Listening to this presentation I was really impressed with the fact that the Allies' paratroopers were so successful. Visability in the air caused difficulties, and when the paratroopers got on the ground they were outnumbered. Despite the difficulties that they had, they were able to pull off this task. I wonder what reasons caused the commanders to keep going with the operation when it was difficult. An informant had given away their plans and left them without the advantage of surprise. I think that this really shows what America could do if they put thier mind to it.
On the other hand, the German plans to defeat the Allies in the air were not going smoothly either. They could not anticipate the paratrooper's landings like they had wanted to. This also caused problems for their comanders when confusion set in. Was this success for the Allies planned or just luck? Looking at the facts it did not seem that they would have an easy success.
