THE LAST DROP: 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF OPERATION VARSITY
Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of Operation Varsity - the largest single-day and last major airborne operation of the Second World War.
I've been hard at work the past few weeks on this Operation Varsity photoshoot. Running late per usual, I finished set up and photography by dark on the 24th. Editing and organizing the photos took longer than expected - but here they are...
Special Thanks To:
Dick (HammerSix) - for letting me borrow some of his FLAK crates and magazine boxes made by Dennis (The Toy Surgeon) and for letting me use his Bobby Dalto telephone pole.
Jaime ( montañes68 ) - for encouragement, enthusiasm, and support in this endeavor
Josh (JOSH51st) - for historical and technical support, as well as encouragement and enthusiasm. The medic figure definitely wouldn't have happened without him.
Zack (panzerzacker) - for encouragement, enthusiasm, and support in this endeavor as well as our shared interest in the operation.

HAVING JUST LANDED, PART OF A RIFLE SQUAD OCCUPIES A FLAKVIERLING PIT QUICKLY VACATED BY ITS FORMER LUFTWAFFE OCCUPANTS. THEIR NEXT MOVE IS TO CLEAR THE DIERSFORDTERWALD.
