I was U.S. observer for a test jump at the German Airborne School when I was at Bad Toelz in Dec '80/Jan 81 time frame. I still have my after action report somewhere in my office. The declared plan was 250 feet altitude, no reserve.
My AAR was highly critical, and I told the SFOD(E) commander "The German's are going to kill a few of themselves with this, then it will go away."
And in 1985, at Ft. Bragg, they did. Just one, but it was enough.
