Slide197.jpg
Notes: 44th BG dropped to the 101st (having trouble figuring out which it was).

Slide215.jpg
Notes: Looking away from farmer’s property at the drop zone and landing zone fields. The owner was a young boy during the war and gave the paratroopers water from the spigot on the property as they ran to their rally point.

Slide214.jpg
Notes: Farmer labeled his roof to help paratroopers find landing zone.

Slide202.jpg
Notes: You can see 2 chutes coming out. Looks like they are turning to get out of area near Best.

Slide198.jpg
Notes: Labeled boundaries of drop zone and Paulshoef where the 506th landed and where 44th dropped supplies. Think the forest below is where we see some of the photos w/ bombers flying low over dense tree-filled area.

Slide196.jpg
Notes: 9/18/44. Not clear which of the drop zones the 44th went to.
