Re: parachute positionning in a He111

If there is no-one at the controls, my opinion is: it just ain't happening.

Going back to my previous comment.... do you know what kind of mission they were on? If it was a later He111, built/modified for supply drops, the bomb bay might have been more a cargo hold with a different internal arrangement.

This is more an interesting story than any kind of definite answer on crew equipment I think that the He111 was roomy enough for the crew to wear parachutes whilst in position
