Best Answer

The Nazis invaded Holland for the same reason they invaded many nations - to eliminate the Jewish population. In addition, Nazi Germany's real target was France, as they would have a strong naval foothold there if they made it to the coastline. Holland was in the way, so they took it over in May of 1940.
