Re: Ammo carriers
Yep....... one good reason Fallschirmjäger stopped being used as paras. What I have never understood is an MP-40 and three or four mags of ammo is not that much weight and it would not be that difficult to rig a sling to make it secure and accessible.
The only reason this worked early on was their use was a surprise. When the other side expects an airborne attack and is ready for it things do not go so well for lightly armed troops
