Yes paratroopers did play a significant role in the victory of WW2, because without the paratroopers landing at Normandy and defeating the Nazi's practically from the inside out there would have never been a chance for the British troops to take out the retreating Nazi troops.
Michael,I think that you will find that U.S. paratroopers were dropped inland from U.S.beach landings, and British and Canadian Para's were dropped inland from their beach troops so that the U.S. para's did not have any influence on the enemy troops that the British beach landing forces came up against.I would suggest that the airborne forces of all three nations played a major role in that they prevented re-inforcements from reaching the battle on the coast which was tough enough for the amphibious troops as it was, if more enemy troops had arrived the invasion would certainly have failed completely and the lost of life would have been unbeleivable. The opposition for the lightly armed airborne soldier is just as great and he is completely surrounded BY CHOICE, that is why 80% of volunteers fail to pass the selection test, they are without a doubt the best,( but perhaps I am biased)
