Hitler using Para-troopers allot, the same thing happens in Holland too, Dropping Para-troopers in The Heage, Amsterdam, Rotterdam(why?, Amsterdam/Rotterdam are major ports), The Heage to took over the Goverment.
I called a sudden strike... very surprice for the Dutch that dont even have good tanks, only a couple of WWI tanks, and 5 mordern planes, some of them reached England...

Good exsample is renting "Soldaat van Oranje" or "Soldier Of Orange"....

If i was a general, i did the same thing, Coastel/major habours first, the rest come later....

But i am a captain of a Uboot lmao :p
