I think the emergency chute is the part of a sitzfallschirm etc that deploys first to pull the main chute out of the bag.

Given its small size, that appears to be right.

Hi, Ed...
Again, an excellent selection... the poor old Dorniers weren't getting a good press, though... one in collision with an Amiot 143 (?) and another being dragged away on a lorry... ! Paul |

You're welcome, Paul.

Agree with the comments about the drogue or "pilot" parachute. Found an "Irvin Air Chute" parachute in the wreckage of an RAF Wellington in 1984 and it had a small parachute with four spring-loaded splines in it just like the German example pictured.
