the names of the planes that dropped the paratroopers during the second world war were c47's.
Notably , the Battle of Crete where large numbers of German paratroopers were involved ~ see related link below .
The US , Germans ,
In 1914 when Germany violated Belgian sovereignty to attack France, Britain came to Belgium's aid.
The majority of paratroopers are infantry soldiers, and their mission is identical to infantry. The only exception is how they get to the battle field ... they drop in from the sky.
Paratroopers (fallschirmjäger)
German paratroopers ("fallschirmjaeger") were used on Crete, as part of the campaign in Greece. They suffered such heavy losses in the drop that Hitler never again permitted their use as parachute landing troops, and they fought the rest of the war as infantry. German paratroopers were part of the German Air Force (the Luftwaffe), not the Army (Wehrmacht). The Germans also made a successful glider landing attack on the Belgian fortress of Eben Emael in 1940.
