Yep, a US Paratrooper carries a lot of gear and weight. Add to what has already been said, he carries his portion of group equipment. An AT mine, couple of mortar rounds, extra batteries, etc. mission equipment will be split-up amongst everyone.

The German Para’s used equipment containers for their group needs. They jumped lighter. Part of it is because of the different parachutes used. The German chute suspension lines came together at one point above the trooper. He had less control on the final adjustments to how he landed. They also had a different exit technique.they leaped face down and arms spread. That means they couldn’t have as much gear and weight on them. That means they had to use the equipment containers. If all went well the containers were good because they had more and larger items, but it also meant they were lightly equipped until they got their containers. I do not know how the containers were divided up between aircraft. That must be considered when discussing men per aircraft.

Man. I watching it with my sisters and there are 2 nude scenes already with all the female soldiers fully nude, front and back. Amazon need to put a rating warning on it.

Also it's a remake of a 1972 TV movie, which is on YouTube in 2 parts.

A remake? I watched the original, so must have a gander.
