The role of paratroopers (Airborne Troops) was to create a 3rd dimension in warfare, and a 3rd Front (Front, Flank, and Rear). The paratroopers were dropped BEHIND enemy lines. The fortunes of war may have allowed some men to land on enemy lines, and/or the enemy lines were fluid (mobile) and they moved to that position, or US/Allied intelligence missed those positions, and didn't plan for them (didn't know they were there).
