In the book "Heaven and hell. The war diary of a german paratrooper" by Martin Pöppel there was a passage in the page 33 that reads the following: "A tug on the cords, another to get me over a ditch, since I have no desire to get wet." The passage is about the jumps on Holland in 1940.
I guess that in the german parachutes the paratrooper can´t guide his parachute before landing.
What do you think about this passage by the author?
It supposed that the book is a diary.
Many thanks.
