Hello, found this photo. It says it's from Opration Market Garden. Can someone tell me more? Do you think it's authentic?

It looks staged. I'd imagine combat troops would be further spread and advancing at this point of the landing.

Could well be wrong, I'll eat crow if need be.

I think it's authentic. How on earth would you stage the paratroopers dropping? There are other photos of that event which show very similar scenes.
