Airborne troops would seize runways with follow on landing forces, already in the air, to reinforce.

Audacious.

It also helps the “audacious” work better when you sneak attack a neutral country.

The Norwegians gave the Krauts a good run for their money though. They tried sailing the heavy cruiser Blucher up the Oslofiord past the Oscarberg Fortress on the night of April 9, 1940 and the Norwegians blew it out of the water.
