Blitzlreig or lightning war was the way that the Germans took over Norway and France so effectively.

Basically they sent a load of troops and tanks in first causing a distraction.

Then paratroopers were sent over the back to lay on wait.

As soon as the main force had succeeded in pushing the defenders back then the paratroopers were waiting.
