and reinforce troops. Air transport was used to drop airborne
troops behind enemy lines such operations caused confusion
among enemy formations, and empowered the attacking German
troops with the initiative. Air transport also proved invaluable
in delivering, supplying and maintaining isolated or cut off
units from the air.
