“Leg Bag Failure in WWII Airborne Drop”

🇺🇸 “Soldiers who fell in the middle of the night,
“Why did their equipment disappear?”

What was tied to the paratroopers' legs
It wasn't weapons or food… it was a disaster.
Before even reaching the battlefield,
They were left naked.

June 6, 1944, over Normandy.
US Airborne troops are testing a new device called the British **'Leg Bag'**.
This equipment was tied to the paratrooper's legs with a rope and dropped along with the equipment.

📉 The theory was sound, but the reality was a disaster.
Aircraft speed, anti-aircraft fire, turbulence, impact…
As a result, most equipment failures are due to being torn off in the air and lost.
Soldiers had to land on the battlefield naked.

📌 The 101st Airborne Division miraculously completed their mission on the night before D-Day, perhaps because they were human GPS.
In today's video, we dissect one of the most failed inventions on the battlefield: the 'Leg Bag.'
