A parachute works by trapping air underneath, but when the air is trapped the pressure increases and some of the air has to escape. If there were no hole in the center of a round parachute, such as the military 'chutes used in WW2, the excess air would have nowhere to escape except under the edges of the 'chute, which would cause increasingly violent oscillation and quickly the collapse of the 'chute, which would drop the parachutist to the ground at high speed and kill him. The central hole allows a controlled release of the air pressure in the 'chute, preventing oscillation and the collapse of the 'chute.

Do paratroopers leave their parachutes behind?
Paratroopers typically do not leave their parachutes behind after landing. They are trained to recover their parachutes and equipment after landing to avoid leaving behind any materials that could be used by the enemy or in subsequent operations. In some cases, if a parachute is damaged or not recoverable, they may abandon it, but this is not the norm. The focus is usually on gathering all gear for reuse or proper disposal.

What did the paratroopers do?
On D-Day, the paratroops were to secure key objectives, towns, and causeways inland from Omaha beach. Paratroopers were light infantry troops who could be moved into a position as needed. They could either be dropped behind the enemy lines as in many of the invasions. Or they could be quickly deployed to a position that needed immediate reinforcement, such as at Battle of the Bulge (i.e. Bastogne). Paratroopers could also be used very much like Commando or Special Forces in that they could hit a small objective with speed and stealth.
