This is really only speculation. The Germans had no plans to send reinforcements in the event of a landing.The airborne provided more direct assistance at Utah Beach. Not to the extent that they were attacking beach defenders from behind while the landing was going on, more in the nature of helping secure exits from the beach inland, so the beachhead could be enlarged.
