Original caption

How U. S. paratroopers are training in England. Paratroopers float to earth after leaving C-47 planes in the European Theater of Operations maneuvers. Note smoke screen on ground. Light infantry weapons have also been dropped in sections. The troops come down near a wooded section in which to take cover and reorganize for action.
