I got my KG-200 book out and it was called a Personen-Abwurf-Gerat. It is approx. 4 meters in dia. with foam padding to reduce landing impact and a section for luggage, then up to three agents in a plywood cask in two tiers of harness webbing then three parachutes under an aluminium cap. It was attached to underwing bomb attach points. They said they liked useing it because it was safer to drop agents at night with little or no parachute training and kept them together at landing with their equipment. They said the drawback was the container was hard to hide and dispose of quickly.
