The third reel continues with ground combat, the capture of Moordijk, and the strategic advance of German troops, despite French intervention. The paratroopers successfully hold out for three days and two nights until German combat troops arrive, contributing to the rapid surrender of Holland. The film concludes with the paratroopers meeting up with advancing German forces, celebrating their victory.
