Description
An account of the resource
Stresses the American paratrooper's ability to do battle in a variety of terrains and climates. Portrays the diverse skillset military parachutists must acquire prior to going into battle. Several scenes show paratroopers learning to ski in order to navigate arctic environments. "A quick overview of the weeks spent in learning to jump, tumble, and fall, in practice jumping from a tower and from a dummy plane, in packing the parachute one's life depends on, in learning to jump from a plane in half a second, to guide a chute by working the shroud cords, to land without splintering a leg, to disengage the chute and come up fighting." (War Films Bulletin of the Extension Division Indiana University, February, 1943, 24.)

Britain's Paratroops
Description
An account of the resource
<span>"A film about Britain's parachute troops, showing the training of this most modern branch of the Army, is coming out from London shortly. Specially produced for overseas viewers, <em>Paratroops</em> first shows the recruits jumping off high platforms and swinging from great heights to overcome dizziness. It then describes their training from the first practice jump out of a carrier attached to a balloon up to the actual leap from troop-carrying planes. The men land. Their parachutes are unstrapped. They get to work. Bridges blow up. Oil supplies blaze. It is a thrilling story, graphically done." (Bay of Plenty Beacon, Volume 6, Issue 8, 25 September 1942, Page 2.)<br /></span>
