer, Platoon leader in the 5./Panzergrenadier-Regiment 7.  Won his Knights Cross on May 14th, 1944.  Can't find details on the circumstances sadly.  He survived the war though, and died on October 9th, 1990.

Most likely an Aichi D3A on kamikaze mission. No info on the ship though.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

"Japanese Kamikaze aircraft diving on the ship at 1729 hrs on 6 January 1945, during the Lingayen Gulf operation. This plane hit the main deck by the after gun turret, causing extensive damage and casualties."

Probably a few of you have seen this before but I haven't seen it posted in here and I went through the whole thread once. Linked due to size.

Ah yes, a classic shot.  Last I saw, it was getting labeled as being somewhere in France 1940.
